Jacob Glover, said to be the son of the first wife of Francis Glover, was the first one of the family to come to this district. He is listed with the forty-two families who arrived at the Niagara frontier from New Jersey in 1787. (Niagara Historical Society - No. 39, page 128). It states - 'In that season Jacob Glover, with one Woman, 1 son, two daughters, 2 cows and two horses. Jacob received a Crown grant in Grimsby Township - Lot 14, Concs. I and II.
Like other pioneers of the district he suffered during the 'Hungry Years' and his name is on the list of petitioners humbly praying that the provisions loanded during the years of famine be paid for in the same kind as borrowed or in flour, wheat or other produce.'
