Children

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Problem with the children. (If you mail me, I can send you the paper.)

  • Charles Glover: A Pioneer Resident of Washington, a paper by his grandson, states: "Jane Glover lived to the age of eighty-seven. Of their three children, a daughter, Matilda, the wife of Robert Harper Williamson, also lived to be eighty-seven, and another daughter, Mary Jane, wife of Abraham Ferree Shriver, lived to the age of ninety-four, dying of influenza in the war epidemic of 1918. The only son of Charles and Jane Glover was Richard Leonidas, who married Caroline Percy of North Carolina."
  • Becoming Jane states (on the authority of gravestones?): "Jane was widowed in 1827, and outlived all of her children too: her daughter Adeline died at 9 months; and sons William at 21, and Richard at 29." --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:36, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the article to reflect the discrepancy. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:29, 26 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

[T]he 1820 census records that they also owned two slaves - an 1820 document notes the manumission of a 41-year old female slave, Fanny

What is the significance of these slave-counts? Are they some kind of criminal points-system? If so, I think we should be told the ground-rules. Valetude (talk) 09:26, 17 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
