To Salem by 1639, Settled in Long Island, 1640's |
Immigration: By 1641 (NOT the "Charles Glower" in 1632 on the Lyon)
Residences: Gloucester/Salem, by 1641 > Southold, Long Island in the late 1640's or 1650's. "Cutchogue - Southold's First Colony" reports that Sgt Charles Glover was among the early settlers of Cutchogue, to the west of Southold, in 1667.
Spouses:
2 or 3?) Hester/Esther (Rolfe) Saunders, widow or more likely
divorcee, of John Saunders. (Torrey reports he returned to England.). Married
Feb 12, 1650 in either Mass (Salisbury or Salem/Gloucestor) or Southold,
Long Island. They had no children that I am aware of and she had no children
from her first husband that I am aware of. She was living in 1650.
Will / Estate: I have not obtained
any particulars about a will or his estate.
Immigration note: The entry above
included reference to a Charles "Glower" whose name appears on the 1632
manifest of the Lyon. Anderson, in The Great Migration Begins, believes
this is not the Charles Glover, our ancestor. He bases this on no other
record existing for this Charles until our Charles Glover was admitted
as an inhabitant of Salem on April 15, 1639. Anderson reasons that if he
were in New England during that period of time, his name would have appeared
in other records. Since it doesn't, he concludes that the Charles "Glower"
on the Lyon was a different man; and either died early or returned to England.
(TGMB, Anderson, p 776) Note, this date would also conflict with other
information that Glover was a veteran of Cromwell's army (See Cutchogue
- Southold's First Colony).

Answer?: Charles Glover appears to be Charles > Samuel > Charles,
who the Glover web page shows as marrying Elizabeth Paine. Who are Charles,
Jr. and Uriah? Was Charles old enough to have had sons be adults by 1731?
Or, brothers or cousins?
Another will with the same guys...

The Glover Genealogy Page is a page dedicated to Glover descendants anywhere, anytime. Some resources are there.
The passenger list of the Lyon, 1632, contains a Charles Glover (or Gower). As mentioned above, Robert Charles Anderson in "The Great Migration Begins" sees no link between that person and our guy.
Charles Glover is listed on this list of early Salem, Mass Residents. He lived in Salem until he moved to Long Island in the early 1640's.
