Notes:
• Husband of Nelly/Nancy, born 1782, North Carolina, died after 1850, Alabama. - Heritage
• One source (bio for their daughter Mahala Glover Baker) claims the family came to Madison County form Wilkes County, Georgia around 1814. (Other sources say Tennessee.) - Heritage
• He and his family were early pioneers of Madison County. "It would appear they came from TN. Their oldest daughter was born in GA. Probate records names children: Mahala born 1806; Harvey 1808 married Ann Branham/Branum, daughter of Tarleton and Agatha Witt Branum; Zidey married Daniel Wilkenson; Martha married George L. Maples; James W. married Nancy Ann Hamner; Evaline married Daniel Hamner. Mahala Glover married 1-11-1821 John W. Baker born 1801 KY died after 1880 Ala. son of Absolem and Ellender Baker. Absolem was a Tailor by profession. He was born 1760 NC died 1849 Ala. and had been early in Lincoln and Washington Counties KY. Census records indicate a large family, but other than John W., the only other two documented children were Sarah who married Jonathan Glover and Rebecca who married Joseph Ellett. It is possible that he also took part in the Creek Indian War 1813-1814. He and his family were in what became Madison County by 1820. There are several deeds between Absolem and Jonathan Glover for early Cherokee Lands." - Heritage

• "From census records and other documentation, one can trace the likely migration of William Glover from North Carolina, to Georgia, to Tennessee, and finally to Madison county, Alabama. In the 1850 census for Madison county, his wife Nellie is living with son Hyram and his family. As early as 1830, William is obtaining public land in Madison county. In the 1850 census for Madison county, William's and Nellie's daughter Mahala Glover Baker is identified as having been born in Georgia (1806). However, daughter Evelina Glover Hamner was born in Tennessee (1813). Census records for Franklin county, Tennessee, in 1820, identify a William Glover and wife with two (2) sons and three (3) daughters that approximates the number of sons and daughters they would have had in 1820. (Franklin county, Tennessee, is across the border from Madison county, Alabama.)" - Migration
• Some sources connect William Glover as a brother to both Benjamin and John (also listed here). - Editor's Note
