GLEN, GLENN, SIMMONS -
I am attempting to find information on my father's family. My grandfather was Edward A. Glenn, b. 1887 in Ohio, d. 1939 in Michigan. His father (my great grandfather) was G. Robert Glenn (spelled Glen in some documents). I have a 1910 census from Benton Township, Ohio that says that Edward's parents (G. Robert Glenn and Maggie (Baker?) Simmons) were born in Virginia. I have no knowledge of which county or exactly when. I'm guessing that since Edward Glenn was born in 1887 that his parents could have been born somewhere between 1850 and 1867. Would love to be able to trace the Glenns back to Ireland, but will be grateful for anything that matches up right now!

I find him on the 1788 census with 546-1/2 acres and listed as Captain Samuel Richardson and on the 1794 Goochland Co census I find him with 546-1/2 acres.
