There have been several posts concerning the Glenn surname, so I'll add this one. I have a John D. Glenn who married Mary Wise in Belmont County in 1825. They subsequently moved to the community of Raccoon Island in Clay Township, Gallia County. Their children: Elizabeth Jane Glenn (m. name Tintel) b. 28 Feb. 1826 Thomas James Glenn b. 24 Aug. 1827 Mary Ann Glenn b. 1 Mar. 1829 Alexander Ewing Glenn b. 31 Mar. 1831 Samuel Hanson Glenn b. 30 Mar 1832 Isabel Glenn b. 28 Mar. 1835 Susan Spriggs Glenn b. 9 Sep 1836 Keziah Wise Glenn b. 26 May 1838 Ann Wanless Glenn b. 4 Aug 1840 Huldah Shaw Glenn b. 1 Nov 1844 Peggy Frances Elender Glenn b. 5 Nov. 1846 The information was from a book "Our Pioneer Country Doctor from the Journal of Jesse S. Spriggs." This book was extremely reliable on all other matters, but this family just dropped off the face of the earth. They are on the Belmont County census of 1830, but I can't find a single trace of them after that. I thought I would find them on the every name 1850 census by using the children's names, but not one hit. I know there was a Glenn family in Huntington Township, but still have no idea if they are connected with them. Is this family familiar to anyone?
