Notes:

Jane's surname is thought to be Johnson or Johnston after the middle name of her firstborn son. In Guilford Co., NC in militia records dated 1779, there are an Alexander Johnston, William Johnston, John Johnston, Gideon Johnston and Mordecai Johnston enlisted that could be leads for her relatives along with a James, William and John Calhoun. By age, they are more likely her nephews if she is a Johnston by birth.Will of Jean (Johnson) Calhoun: File #082 State of North Carolina, Guilford County, In the name of God, Amen.

Jean married James CALHOON before 1755. James (son of John CALHOUN (theory) and Mary (Theory)) was born in Abt. 1729 in Ireland or Scotland; died about Feb 1795 in , Guilford, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her descendants suggested she was born in Virginia.

Ann married John HOLLADAY in Jul 1779 in Guilford, North Carolina, USA. John was born before 1756; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James Jr. received 300 acres of an original land grant in Oct. of 1783 in Guilford Co., NC. He had applied to receive a parcel of vacant land in July of 1779. It basically took over 4 years to be granted some. It was described as land on both sides of Troublesome Creek.This James has another male in his household in 1790 over age 16. I suggest this was his theorized brother Hugh who was born abt. 1767. Their father still had one son living at home in 1790 whom I believe to be John Johnston Calhoun who was over age 16. I suspect that is why his father gave him the home he was living in as he was caring for the farm and his mother already in 1795 when he was ill and passing from this life.Brother John never bought more land and sold at least some of it to his brother Samuel in 1797. Since he did not sell land to brother, James, it also indicates he was not the brother living with this James in the 1790 census.

Family/Spouse: Sarah ***, 1790 census (accounts for 3 out of 3 females) (1810 - 1 f over 45). Sarah was born before 1767 in , , North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He would have been born in Lunenburg where his father lived from 1748-1764. His parents had sold all of their known land there in Feb. and March of 1764, putting his birthplace in question. His name is transcribed as Samuel E. Calhoun when he was a bondsman for his daughter, Martha, in 1826.

He received a land grant in Guilford, NC in 1782 for 200 acres on Hogans Creek. He had applied for it in 1779. His father sold him 100 more acres of land in Guilford Co., NC in 1785.

He was the administrator to the estate of his father along with his brother James in 1795. It is not known when the estate was completed.

He received a bed and jug from his mother's will in 1805. He was asked to pay her funeral expenses in her will.

He sold lots of land after 1805 through 1828 in Guilford, NC.

He bought items from his brother James' estate in 1813.

He is living in Guilford Co., NC in 1830 and is listed with multiple sons and daughters still living with him. He is between age 70 and 79 in this census. His possible son Samuel is accounted for in another 1830 census living near likely brothers James and Moses Calhoun of Guilford Co., NC.
He is NOT the Samuel who moved to Barnwell Co., SC in 1795 and then to Montgomery Co., Georgia as is OFTEN stated in 2nd hand genealogies. He can't be as he is accounted for by all of the above Guilford Co., NC records.

He is the Samuel in the following Guilford Co., NC records.

Notes:

If Robert was born in 1765, he was not likely born in Lunenburg, VA as his parents had sold 400 acres of land in Lunenburg in 1764. His parents next show up in Rowan Co., NC records before finally settling in Guilford, NC.Robert was in the 1790 census for Guilford Co., NC. He had a son under age 16, he was over age 16 and there were 3 females in his household. He was living within 2 households of the James Calhoun with 3 males over age 16 and 2 females. This is probably his father by their ages. Robert Calhoun bought 100 acres of land from Andrew Mitchell on Dec 9, 1796. He sold 100 acres to John Smoot on Sept 2, 1811. They moved to Gallia County, OH and were in the Racoon township tax roles beginning in 1819. Wm Calhoun son of A and M d April 4, 1838 age 14 Greenlaw, Chilicothe First Presb. Gallia, Oh Mrs Eve Calhoon and Allison Hearn Nov 7 1852 and John Calhoun and Eliz Stewart jul 23, 1868.? (Candee Varvill) He and his wife are the ancestors of Candee Varvill.

