Andrew Young GLENN ^{1 2 3 4 5 6}

  General Notes:

Andrew is in the 1827 Gallia Co. Tax lists for chattel (not property) he owned in Huntington Twp. at that time. He purchased 41.15 acres of congressional lands in Gallia Co., on Sep 28, 1836. (CL-449) He is in in the Gallia Co. Deed records as having purchased Lot 15 & 16 in the town of Porter from his brothers, Samuel, Robert C. and Harvey Glenn on Nov. 22, 1838. The top of the deed is listed as between William Glenn's (Administrators?) to Andrew Y. Glenn. Their father William had died the previous year. The three sons selling the property in Gallia, were currently residents of Highland Co., (OH). By 1874, he is likely the A.Y. Glenn living in Twp. 7, R. 16, section 25 in the "Illustrated Atlas of Gallia Co., OH". His property was on Raccoon Creek in Huntington Twp. and bordered near property owned by W.W.Glenn and G.W. Glenn in Morgan Twp., Gallia Co., OH just to the east of him and W.C. Glenn and James Glenn literally to the direct west of him in section 26 of Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-PHO, 499)

In the Glenn family cemetery south of Vinton, Ohio where he and his wife are buried, a William C. Glenn, b. Jun 21, 1831 who died on Mar 1, 1907 married to an Elizabeth was his son. William C. was a Civil War veteran and was buried in the same grouping with Andrew Y. Glenn. Persons were definitely buried in family groupings in the Glenn Cemetery, and it is highly likely that William C. Glenn will turn out to be Andrew Y. Glenn's son from the layout of the cemetery. (CL-455)

Andrew Young Glenn and his wife lived to be a very old. He and his wife lived with their son, Robert Emmett Glenn by that time. He is remembered by his great grandson Roy Steele Glenn as having long white hair and beard to his shoulders sitting in an arm chair with bible in hand. He was apparently an operator on the Underground railroad like his brother, James. (CL-509) ⁸
