Mrs. Glenn's mother Isabella Cummings, was born in Guilford County, N.C. May 17, 1781. She was married in that state and came to Tennessee with her husband, settling in a cane thicket near Beech Hill. Mrs. Glenn states that they had to keep log heaps burning to keep the wolves away. They were among the first settles of this county. Her father owned an immense tract of land in that section of the county. Seven children were born to that union, three boys and four girls. Only two are living, Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Polly Fuller. Mrs. Glenn's grandmother Cummings, nee Miss Isabella Blair, was born on board a ship which was bearing her father, mother and tree sisters from Ireland to North Carolina. Later they came from Tennessee, located near Belfast where they all died and were buried at Round Tree Cemetery. Mrs. Glenn's grandmother Lowry, was born in Pennsylvania and came to South Carolina and then to Tennessee. Mrs. Lowry was the mother of six children. Mrs. Jane Caldwell, Mrs. Mary Endsley, Mrs. Sallie Smiley and Mrs Isabella Cummings, David Lowry and Miss Elizabeth Lowry who never married. Mrs. Glenn professed religion at the Adams Campground, near Farmington, in September of 1836. She is one of the most respected old ladies of Marshall County. She is noted for her piety and honesty. You can always rely upon what ``Aunt Betsy´´ tells you. If she makes a mistake it is of the head and not of the heart.