Robert married Armeila THARP about 1785 in , Guilford, NC. Armeila (daughter of William THARP and Mary PONDER) was born on 27 Nov 1767 in Murderkill Hundred, Kent, DE; died in 1840. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1850 census for Indiana, Elsey and her husband are living with their son Abel. She is age 84 at the time and the person who gave the info to the census taker believed she was born in North Carolina and her husband was born in Delaware.

Elsey married Joseph THARP on 10 Nov 1791 in , Guilford, NC. Joseph (son of William THARP and Mary PONDER) was born on 10 Mar 1765 in Mispillion Hundred, Kent, DE, USA; died after 1850 in , Clinton, IN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He could easily not be the son of James and Jane. He is in neither of their wills. If he is their son, he would have died before the writing of their will.

Notes:

The only census he appears to be in is as a son over age 16 in the 1790 census. This is true unless James and Jean had another unaccounted for son who died before 1795 and is not in their wills. There is a possibility of this as there is a male living with eldest son James in the 1790 census born before 1774 that could account for this John instead.

I am theorizing that he had a son John who was in the 1820 census for Guilford, NC. All of his sons are theories.

It is also a theory that his wife's name was Sarah and she is the one living as a widow in the 1820 census for Guilford Co., NC. His brother James was a married to a Sarah also, but the census records for James would not match the family completely for the Sarah Calhoun in the 1820 census. Two Sarah's married to 2 brothers accounts for most of the Calhon's in Guilford of the correct age to be James and Jean Calhoon's grandchildren.

He received land from his father in his 1795 will. This indicates he was at least 21 at the time. John sold at least some of this property to brother Samuel in 1797. John again was named in his mother's will in 1804 which was proved in 1805. These are all the records he has been found in. He is not in later census records nor does he buy other property.



Died:
Event Description: He was named in his father's will in 1795 and his mother's in 1805. He does not appear to purchase land but sold at least part of what he was given by his father's will in 1797 to his brother Samuel. John is also not in any Guilford Co., Census records.

Some 2nd hand sources say she was born in SC but I've seen no evidence yet that her parents ever lived in SC.

Sarah married John LOVE in 1791. John was born about 1761 in Of Georgia; died in 1808 in , Ross, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She had a baby out of wedlock with a Bowen. Bowens and Barhams show up as witnesses with this family. Edward Owens was her bondsman for her marriage as her father had just died. John C. Hamilton was a witness to the Bond document.

Family/Spouse: James WHEATLEY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Unknown REED. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Easter was named in her grandmother's will. This indicates she is the eldest daughter of the eldest son whom is James Calhoun. According to the 1790 and 1810 census, she was born before 1785.

Notes:

There is NO PROOF that the James Calhoun of Putnam Co., Indiana was married to a Rebecca Parrish at all. They had him confused with the James married to Rebecca Parrish in Guilford in 1822. Typical trees for him had him also listed with two daughters that belonged to the James Calhoun whose daughters, Eliza and Martha were listed as underage in his 1838 estate administration in Guilford Co., NC. That James was married to Rebecca Parish. Underage children listed in his 1838 Estate Administration in Guilford, NC list daughters Eliza and Martha. There is NO proof that the James married to Nancy had daughters Eliza or Martha. Those two daughters and his wife when listed as Rebecca are INCORRECT. It would be easy to make these mistakes without seeing the admin for the James who died in 1838.

We know that this James married to a Nancy as per census records, had a d. Mary "Polly" who married a James Clark. They had a son J. Winfield Clark who is listed as being born in Guilford Co., NC on his death certificate. This suggests that James married to Nancy might also have been from Guilford Co., NC.

It is a complete theory that this James is the son of John Johnstone Calhoun by his age and likely place of birth.

...

