From "The Stories and History of the Glover Families from Hull, Yorkshire Co., England to Allegany Co., NY, to Livingston CO., NY"
by Harold Ross Glover and Robert Harold Glover
Introduction: William Glover (June 22, 1823 - Mar 27, 1891) migrated from Hull, Yorkshire Co., England, arriving in New York City Aug 12, 1851. He settled in Doty's Corners (where he is
buried in the Cemetery with his wife) and then Burns, where he married Ann Nichols
Kuder (Apr 17, 1826-May 24, 1896). They had six children: Rebecca Ann, John, Robert Fremont (the father of A. Ross Glover, grandfather of H. Ross Glover, great grandfather of Robert H.
Glover, and the longtime sextant of the Canaseraga Cemetery), Richard, Albert Dell,
and James Lee.
Just six weeks before the birth of James Lee's first child, William Glover died, thus he missed out on the 18 grandchildren produced by his youngest child.
JAMES LEE GLOVER FAMILY
The information in the James Lee Glover section is mostly from the research of H. Ross Glover (1) and Robert H. Glover. It includes key information from the trunk of Daphne Gelser Glover
(1, wife of A. Ross, mother of H. Ross); family bible of Elizabeth Wright Glover (17, photocopy sent by Doris Glover Young (Glenn’s daughter) to Winnie Glover Coombs to H. Ross Glover,
which appears to be by Elizabeth in her handwriting); research by Mark Edward Glover (Harry’s son) and Eleanor Glover Bachrach (Harry’s granddaughter) for the Church of Latter-Day Saints
(5); James Lee Glover family reunion notes of Winnie Glover Coombs (18). Key contributions were also made by Nancy Amidon Glover (4), Roy’s daughter-in-law, wife of Larry); Jean Glover
Gaiss (Glenn’s daughter) and more.
JAMES LEE GLOVER (1868-1933), FATHER OF 18 CHILDREN; son of William Glover and Ann Nichols Kuder Glover; brother of Robert Fremont Glover; husband of ELLA WEBB GLOVER (1871-1899); husband
of ELLEN ELIZABETH WRIGHT (1882-1963)
THIRD GENERATION
James Lee Glover was born Jan 29, 1868 in Rogersville (South Dansville), Steuben Co., NY (17). He died on Nov 4, 1933, at his home in Burns, Allegany Co., NY. (obit). He was a farmer; we
viewed the location of his farmhouse, often visited as a child by H. Ross Glover, from up the hill at the Old Burns Cemetery on Bull Road. The Glover farm was on Tilden Hill Road. The
house, no longer standing, had a big porch where family would sit to socialize.
James Lee was buried at the Arkport, NY Cemetery on Nov 7, 1933. His second wife Elizabeth was later buried with him. Their tombstone as photographed by H. Ross Glover in 2006 reads:
GLOVER
JAMES L.
1868-1933
ELIZABETH E. His Wife
1882-1963
James Lee married first wife Ella A. Webb on May 28, 1889. (5) She was born in prob. Burns, NY on Dec 12, 1871 (1). She died Dec 26, 1899 in prob Burns, NY (5, 17). They had three
children:
Clara May Glover Wallace (b May 15, 1891, d Apr 20, 1958; bur Hornell Rural Cemetery)
Frances Julia Glover Michael (b Nov 1, 1892; d April 1967; bur Castile, NY)
Josephine A. Glover (b Oct 26, 1894; d July 5, 1895; bur. prob Old Burns, NY Cemetery) (1)
James Lee married second Ellen Elizabeth (Lizzie) Wright Apr 23, 1900 (17). She was 17 yrs old and James was age 32 when they married 4 months after the death of Ella. Thus Lizzie, at 17,
became the step-mother of 9 yr old Clara and 7 yr old Frances.
She went by Elizabeth or Lizzie, not Ellen. She is listed in some Census as Ellen, others as Elizabeth. Her tombstone reads “'Elizabeth E”. She was born Oct 11, 1882 in Ossian, NY (17).
She died Mar 22, 1963 (17) in Friendship, Allegany Co., NY and was buried at the Arkport Cemetery on Mar 25, 1963 (5).
James Lee and Elizabeth had 15 chldren, all born in Burns, NY, making him the father of 18 kids!!. Their 15 children (per Elizabeth Glover family bible and Winnie Combs Glover family
reunion notes):

Timeline for James Lee Glover

1880—12 yrs old living on the farm inn Burns, NY with parents and 4 brothers.
1891---Living in South Dansville, NY as a laborer

1910—Farmer in Burns, NY with wife Elizabeth and children. Listed in Census as L. James Glover.
