Of ‘Mr. Roger Owfield, citizen of London,’ by whom he ‘had three children, viz., Royer, Elizabeth, and Sarah. She died July 10, 1628.’ See Glover Memorials, p. 563.

D. at Aberdeen, and d. unm. about; 1668. The date of his graduation is assumed to be 1650 (rather than 1651 when his namesake graduated), because this best agrees with one of the items in Mr. Dunster's account:— ‘maintenance of the children after the death of their mother, viz, John Glover's liberal education, for diet, apparel and schooling, mostly at the college, for seven ears and two months, at 20l. per annum, 143.3.4.’ The mother (Mrs. Dunster) d. in Aug. 1643; seven years and two months would expire in Oct. 1650. The Christian name of Mr. Glover has appeared in various forms, such as Joseph, Jose, Josse, Jesse, ,Joss, and Joas; and antiquarians have doubted which was the true name. Proof has at last been presented by J. Hammond Trumbull, Ll. D., that his widow and Mr. Dunster wrote the name Josse; but that he himself wrote it Jose, three times in his last will he adds, ‘comparison of the forms Josse, andJoas.,with the autograph Jose, shows that the name was pronounced as a monosyllable, and that the first vowel was moderately long,.’ See New England Hist. and Gen.
