Biography

Joel Clark Glover was born to Joel Glover and Elizabeth Shannon in Coshocton County, Ohio, in 1846, one of at least fifteen children.

The following note appears on FindAGrave and details his death in the Army at age 17 y 18m 22d: "JOEL CLARK GLOVER, brother of the above (William B.), was born Dec. 6, 1846; and, having enlisted in the army, died in Sept., 1864, at Wilson's Landing, near Richmond, Virginia. Many noble men like these fell, as they, during the late war of the rebellion, but few families have such a noticeable record as that of which they were members. At one time no less than six sons were in the military service, and two others were represented by substitutes.^[1]