Samuel married Levisa PARISH on 12 Dec 1828 in Guilford, North Carolina. Levisa (daughter of Reuben PARRISH and Elizabeth HIGHFILL) was born on 26 Sep 1808 in North Carolina, United States of America; died on 9 Feb 1888 in Plum Tree, Huntington, Indiana, USA; was buried in Huntington, Huntington County, Indiana, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her bondsman for her marriage was James Campbell, because her father was deceased. In that case, most bondsman were relatives to the bride. If there was no brother who signed it instead of the father, then another relative would sign it. This suggests her mother might have been a Campbell.

She is NOT likely the sibling to Shadrack, James (brother of William) or William because they were bondsman for each other. Their father had passed by the time each married.

The only other Calhoun son of James and Jean that had possibly died before 1824 was John Johnston Calhoun of Guilford Co., NC.

Mourning married Stephen FLIN on 13 Dec 1824 in Guilford, North Carolina, USA. Stephen was born about 1791 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Samuel deeded land to likely son Shadrack in 1825 in Guilford, NC.

On the full page before Shadrack in the 1830 census, a Samuel D. Calhoun is living. They are possibly brothers.

Family/Spouse: Mary "Polly" SMITH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Shadrack married Susannah NICHOLS on 10 Apr 1827 in Guilford, North Carolina, United States of America. Susannah was born in 1797 in North Carolina, United States of America; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James is living at home in the 1820 census. He married Rebecca Parish. His widow lived within a few houses of likely brother Shadrick in the 1840 census. Next to his widow lived a cousin, James Calhoun, who was slightly older than him. In the 1830 census, he lived next to his brother, Moses Calhoun, but was on the next pape of the census record making their connection unnoticed. Their father Samuel's record where he was between the age of 70 and 79 was a few homes above Moses' record. His likely mother-in-law and 2 siblings are living with them. Joseph Parish was the bondsman for Rebecca Parish when she and James married telling us that is her likely father or her brother if her father is deceased.

James married Rebecca Jane PARISH on 14 Jan 1822 in Guilford, North Carolina, USA. Rebecca (daughter of PARISH and Unknown) was born on 23 Jun 1802 in Guilford County, North Carolina, USA; died on 5 Dec 1850 in Guilford County, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Mary. Mary was born about 1814; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Samuel deeded land to likely son Enoch in 1827 in Guilford, NC.

Enoch married Polly FLYNN on 6 Nov 1831 in Stokes, North Carolina, USA. Polly was born about 1814 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is listed as the son of James Calhoun (Jr.) and his wife Sarah in most family trees even though he and his possible brother James were living 3 and 4 homes away from peer, Samuel Calhoun.

His bondsman for his marriage was Harmon Harris, the father of neither the bride or groom. It's usually the father of the bride that is the bondsman so this indicates her father was deceased.

He was deeded land by Samuel Calhoun in 1835 suggesting that he is the son of Samuel. However, Samuel's younger possible sons, Allen and then Enoch got deeded land 2 years after Moses, so maybe Moses is a nephew of Samuel instead.

He moved to Rockingham, NC during the 1840 census and then moved back to Guilford, NC. If he is the son of James Calhoon Jr. and Sarah, then his Uncle Samuel is the likely father of William C. and Obidiah C. Calhoun of Rockingham Co., NC as that fits with Uncle Samuel's census records.

Moses married Sally CRUTCHFIELD on 12 Jan 1825 in Guilford, North Carolina, USA. Sally was born about 1802 in North Carolina; died after 1850 in , Guilford, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Samuel E. Calhoun was her bondsman for her marriage.

Family/Spouse: John GRISSOM. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It's possible she was a second spouse of Samuel or one of his older sons instead.

