John Glover, of Prescot, England, and of Dorchester and Boston in New England

(4) John Glover, eldest son of Thomas and Margery (Deane) Glover, was born at Rainhill Parish, Prescot, Lancaster County, England, Aug. 12, 1600, and died in Boston, in New England, "11, 12, 1653" in his 54th year.

By his father's will, he came into possession of large estates in England, situated in Rainhill, Eccleston, Knowlesby, and other places. Being the eldest son, he inherited a double portion by right of premogeniture, and was named as an executor, with his mother, to carry out the provisions of that will, although tat that time (1619) he was not of full age.

He appears to have attained age of manhood at Rainhill, living on his estates there, and was married to Anna, about 1625. He had three children born and baptized in that parish, the last in 1629. Previous to that, in 1628, his name appears on the records of the "London Company," organized in London in 1628. He was a member of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company of London, established there at a very early date, and was a captain of that company. He was also a member of a Lodge of Freemasons (obviously pre-Goose and Gridiron), and in fellowship with them before his emigration. He was sometimes called "the Worshipful Mr. Glover."

So much has been said and written of the London Company, formed in England in 1628, its origin, its objects, present and prospective - of the early planting of New England and the worthy gentlemen who joined themselves to that Company; its whole history has been so many times brought before the historic reader in the various accounts of New England that it may be deemed superfluous to attempt further notice of this matter, in these memorials. But as the following pages are designed to notice and give an account of one of the members of that company who came to New England and for the benefit of whose descendants this work has been chiefly prepared, it is hoped that a few dates and facts selected from some of the most faithful and reliable writers on that subject, and which will help to explain the condition, motives and social position of their honored ancestor (Mr. John Glover), will be generously allowed by them.

In May 1628, three years after his marriage, the name of John Glover appears on the records of the London Company, which was being organized at London for the purpose of emigrating to New England. "Allotments of land to the adventurers for New England, who intend to become planters there. The following is a list of the names of the Joint Stock Company, and their subscription to that stock: John Glover, 50 pounds.

(Text indicates that members of the company were non-conformist Puritans, they departed on the Mary and John from England on March 20, 1629/30 under Capt. Squeb, arriving on May 31, 1630, at Nantucket, where he put them ashore short of where the company had asked to be taken. John was part of a party that settled at Dorchester Neck, rather than continue on to Charlestown.)

"...brought over a great number of cattle, and all the provisions and implements, with men servents, to set up and cary on the tanning trade.. left the business to his son" 1636 Selectman for the town of Dorchester 1648 granted power to establish a Neposett ferry 1650 Representative to the General Court at boston 1636-52 when elevated to Assistant (to Governer)
