John and Ann GLAISTER appear in the records of Home Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends (Quakers) as the parents of William, born 2 June 1733 (see below for his later life). It is hard to make out their place of residence but it could be Old Mawbray, which is in the township of St Cuthberts in the parish of Holme Cultram AKA Abbey Holme in north-west Cumberland. Their other children included Robert (who died in 1789 on the Isle of Man) and Rachel (who married Thomas OSTLE, brother to Mary OSTLE mentioned below, and died in 1805 at Allonby).
William married Mary OSTLE, of a prominent local Quaker family. They had several children:
Mary (17 February 1758 - married Daniel BEEBY - detailed below)
John (about 1759 - married Mary BEEBY, sister of Daniel BEEBY just mentioned; John and Mary lived at nearby Wolsty and had four children; John died in 1837)