James married Elizabeth "Betsy" STEPHENS on 13 Oct 1831 in Gallia, Ohio, USA. Elizabeth was born in 1807 in Virginia, USA; died on 23 Dec 1870 in Gallia County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Zadock married Nancy THARP on 25 Jan 1827 in , Gallia, OH, USA. Nancy (daughter of Joseph THARP and Elsey (Elserman) CALHOUN) was born in Nov 1807 in Ohio, United States of America; died on 28 Oct 1858 in , Louisa, IA, USA; was buried in Columbus Junction, Louisa County, Iowa, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The name was hard to decipher on the paper listing his/her birth. It could be Alec, Alen or Abed also. (CL-316) It is fairly certain however, from census records that this child is a female. There is an Alsy Thrp who marries a Henry Hartman on May 9, 1819 in Franklin Co., IN. (CL-317g, 425) We know from the birth listing in a NC University, that Alsy is the daughter of Joseph Tharp. It is conjecture that he is the Joseph married to Elsy who died in Indiana after 1830.

Alce married Adonijah BUSH before 1850. Adonijah died after 1850 in Of Clinton, IN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A Lavina Tharp married a James Dollar on May 29, 1816 in Franklin Co., IN. (CL-425)

Notes:

At Ancestry, my mother's descent to Mary Tharp is supported by a DNA Circle that relates 5 participants all back to this same Mary Tharp and inter-relates them to various members in the group. This is evidence that we descend genetically through this James Glenn. Mary is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 census and Polly on her gravestone. As Polly was a nickname for many women's names including Mary, I am assuming that her original name was Mary. It was common for the Tharp line to name their daughters Mary and call them Polly. (CL-308) About the same time as our Mary, there were the following Tharps in Gallia Co., Ohio: 1820 Census: Abel (Raccoon Twp.) who married Polly Bruno on Sept 7, 1820; Zaus, Jane Tharp who married William Blagg on Sept 14, 1817, Jesse who married Nancy Stephens on Dec. 30, 1819, and John Tharp (Perry Twp.) who married Harriet Souls on Feb. 3, 1828. Zaus was born in 1804 in Gallia Co, Ohio. He married Mrs. Rachel Calfrey. They moved to Boone Co., Indiana and then Grundy Co., MO. He died there on Sep. 8, 1885. (CL-399) By 1830, the Gallia Co., Ohio census only lists a John Tharp in Spring...Twp. Joseph and his son Abel moved to Tippacanoe Co., IN in 1830. William Tharp is in Tippacone Co., IN by 1840. Zaus is in Boone Co., IN by then also. From the migration pattern through Gallia county, I believe they are likely to be father and brothers of our Mary Polly Tharp. Zaus (also known as Isaias after Joseph's brother?, Esaes or Isaac (after Joseph's brother?) named one of his daughters Mary Polly Tharp. (CL-425, 448)

Mary married James GLENN on 31 Oct 1811 in Huntington Twp, Gallia, OH, USA. James (son of William GLENN and Ann CURRY, *) was born on 4 Mar 1792 in , Augusta, VA; died on 11 Jan 1886 in Huntington Twp, Gallia, OH, USA; was buried about 14 Jan 1886 in Glenn Cemetery, Vinton, Gallia, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This William Tharp is listed in the 1810 Gallia Co, OH tax lists. There is also a William Tharp who purchased land on 10/21/1816 in Dearborn Co., IN. (CL-441) By 1830, he could be the William who lived in Fairfield Twp., Tippacanoe Co., Indiana. He is of the correct age to be our William. According to the census record for 1830, there were 7 males and no females in his family at that time. By 1835, he appears to be married again. He and wife, Martha, of Tippacanoe Co. purchased land in Boone Co., IN. In the 1840 census, William's household consisted of 3 males and 2 females. (CL-425, 547) There is a possibility that this William died in 1844 or 1850. The 1844 date belongs to a will in Will Book 2, p. 300 and the 1850 is a will in Will Book 3, p. 38 in Iredell Co. for a William Tharp in the North Carolina State Archives that needs to be checked. (CL-318)

