  1. 1.  Hugh GLENNHugh GLENN was born on 11 Dec 1774 in Naked Creek, Augusta, VA; died on 24 Jan 1834 in Mt. Sidney, Augusta, VA; was buried in Fort Defiance, Augusta County, Virginia, United States of America.

    Notes:

    Kevin Kirk in "Augusta County Virginia Heritage Book" states that Hugh was listed as the only son of George who remained in Augusta Co., VA and inherited his father's estate. He was also the administrator of his father's estate. He had 3 wives with children by all of them. According to See's book on George Glenn, his son Hugh's son, George was the father of the infamous Dr. Hugh Glenn of California.

    The birth dates for this family came from Hugh Glenn's Bible. On the inside front cover it is inscribed "Hugh Glenn's Book, 12/25/1796." In several cases the dates were very difficult to read and might be misinterpreted. (CL-343) Three of his children's names were illegible with birth dates of 3/25/180(8?), 12/23/1809, and 1/15/1812. We have determined that the child born in 1809 was also named George. It's likely that his first son named George died before 1809. (CL-343) He was the founder of Mt. Sidney in Augusta Co., VA which was named by a relative through marriage, Samuel Curry.

    Hugh married Elizabeth MCCAUSLAND on 28 Jul 1801 in , Augusta, VA. Elizabeth (daughter of John MCCAUSLAND) died after 20 Jun 1820. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    George might have married his step-sister. Sharon Forkell believes that Mary was the daughter of James William Anderson and Rebecca Turk. Rebecca was George's step-mother. If Mary is her daughter by her first marriage, she was not a blood relative to George. Somewhere after 1824 and before 1847, George and Mary moved to Monroe County, MO. It appears that Mary died in Missouri though no death record has been found. George remarried Elizabeth Riley by whom he had 2 more sons.

    George married Mary ANDERSON on 11 Dec 1823 in , , VA, USA. Mary was born about 13 Dec 1805; died on 21 Dec 1845 in Paris, Monroe, MO; was buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Paris, Monroe, MO. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    According to an article in the Sunday "Oregonian", Hugh was a prominent Farmer and Doctor in California. A county that was formed from Colusa Co., California was named after him, "Glenn County". It still exists today. One of his daughters, Ella married Peter French, cattle king of Malheur Co., Oregon who was also Dr. Hugh Glenn's partner. Dr. Glenn was particulary known for helping the down and out. His book keeper was one of these persons. He repaid Doctor Hugh Glenn by laying in wait with and gun and murdering him as he exited a building. He was captured for his crime. (CL-509) Hugh J. Glenn died intestate. On March 14, 1883 the administration of his estate was granted to E. S. Wilson, a brother-in-law of Dr. Glenn. These records indicate that he owned 58,000 acres of land in Colusa County and 60,000 acres in Oregon, another extensive ranch in Nevada and 40,00 head of cattle. His killer's name was Hurman Miller. On Oct. 21, 1883, he was found guilty of murder in the first degree with the imprisonment penalty. The following information was provided by Sharon Forkell in 2003: "Hugh J.
