    1. [PACENTRE] Civil War Letters
    2. Good evening, listers, I intend to start a series of letters to the list that were written long ago. These were very kindly provided to me by Brenda Wisbey, a descendant of those involved, who obtained them through writing for a pension file which contained them. I'll try and set the story here for you a little bit. Robert and Jane (Steele) Glenn were married 11 October 1832 at Julian, Huston Twp., Centre Co., PA. They had three sons, John Wesley Glenn, Martin S. Glenn, and James Glenn; the last two were twins. The father, Robert, died in 1841 while the family were living in Clearfield County. His widow and children moved back to Centre County, settling near Millheim, where they were residing when the War broke out. Martin Glenn became a Private in Company A, 45th Pennsylvania Volunteers. His brother, James, also joined up. The following emails reflect correspondence that came out of that service. Enjoy.