Family/Spouse: Martha UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Abel was in Gallia Co., OH in the 1820 census, Tippecanoe Co., IN in the 1830 census, Clinton Co., IN in the 1840 (CL-434) and 1850 census (CL-435), Fountain Co., Indiana in the 1860 census. He had lived in Ohio by 1817 because his son Isaac was born there between 1817 and 1818. He lives in all the right places to be the son of Joseph and Elcy Tharp of Boone Co., IN and his first two children are named after his mother, Elsey, and brother or grandfather, William Tharp. (CL-425) He is living adjacent to possible father Joseph, brother William and son or nephew, Isaac in the 1830 Tippacanoe Co., IN census and he is still living next to his likely father in the 1850 Clinton Co., IN census. (CL-436)

He appears to have been married three times, although the second marriage could be to an unknown son Abel. He is married to a Margaret in the 1860 Fountain Co., IN census. He is listed as Abel Thorp in his first marriage. (CL-425)

There was an Abel Tharp and John McCay who bought a storeroom built by John Schultz in 1853 and coverted it into a saloon in Pulaski Co. After that it was converted into Medarysville's first school house by 1857-58! This could easily be our Abel Tharp. (CL-437)

Abel married Polly BRUNO on 7 Sep 1820 in , Gallia, OH, USA. Polly died before Jun 1839. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Asher COLE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Abel married Margaret BURT on 29 Apr 1851 in , Clinton, IN. Margaret was born about 1807 in , Augusta, VA; died after 1860. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John is in the 1830 Gallia Co., Ohio census at between the age of 20 & 30 with a wife of the same age. He was having children in Indiana from the 1830's and the mid 1840's. He might be the John Tharp living somewhat near his parents in the 1840 Boone Co., IN census. He had one son at that time under age 5. In the 1840 Boone Co., IN census, he also had a daughter age 10-15, a son age 5-10, a daughter age 5-10, two sons under age 5 and another daughter under age 5 in this census. He and his family are living in Benton Co., IA in the 1860 Fed. Census. Here are their children's birth dates from the 1860 census. "James ? b. l831, Mary Ann b. 13 May 1832 in Gallia Co. OH, Eunice b. Feb 1833 OH, Martin V b.1838 IN, William b. 1839 IN, Harriet b. 1846 IN. In 1870 Federal census John and Harriet are living alone in Linn Co., IA. (CL-425)

John's exact birth date is in question. According to his death record, he died in in 1874 at the age of 78.3 years. This would give him a birth date of abt. 1796. According to the 1830 census though, he would have been born in 1800 at the earliest. Since that is an earlier record, I suspect it could be more accurate, but further census records need checked for his age to determine reliability. If he was born in 1796, it's more likely that he was born in North Carolina as very few settlers were living in Gallia Co., (then Washington Co.), Ohio in 1796.

John married Harriet SOULE on 3 Feb 1828 in , Gallia, OH, USA. Harriet was born about 1805 in , , NY, USA; died in 1872 in Vinton, Benton, IA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Zaus's name is spelled many different ways in the records: Isaias, Esaes, and Isaac. He lived in Gallia Co., OH in the 1820s, Tippacanoe Co, IN in 1830 as Issac, 1840 in Boone Co., IN as Z. Tharp. He took guardianship of a California Baxter in Nov. of 1840 in Boone Co., Indiana. He is listed as Esaes (Enos?) Tharp in the 1850 Howard Co., IN census. (CL-435) He moved to Grundy Co., MO by the 1860 census. He had purchased land in Spickardville, MO and lived with his son, Dennis by that time. He had nine children who lived and 2 more that died as babies. He was a farmer by trade. (CL-425, 434, 510E, 547)

Zaus married Rachel UNKNOWN before 1830 in , Miami, OH, USA. Rachel was born about 1811 in , , OH, USA; died on 4 Dec 1886 in North Evans Cemetery, Grundy, MO. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Nancy Tharp was living and marrying in Gallia Co., Ohio about the same time as my ancestor Mary Polly Tharp. It is not known how they are related at this point, though I definitely suspect a relationship. Our current theory is that she is the daughter of a James Tharp that shows up in Indiana in the 1830s or is the sister to Mary and youngest daughter of Joseph and (Elcy) Tharp. If the second is true, then Nancy and her husband would be first cousins. (CL-489) It should be noted that the Tharps and Calhouns both came from Iredell Co., NC to Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-489)

