We here in northeast Tarrant County have a Civil War veterans monument in place, and are posting biographies and photographs of the men at our Genweb site. If you can add to the following biographical sketch, or could share any photos you might have of this veteran, his wife, or his home, we’d be happy to have them. Thanks for taking the time to read our query. Mike Patterson, Colleyville, Texas.
Samuel Glover was a Union veteran of the Civil War. He was born in Hamilton County, Tennessee about 1846, and was eighteen years old when he enlisted at Harrison, Tennessee on August 26, 1864 for a term of one year.
He served as a private in Co. E, 5th Tennessee Infantry. He was mustered in at Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee. His original enlistment paper, complete with his signature, is still in his file at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. At the time of his enlistment, he had blue eyes, light hair, a fair complexion, and was 5’ 7” tall. He had his right ankle broken while in service. He was mustered out of the service at Nashville, Tennessee on July 12, 1865.
When the 1880 census was taken, he is shown with his wife, Jane, born about 1853 in Tennessee, in the area of Harrison, Hamilton County, Tennessee. They had no children at the time. He owned parts of the C. B. McDonald and J. H. Freeman surveys in 1890. Surviving records would suggest that he died in the period 1890-1892. His widow, Jennie Glover, began receiving a pension for his service in 1892.
Neither he nor his wife have a readable headstone standing in any northeast Tarrant County cemetery. There is a record of one Jennie V. Glover who died in Dallas County on Nov. 25, 1936; this record does not refer to the Jennie Glover who was the widow of Samuel Glover.
