Isaac Dawson Glenn

Isaac D. Glenn probably born in Tennessee [1850 census] on 8 Nov 1799 [Rochefort p.105], or possibly Kentucky on that date. He was reared in Kentucky, until his family moved to Crawford Co. & Orange Co., Indiana before 1819. He married in Crawford Co. in 1819, & lived in Orange Co., IN until 1828 when he moved to McLean county, Illinois. Two years after that he moved to Schuyler Co., Illinios, and finally in 1832 moved to Magnolia twp., Putnam Co., Illinois, where he lived the remainder of his life. In Magnolia, he was an active member and Deacon of the Baptist church. Politically he was a democrat, and later a "free soiler". The Monroe Larkins diary gives I.D. Glenn as the father of Elizabeth V. (Glenn) Larkins. Jackie Hagel says his middle name was "Dawson". 1820 Census: Isaac B.
