    3. You can see the location of Glebe, WV (Hampshire Co.) on the U.S. Geological Survey's map site at http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html. Just fill in the Feature Name of Glebe, the state and county. It will give you two results: what would have been the populated place and the post office (both historical, meaning no longer there, but probably some houses there still). At the bottom of each box, click on "Show Feature Details and Location" which will take you to a map. Scroll down and you can zoom in until you get the enlargement which suits your needs. I compared their map to a mapping software program I have which shows back roads, etc. Glebe would be on County Rt. 8. "As the crow flies," about 1 1/2 miles to the south is the southern border of Hampshire Co., about 1 3/4 miles to the west are the South Branch Potomac River and railroad tracks, and about 3-4 miles to the east is the Nathaniel Mtn. Wildlife Management Area. The area is so remote that I'm sure Glebe was no more than a small settlement.
