• Notes

  He received his father's work and family tradition on his ancestors which he imparted to distant family members in 1936 via letters and a visit. He was age 79 at the time and still practicing law as an attorney. He is quoted as sayinge Youngs and Glenns had very frequently intermarried in Ireland and came here from Ulster, Ireland. One of the old sayings was that if they kept on intermarrying together, they would turn to noses and feet, as large noses and feet were characteristic of the family." Mr. Curry also stated in his letter that the James Young whose will was probated in 1790, was the James Young to whom a warrant was issued along with Robert Curry, for military service, and he stated in a personal conversation that this is the same James Young who has military record in the Revolutionary War. (James Young was his father's gr.grandfather. He would have likely been told stories about his gr. grandfather who was in the Revolution and died 16 years before he was born.) During this visit, he gave family members his copies of 4 generations of his father's ancestry and gave them a tour of where the Glenn's were buried as well as lived.
