Hello, Alan, I think my Peter Glenday came either from Forfar or from the Blairgowrie or Rattray in Perthshire. Actually, all of these places are pretty close together. What I know so far is on my web site. I am not doing much genealogy at the moment. Most of what I am doing is family history, precisely publishing the plethora of information left by my mother's aunts (the Collectors). There is a Glenday mail list, although it not particularly active, but it would be a good place to post questions. If you have not already joined, send an email to mailto:GLENDAY-L-request@rootsweb.com and put the single word "subscribe" (no quotes) as the entire body of the message. There are also ANGUS and PERTHSHIRE lists. You may already know about these. If so, please forgive me. The book: A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri, Bryan and Rose, 1876, also has the following: GLENDY.-- John and William Glendy, of Scotland, came to America at an early date, and in 1796 John was a Presbyterian minister in the city of Philadelphia. William was married twice, his second wife being Anna Robinson, of Augusta county, Va. They had -- John, David, Samuel, Thomas, William, Jr., Robert, and Mary. Samuel married Mary Shields, and settled in Callaway county, Mo., in 1829. Thomas married Ellen Shields, and settled in that county the same year. Samuel is a politician, and very few persons can out-talk him.
