• Notes

  William Glenn sold land to Henry Eagle on Nov. 30, 1839 in Gallia Co. deeds, V. 16, p. 246. His wife's name was Maria. It was situate on the north half of the northeast quarter of section two in Twp. 6, Range 16 of Gallia Co. These wers originally bought in Chillocothe. (CL-524) This is probably the W.R. who purchased land on May 28, 1845 in Gallia Co., Ohio in twp. 7, range 16, and section 21. He purchased 41 more acres on May 11, 1847 in section 36. (CL-449) He then sold land toMarcus Homan on Dec. 29, 1847 when his wife's name was Sarah. (CL-525) He is involved in several more land transactions throughout his lifetime. (CL-526-536) His stone is next to his parents and he does not appear to have a wife buried next to him. If we read the stone correctly, he was age 65 years, and 21 days old. (CL-455) This male could be John H. Glenn who married Jane Dupre on 1/1/1839 in Gallia Co., Ohio. He purchased 79.28 acres on Nov 22, 1847 in Twn. 7, range 16, section 19; 39.37 acres on twn. 7, range 16, section 20 on Nov. 20, 1847; and 156.8s on Nov 22, 1847 in Twn. 7, range 16 and section 20. All other land purchases apply to these Glenn brothers, and only this John H. is unaccounted for in the partial lists I've found for the names of James William Glenn's children. He is the right age to be the unknown male born before 1820 according to census records. Some of his land is also adjacent to George Glenn which could mean that he's the son of George Glenn instead. (CL-162, 449)
