Hi Ann, My husband descends from a sister of Ellen Thompson Glode who married Arthur Burns. I am able to give you some information on the parents and siblings of Ellen Thompson if you are interested. I think the father of Robert John Glode might have been Peter Glode. Canton might be a place to do research, in terms of probate records. Ogdensburg would be a good place to search, also. The Ogdensburg library has lots of newspapers on microfilm. The library also has a number of books to look through.
