Several of William Taylor Glenn's brothers and sisters married Tucker sisters and brothers and their descendants in the last quarter of the 19th century initiated what became known as the Glenn-Tucker lawsuit, the Jarndyce vs Jarndyce of Indian Territory, a joke to those who were not denied their rights, not a joke to my great aunts as late as 1990. The differing fates of WTG (on the one hand) and of his brothers and sisters needs further study. However poor William Taylor Glenn's parents were, their situation did not prevent him from making a place for himself in the Republic of Texas and in the state of Texas.