Nancy married Zadock CALHOON on 25 Jan 1827 in , Gallia, OH, USA. Zadock (son of Robert CALHOON and Armeila THARP) was born on 25 Aug 1802 in , Iredell, NC, USA; died on 17 Jul 1847 in , Louisa, IA, USA; was buried in Columbus Junction, Louisa County, Iowa, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It is not known with certainty that James is a son of Joseph and Elsy Tharp. He is in the 1820 census for Gallia Co, OH where this family lived for several years before moving to Indiana. Dana Norton conjectures that he may be the husband of Jane Tharpe found in Boone Co., IN from 1840-1860. She died in 1864 and listed the following children in her will: William Joseph, Sarah, Elcy, Elizabeth and Mahala. (CL-425, 432)

Notes:

I have a cousin who is a DNA match to me who descends through this Elizabeth. She is listed as the daughter of James Jr. instead of this John in her tree. However, the daughter Elizabeth is already accounted for in James' tree. She would not be the likely daughter of Samuel because he was still living when her bondsman wasn't even a brother when she married James Crutchfield in 1824.

It was situate on the north half of the northeast quarter of section two in Twp. 6, Range 16 of Gallia Co. These were lands 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)

Notes:

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 156.88 acres 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.

Notes:

Milton is in the Ohio Grave Registrations with his birth and death dates as given. His upright gravestone was in row 26, grave 39. He enlisted in the Civil War on Aug. 15, 1861 and was discharged on Nov. 24, 1862. He was a private in the Army, Co. B, 36th regiment, O.V.I. (CL-177) The 1890 census gives slightly different information on his service. They transcribed his name as Matton K. Glenn. It agrees accept for the dates, listing his enlistment as Aug. 12, 1851 and his discharge as Nov. 28, 1862. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his right hand. His address was listed as Vinton, Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-363) Milton purchased 10 acres of land from his father on Aug. 13, 1864 in Gallia Co. Deed records.

Notes:

It is conjecture on my part that this is the son of James and Polly Glenn. Joseph is definitely a grandson of William and Ann Curry Glenn, by placement of his gravestone in the tight circle behind William and Ann Curry's grave. He could, therefore, be a child of any of William and Ann Curry Glenn's sons.

Notes:

It is theory on my part that this son listed in the 1840 census is the Joseph Carllile Glenn who died on Apr 2, 1841 aged 1 year (plus). The rest of the date is unreadable. I believe this to be true because the brother who had died a couple years before he was born to this same family was named Joseph James Carllile Glenn. It has been my experience that when a young child dies, their name is often given to a younger sibling born after their death. Joseph Carlisle Glenn who is buried near his grandparents, William and Ann Curry Glenn, would fit with info in the 1840 census where James's son was listed as having been born between 1835 and 1840. He had probably died before the 1850 census as he is not listed living with his parents at that time. Other possibilities are that Glenn's name was Gilbert. He lived in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in 1860, was age 32, b. in Ohio and his wife was Elizabeth, age 25. (CL-158) If so, he could be the Gilbert W. Glenn who was in the 1890 census. He had been a Private in the Civil War, Co. B, 60th Regiment of the Ohio Infantry. He enlisted on Aug. 7, 1862 and was discharged Nov. 10, 1862. He re-enlisted on Sept. 14, 1864 and was discharged June 17, 1865 in Co. D, 179th Regiment of the Ohio infantry. His address was Vinton, Morgan Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-363) An alternate possibility for this Glenn is Meredith, age 22 in 1860, wife's name Janet age 20. (CL-158) There is a George W. Glenn in the 1890 census who was a Private in the Civil War. He enlisted on Sept. 1864 and was Discharge on June 23, 1865 with Disease of lungs and eyes. He was in Co. D, 179th Reg. His address was listed as Tycoon, Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-363) There is also a P. Glenn who was married to Sarah Ann. Sarah Ann died at age 23 on Nov. 11, 1862 in Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-382)
