JOEL HENDERSON GLOVER was born
June 01, 1812 in Georgia, and died August 12, 1873 in Arkansas. He married (1)
ELIZABETH COOK August 21, 1832 in Huntsville, Madison, Alabama, daughter of
JOSIAH COOK and ELIZABETH ???. formerly of Elbert Co. GA and the grand-daughter
of Francis Cook (who died in Elbert County, GA in bet. 1804 - 1813). His will
was probated March 1, 1813. Josiah Cook's will was filed Nov. 12, 1833. In his
will he names his wife, Elizabeth, Joel Glover, Effie Cook who married Samuel
Howell, Pleasant Cook, Samuel Cook, Elijah Cook, Joel Cook, and Pamela Cook, an
infant. Josiah Cook voted for delegates to the Constitutional Convention in
Elbert Co. GA. along with Benjamin and James Glover. It is believed that there
was an association between the Glover's and Cook's before they came to Madison
County, AL. Joel married (2) DUBLY ANN DENTON about 1844. She was born 1825 in
Jennings, Indiana.
In 1838 Elizabeth Cook (mother-in-law)
deeded to Joel Glover land in Madison County, AL. In 1839, Elizabeth (wife) and
Joel Glover sold this land to James Carpenter and also sold another tract of
land to Jonathan Glover. About 1842, Joel and Elizabeth Cook Glover moved to
Lamar Co. TX. It is not known what happen to Elizabeth. But in the 1850 Census
Joel is married to Dubly Ann Denton. There are some indications that the Cook's
(brothers and sisters if Elizabeth) may have moved with them. Elijah Cook married
Elizabeth Henley Hamner July 12, 1832 in Madison County, AL. The couple had a
son named William Frances Cook born November 29, 1848 in MO. The families moved
about 1842 from Alabama, to Missouri/Arkansas, then to Texas. So Elizabeth Cook
Glover likely died while in route to Texas.
Joel Glover was kin to the rest of the
Glover's which settled in Madison County. However, it’s not known to which
parents he belongs with. It is very likely that he was a son of James Glover
(died in 1814-1815) in Madison County. He could be he male (15-20 years old)
which is living with Benjamin Glover in 1830. There was a George Washington
Glover (b. 1806 in GA), that lived in Madison County, and is found on the 1850
Carrol County, Tenn Census. George had a son named Joel Glover.
Of interest: On September 3, 1838, Samuel Renfrow and
Elizabeth Glover (born 1818 in Alabama) applied for a license for marriage. The
marriage was solemnized on September 6, 1838, by J. M. Glover (J.P.). The
census of 1840, page 141, shows Samuel and his new wife living in the southern
half of Madison County, Al. He apparently lived next door to a Joel Glover and
family, who is between 20 and 30 years of age. So this Elizabeth Glover could
be a sister to Joel Glover.

It is known that Joel and Elizabeth Cook
Glover had only one daughter, so the young males in the 1840 census are
believed to be children of Josiah and Elizabeth Cook. Note deed dated 28 Dec.
1837, from Elizabeth Cook to Joel Glover "for $40 and her maintenance
during her life."
