One was written by Aunt Mary Glover Nixon in April 1978 and put into a local time capsule. It covers her memories of early Newnan. This is a must-read. A second story was a fiction/non-fiction story written by cousin Susan Glover Logan, titled Aunt Penny. This was a play on names as it was about her memories as a child visiting Aunt Jenny (Virginia Glover Cook Graham) Click here to go to the stories page. Glovers of Marengo County I have been searching for a copy of this definitive work of research for many years.. finally found it and was able to scan into pdf format. This traces the Allen Glover and associated families. Do you ever get the feeling that you might be a bit Irish? I found some ancestors who were landed gentry - Mount Glover in County Cork Ireland. |
