John Glover's Family

By Susan Hodson

John Glover (1767-1849) migrated to Van Diemens Land, now called Tasmania, arriving at the Tamar River upstream from Launceston, on his 64th birthday. He was accompanied by his wife and his firstborn son, John Richardson Glover, usually referred to as John Junior. Three of his sons, William, James and Henry, had settled outside Hobart, following their earlier arrival in July 1829.

 Of the four sons who migrated from England to Australia, only one, Henry, had known offspring. All Australian descendants of the colonial artist John Glover can be traced back to Henry, and his Australian born wife, Elizabeth Mary Glover nee Hayes.

Three of John Glover’s children remained in England. Thomas, Emma and Mary all had descendants.
