From History of Washington County, Tennessee, 1988 by the Watauga Association of Genealogists
Lawrence Glaze was the first of the Glaze family to arrive in Washington County from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (formerly from England). He married December 18, 1817, Elizabeth Humphrey (1786-1850), daughter of Elijah (sic) Humphreys (Carter County, Tennessee). They settled along the Nolachuckey River at a time when the area was populated by Indians. The Glaze family, like other families, faced Indian encounters many times. They endured many hardships of the wilderness country.
Their farm was in what is now the present Philadelphia Community. It was there, they reared their five children:
William B. Glaze;
John Glaze;
Lawrence Glaze, Jr,
Jane Glaze and
Minerva Glaze (who married 1849, Archibald Broyles [b. 1827, son of Simeon, Matthias]).
Lawrence earned a good living for his family by farming. His children enjoyed the advantages of a good country home and school life and were reared in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of which their parents were active members. Lawrence and Elizabeth Glaze were buried in a field on their farm, Philadelphia Community, Washington County.