1920—Burns, NY with wife and 10 children.
JAMES LEE GLOVER AND ELLA WEBB GLOVER
James Lee married first wife Ella A. Webb May 28, 1889 (5). She was born in prob. Burns, NY on Dec 12, 1871 (1). She died Dec 26, 1899 in prob Burns, NY (5, 17). Records show that her
mother was buried in the Old Burns Cemetery in 1880, thus it is most likely that Ella was buried there as she died 34 years before James Lee, who was buried with his second wife at the
Arkport, NY Cemetery.
Ella’s father was Nathaniel Webb (b abt 1831, NY per 1880 Census). Her mother was Julia Webb (May 13, 1848-May 21, 1880, per tombstone transcription). Their children per 1870/1880
Census: Charles (abt 1866), Ezra (abt 1869), Ella A. (1871), Homer (abt 1873), Clara M. (1878).
Ella’s sister, Clara M. Webb, was b Nov 24, 1878; d May 12, 1880.
Transcription Old Burns/Bull Road Cemetery (19):
Julia Webb: Wife of Nathanial S. Webb. Died May 21, 1880. Age 32 Years and 8 Days
Clara M. Webb: Daughter of Nathanial and Julia Webb. Died May 12, 1880 Age 1 Yr 5 Mo 18 Days
Note: We have visited the Old Burns Cemetery. At some point the town took over maintenance and an employee tossed all the fallen stones into a big pile and burned the grass off rather than
mow around things. Thus, many tombstones are missing---most likely including those of Ella Webb, her father, and her infant child.
Julia died just 9 days after daughter Clara, indicating it was likely that they both died of the same illness. Ella was thus left motherless at the age of 9, and named her first child
Clara
after her sister who died young.
Nathaniel’s parents, Ella’s grandparents, per 1850 Census, were Stephen (b abt 1807) and Lydia M. Webb (b abt 1808, NY). Their children included: Grace A. (abt 1829), Nathaniel (abt 1831),
Jesse (abt 1834), Sanford O. (abt 1841) and perhaps others.
Timeline:
1850—Birdsall, Allegany Co., NY. Lydia Webb b abt 1808 + Stephen Webb b abt 1807 + children:
Grace A. Webb 21 (b abt 1829)
Nathaniel Webb 17 (b abt 1832)
Jesse Webb 16 (b abt 1834)
Sanford Webb 9 (b abt 1841)
1860—Lydia M. Webb 52, lived in Pittsford, Monroe Co., NY with head of household Jesse Webb, a farmer, b abt 1833. Also in household:
Crenus abt 1828 farmer
Isabell abt 1828 b PA
Nathaniel abt 1832 farmer
Sanford O. abt 1841
Adrian B. abt 1851
Frank S. abt 1858
Nathaniel and Sanford the sons of Stephen and Lydia per 1850 Census, but the others likely are relatives of some nature.
1870—Burns, NY. Lydia Webb (62) lived next to Nathaniel Webb and family:
Nathaniel Webb 37—farmer
Julia 28
Charles 4
Ezra 1
1880 --- Burns, NY next to Reuben and Matilda Gates and near William Glover and son James Lee
Nathaniel Webb b abt 1831 widowed. Farmer b NY, parents b NY
Charles Webb b abt 1866
Ella Webb b abt 1871
Homer Webb b abt 1873
Mother Lydia Webb b abt 1808 widowed
GLOVER BOYS FIND WIVES ON NEARBY FARMS
Living on the farm in 1880 adjacent to that of Nathaniel Webb was Reuben and Matilda Gates---the parents of Mary Gates who in 1877 married Robert F. Glover, the brother of James Lee.
Living 4 farms away from the Webb’s was William and Ann Glover, parents of Robert F. and James Lee. Ella was age 9 and James Lee age 12 in 1880. They married 9 years later.
JAMES LEE GLOVER AND ELIZABETH WRIGHT GLOVER - Lizzie was born Oct 11, 1882 in Ossian, NY (17). She died Mar 22, 1963 (17) in Friendship, Allegany Co., NY and was buried at the Arkport
Cemetery on Mar 25, 1963 (5). It is believed that she lived at the home of her daughter Llllian Glover Schneider at the time of her death. When her husband, James Lee, died Nov 4, 1933 at
home in Burns, NY, they had 9 children still living at home: Marion, Elizabeth,
Neva, Winifred, Howard, James, Jr, Floyd, Harry, and Harding.
