In searching all of Gertrude Thrift's Abstracts for the Glen/Glenn family of Ireland and all the records could find from Ireland as well as all the records found on this side of the ocean for Ireland or elsewhere, I found only one will that had the name Thomas Glenn in it..That was the will of John Glenn of Moneygobbin of County Antrim, North Ireland. Time timing is right and it is augmented by the work of Thomas Allen Glenn (1864-1948) Philadelphia Pennsylvania, genealogist-"Glen Manuscripts."

He says John wf Isabel who died 1742 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania was the son of Thomas Glen wf Margaret Caldwell widow. Therefore since he stated in one of his works he saw the actual wills from Ireland then I am followings his evaluation.

GENERATION ONE JOHN GLENN of Moneygobbin died 1698. His will names the following children: Thrift Abstract of the will is enclosed. i. JOHN GLENN ii. ANNA GLENN. iii. JAMES GLENN. iv. WILLIAM GLENN. v. THOMAS GLENN was born about 1660 in North Ireland. He died after 1686 in Londonderry IR. He married MARGARET CALDWELL on 28 Jul 1683 in Londonderry IR. (Thomas Allen Glenn says he is the father of John Glenn wf Isabel who died in Lancaster County Pennsylvania 1742. Therefore if that is so he is also the father of Robert and James Glenn who were on the deeds in Cecil Co MD and who then lived in Pennsylvania) Need to do more research in Ireland to prove whether this is correct or if possibly Robert, John and James Glenn are sons of John Glenn of Moneygobbin.) vi. ROBERT GLENN. vii. JOSEPH GLENN

.GLEN MANUSCRIPTS author Thomas Allen Glenn which gives Thomas Glen and Margaret Caldwell as parents of John wf Isabel brother of James and Robert. I obtained a Marriage License and Bond of Thomas Glen and Margaret Caldwell widow 28 Jul 1683 Aghanloo, Londonderry Ireland -source the PRO of Ireland. After this marriage I was unable to find much more about Thomas Glen especially no estate file. I therefore theorize that he and his wife perhaps came to America at some point.. as we know his three sons did.

Some claims that our Robert is the son of the man from Ayr Scotland have been disproved. That man was in jail for throwing stones at the English soldiers at the point our Robert Glen was already in PA/MD on the land deeds for six years with two brothers, John and James.
