From Cemeteries of Brown County: "Robert A. Glenn (d. 1860) was an able lawyer and newspaper man. He also served as Circuit Clerk and in other public offices."
Note: The plaque for this person was made in error (likely confused with his nephew, Robert Albert Glenn, whose rank and muster in & out dates match the marker application information exactly), as he died in 1860 before the Civil War and so could not have been a Civil War veteran. There is some evidence he may have participated in the Black Hawk War of 1832. a
added by whitmergirl 47568334 His father was Andrew Glenn the som of ALexander of
His mother was Nancy Ferguson Glenn daughter of
Thomas Ferguson Glenn 1781/1864
who was the son of Andrew Glenn 1752/1820 and Nancy Fergusion of Muhlenberg Co. KY
His father was Henry Glenn 1787/1832
Henry was the son of Archibald W Glenn 1753/1826 and Sarah Jane Ferguson.

Andrew and Archibald moved to Kentucky, Andrew went west to Muhlenberg County, KY and Archibald seems to have stayed in eastern Kentucky, but his children ventured north to Ohio and then Indiana and Illinois.
