Do you show anything on the Glover family in the Confederate Veteran. Andrew J. Glover died in 1911 and was a veteran. Andrew Samuel Edmond John P. Nathan There were 6 boys and 3 girls in this Glover family. 5 served in the CSA. William E. Glover I don't know about. William was living in Dale County.The others withe the exception of John P. Glover, Jr. joined in Barbour, John in Georgia. All survived the war except Samuel. Samuel died in Columbus, Ms. Would someone check the CSA records for a William E. Glover living in Dale County. Could have joined from Henry or Barbor. He had family living in both counties.
