General Thomas Glascock was born in Augusta, Georgia, in 1790, and died in 
Decatur, Georgia, in 1841. At the age of 22 he entered the army in the War of 
1812, and was a Captain of Volunteers. In the Seminole troubles in 1817, he 
served under General Andrew Jackson with the rank of Brigadier General, and 
was then a young man of 27 only.

When the troubles were settled, he returned to his law practice; in 1835 he 
was elected to the 24th Congress; in 1837 re-elected without opposition; and 
at the close of that term retired from public life, settling in Decatur, 
Georgia, intending to lead the peaceful life of a country gentleman; but a few 
months later was thrown from his horse and killed.
