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):

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!”

A. ROSS GLOVER’S 1917 DIARY

Highlights from the handwritten in pencil diary of A. Ross Glover.
He was a 24 yr old farmer with his 22 yr old wife Daphne (who he
refers to as Daff) and daughters 3 yr old Onnolee and 2 yr old
Dorothy.

His address was listed as Whitney Crossings, Town of Grove,
Allegany Co., NY. Whitney Crossings was where the Whitney families
lived and where the highway crossed the railroad. There was a post
office there. Mail came by train and they would throw the bag of
mail off as the train went by, and pick up mail using a catcher arm
on the side of the mail car which would grab the mail bag off a
post. The area is now called Garwoods.

He listed his shoe size as 7 and shirt size as 15 ½.

Ross at this time had no car or tractor. For transportation, he
used a horse and buggy or cutter (sleigh). Or at times got a ride
from his friends who had cars. To farm the land, he used a team of
horses. Ross did not have his own farmland; he farmed the land of
his 61 yr old father, Robert F. Glover (the namesake of Robert H.
Glover), who lived two households away, and that of neighbors.
-------------------------

Mon, Jan 1: Snow’d some, drawed a bale of buzzwood down the to
wood shed and drawed one load out of the woods. Churned butter and
went over home at night, Agnes, Daff, the kids and I (Agnes Gelser
–later Sullivan---,the 18 yr old sister of Daphne)

Sat, Jan 6: Buzzed wood today. George Ames stayed to supper and
we played pitch after supper awhile and then I shaved him.

Sun, Jan 7: Cold and windy. Forrest and Martha and Theresa Gelser
come over with a cutter and drove my buggy back with them. Harry
Karns come up and got Agnes and took her home. (a cutter was a
small sleigh for 2-3 people pulled by a single horse with runners
to pull thru the snow; Harry Karns a good friend who was once of
