Henry Glover (NH) 1779Henry GloverGlover died (in service) at Fishkill
in November 1779. “There were at least two – perhaps three – soldiers by this
name, and their records are conflicting. It is certain a Henry Glover lived
in Hillsborough at the breaking out of the war, and he served in Capt. John
Moore’s Company, Stark’s regiment, at Bunker Hill as drummer. He was killed
in this battle. A soldier by this name was credited to New Boston at a later
date. Henry Glover’s name does not appear in the Hillsborough records after
1776, so he was probably the one killed at Bunker Hill. A Henry Glover from
this vicinity died (in service) at Fishkill, N.Y. in November, 1779.”
