John Glenn born 1834 in Mayo, first settler in Calgary, Canada
Hi,
I know this is a long shot however I decided to post anyway.My GG Grandfather, John Glenn came from Ireland to NY in 1850 and after traveling through Texas etc ended up in what is now Calgary, Alberta, Canada - in fact he is the first European Settler for this area.He married Adelaide Belcourt in 1873, in Alberta.
I have no idea who his family in Ireland was and in fact the description of his home is Mayo County, Galway, Ireland, which is also confusing as they are two different counties.
Can anyone shed any light on this at all?I know it's a rather common name, but hopefully, maybe the first settler in Calgary will ring a bell somewhere?
Thanks!
Maureen