Elizabeth’s Family Bible - A photocopy of Elizabeth Wright Glover’s handwritten, hard to
read “Family of James L. Glover” from her family bible was submitted to H. Ross Glover by Jean Glover Gaiss. Also submitted were notes from it by Winnie Glover Coombs who used the
information as secretary of the James Lee Glover Family Reunion. Included are key dates of birth and death, spouses and children and grandchilden of James Lee and Elizabeth, as well as for
her parents and siblings.
Elizabeth’s Family Quilt - Larry and Nancy Glover own a quilt made by Elizabeth Wright Glover
for her son Roy, who was ill at the time. On it are the names and dates of birth of James Lee Glover, Elizabeth and James Lee’s children. Bob and H. Ross Glover viewed the quilt in Oct
2006 at their house.
**H. Ross Glover remembers: “Aunt Lizzie was very outgoing. And busy! She was always baking, and washing etc. every minute. Of course with all those kids……Each one of them had a job to do
around the house or they wouldn’t have made out too well.
Lizzie was busy with the Church and I think the Grange and other things. Her and Mom were good friends.
I’d go there all the time as I paled around a lot with Harry and Harding as they were in the same grade with me along with Winnie.
Stayed the weekend often.
What stands out in my mind is the LONG table in the dining room. Of course with all those kids it had to be long.”
*Marge Glover Christie remembers: - “I stayed up there a lot and we had some good times rocking on the front porch and singing “The Old Rugged Cross” and such hymns. I can’t remember who
played the organ but I think it was Neva.”
**Jana Glover Scheithauer remembers: - “When Harold Glover was in service and was going overseas, Mom and Dad went to see him in Alabama I think it was and they got Aunt
Lizzie to come and stay with Ronnie, Audrey and I. Well I guess Aunt Lizzie was used to being out in the country where it was quiet. Anyway I slept downstairs in Mom and Dads bedroom with
her, and she was up and down all night looking out the window if someone went by wondering who that was!!”
**Ellie Glover Capadonia remembers: - “I think "Aunt Lizzie" is a kind of endearing name. Grandma Glover was a most kind, dear person and I have such great memories of being welcomed and
staying at her house, walking over to Mehlebachers with her little metal milk container to get fresh milk, and sitting on her porch in the evening, hearing stories and watching the
fireflies. No electric or running water, so peaceful. I wish that I could remember the stories she told. Her sugar cookies, made on her wood stove, were delicious and always had a raisin
in the middle. Although she had dozens of grandchildren, I always felt special there and probably all the other grandchildren did also. The Glover family reunion was the highlight of our
summer. What a wonderful woman Grandma was, just writing about her makes me miss her and wish she were still with us. The stories she could tell!”

H. Ross Glover remembers:
“Winnie was the smart one. She was in the
same grade in school in Canaseraga with me and her brothers Harry and
Harding. She would help us with our homework.”
Winnie lived in Canaseraga, NY most of her life. She lived there in
1963 when her mother died. In 1994 she lived
on River Street—the
same street on which H. Ross Glover was born in the home of his
father, A. Ross Glover, who was the nephew of Winnie’s father, James
Lee Glover. Then later she lived in an apartment in a bright yellow
house on Main Street. Winnie’s brother Harry used to
visit each year
and stayed with Winnie.
Winnie was a key contributor back in the early 1990s when H. Ross
Glover started the challenging task of documenting the history of
James Lee Glover and his 18 children and their families. Ross has in
his files several
handwritten notes from his former classmate
including this in 1994:
“Hi Ross and Corinne,
Just a note to say I’ve been trying to get the ones I’ve missed
together. They all promised me info, so far just Harry. I’ll keep
working on them. Filled in the sheets you
sent. I’m calling Doris
(daughter of Glenn), Shirley (daughter of Roy), and Regis (wife of
Harding) today to see if I can get more info.
Harry and Pat have been to Hawaii so haven’t heard from them lately.
You know Ross, you and Corinne are invited to the Glover Reunion
at
Jocko’s and Gayla’s. Would love to see you there. It’s not too far.
Hope to see you.
Winnie”
Winnie supplied Ross with a list of all of the children of James Lee
Glover and his two wives, with dates of birth and death, back in 1990
when he began the
Glover Family History. She noted:
“These are all the ones I know Ross. Mom had these in her book
(Bible). The only reason I had these is I have the Reunion Book
(Sec.& Treas) so copied all information that was there.”
Rita Coombs wrote H. Ross Glover in 2006 about the
Glover history:
“You are doing a great job, we are so enjoying the data and
information and take it all to share with Winnie. Thanks so much!”
Winnie now resides at the Alterra Clare Bridge of Perinton Memory
Care Facility in Pittsford, Monroe Co., NY. H. Ross Glover
visited
her there in Jan 2007 for her 83d birthday party.
