Subject: Two William Glovers in Edgefield From: Amelia O. Debusman Date: February 07, 2000 My sister and I have been studying the William Glover families of Edgefield SC. The extensive work by William Loyd Glover of Charleston that has been filmed and is available at Family History Centers has so many Williams that I am more confused than when I started. In the 1790 Census 3 William Glovers are listed in SC. Two of these are in Edgefield County. One has 1 white male 16+, 5 white males under 16, 4 white females and 12 slaves. The other has 1 white male 16+, 2 white males under 16, 2 white females and 1 slave. In the 1800 Census 5 William Glovers are listed in SC; three of these are in Edgefield County. First William 22101-4121l-0,13; second William 00001-00001-00; and third William 0000l-0000l-00. In the l8l0 Census there are 4 William Glovers in SC and 2 of these are in Edgefield County. First William 10201-121101,11 and second William 10110-20100,1 In the 1820 census that are 6 William Glovers in SC but none in Edgefield. Joseph Glover of Granville County NC gave consent for his son, William Glover to marry Martha G. Attwood on 14 March 1778. Martha's mother Elisabeth Attwood gave consent for her daughter to marry on the same day. Bond was given on 17 March 1778. In Joseph Glover's will dated 29 October 1784 William Glover was left 200 acres of land and one negro man named Dick and "the other part of my estate now in his possession". In Edgefield, one William Glover wrote his will 11 March 1801. He leaves his wife all the property I received with her when I was married to her. He names a daughter, Elizabeth, and sons, Zachariah, Darling, Richard, Ezekial and Allen. Lucy, a granddaughter, and Wiley, a grandson are mentioned. His estate was ordered to be appraised 13 April 1801. The total inventory was $380.87 1/2. On 6 October 1817, Eli Morgan applied to administer the estate of William Glover, deceased. The inventory was ordered 3 November 1817. The inventory totaled $11,800.50. No children were named as such but the larger amounts paid out of the estate went to David Glover, $69.80 + $123.00, Saml. Mitchell, $350.00, John Livingston $950.00, Archy Glover, $1350.00, Martha Glover, $3000.00, E. B. Holloway $1300.00, Musco Samuels, $1336.00, N. L. Formby, $1300.00, and Thomas O. Holloway, $788.00. I assume that David and Archy Glover were sons and that Martha Glover, who got the largest amount, was the widow. We have Bible records to show that John Livingston married Elizabeth Glover. Would E. B Holloway, Musco Samuels, and N. L. Formby also be sons-in-law? Would Samuel Mitchell and Thomas O. Holloway who got smaller amounts but also fairly large amounts, be sons-in-law? Some family histories show that the William Glover who died in 1801 was married to Martha Attwood. Same county, 2 William Glovers, both with a daughter Elizabeth, and both with a wife named Martha? Genealogy should not be this complicated for descendants. Can anyone help me untangle this relationship?
