Note: Isaac Glenn was the defendant in People vs. Glenn, one of the earliest California criminal trials, significant for establishing the admissibility of a dying person's testimony as relayed by another after his death. Although Glenn lost his appeal to the California Supreme Court, the circumstances behind his "affray" with Francis and Robert Brubaker were such that some eleven hundred citizens, including some from the jury that convicted him, signed petitions asking that he be pardoned.
Ultimately, Glenn served only nine months of his two and one half year sentence at San Quentin. Having regained his freedom and his full rights of citizenship, however, Glenn would live just beyond his original term, meeting his end on Oct. 14, 1862 in a fatal accident, leaving his young 18 year old wife with two small children, Ida Elizabeth Glenn (our ancestor) and Alvar Glenn.
