Genealogy and Family History Note:

Jacob Sanders Glen (1773-1859) was a prominent landowner and merchant of Montgomery County. His forebears, beginning with Alexander Glen of Scotia, acquired parcels of land from Saratoga County to Herkimer County. The principal properties of Jacob S. Glen were in the present-day towns of Mohawk (Herkimer County) and Glen (Montgomery County), the latter having been named for him during his lifetime. He settled in the village of Voorheesville, now Glen, where he operated a retail store and from which he managed his rental properties and shareholdings.

In his earlier years he had been involved in sending trade goods to Detroit, Michigan. He participated in several short-lived partnerships, often with relatives. Throughout his career he kept lawyers busy with suits against debtors. He was interested in various public works projects, served on the school board and held congregational offices. He also served for six years as an officer in a Schenectady militia company.

Glen was twice married, first to Catharine Visscher and then to Maria M. Van Rensselaer. He had no children, but raised two nieces, Sarah and Maria Horsford, after their father was declared mentally incompetent. Maria Horsford married John V.J. Edwards, who became proprietor of the Glen general store upon the death of Jacob Glen. The business remained in the family until about 1900, when J.S. (John Sanders) Glen Edwards (1847-1917), the son of Maria and John, sold his interest.

J.S. Glen Edwards was born on the old homestead, a mile south of the Village of Glen, Montgomery County, New York, on January 16, 1847. He studied civil engineering at the Dutchess County Academy at Poughkeepsie and was employed "for a considerable length of time" to survey lands for John H. Starin, including Starin's "pleasure resort" Glen Island. Later he was Starin's representative in Europe, where he went to look after property in Ireland and to purchase machinery for the Fultonville silk mill, which was still in operation at Glen's death in 1917.

Edwards eventually returned to Glen, where he became associated with his father and brother in a general store and, for one year, was the New York representative of the firm in the hay trade. From 1891 to 1898, Edwards was the sole owner of the store. In the latter year he began to devote his attention to the development of the telephone business and was a founder of the Glen Telephone Company.

In 1909 Edwards made a trip around the world, sending "numerous letters" recounting the journey to the local newspapers. (His travel journal is part of this collection.). Edwards was an attendant at the Reformed Church in Glen and, after he moved to Johnstown, of the Presbyterian Church in that community. He was a member of the Colonial Club and the Automobile Club of Fulton County, and was active in the Republican party. He also served "for many years" as postmaster at Glen and, for one term, as Montgomery County supervisor. He died in Albany, on March 18, 1917.

Scope and Content Note

The papers of Jacob Glen relate mainly to his business interests as landlord and as merchant. Land titles, contracts, bonds, account statements, receipts, and memoranda regarding the acquisition and conveyance of property comprise the bulk of the collection. It is evident that Glen attained much of his land through inheritance and family connections, especially from his father, John Sanders Glen, and from his wives, Catharine Visscher and Maria van Rensselaer. Included are the wills and estate inventories of Abraham Glen, Johannes Sanders, and John S. Glen, which are invaluable for genealogical, archaeological, and artifact documentation. Most of the family estate papers concern administrative matters, such as collection of rents or making improvements (building access roads and fences, and the erection of dwellings). It is also evident he acquired a considerable amount of land through court-ordered tax-redemption sales. Much of this land was administered the same as inherited property, often leased under terms of cash payments, or shareholder agreements, payments of farm produce rather than cash. These papers also contain documentation of law suits brought by Jacob Glen against individuals delinquent in making rent or mortgage payments. Judgments were usually rendered in his favor, often resulting in tenants being evicted and possibly losing personal property. For example, he confiscated a widow's furniture to satisfy her late husband's debts.

In addition to land documents, the collection contains financial records of the general store, including account journals and ledgers. The journals provide a chronological record of income receipts for retail goods sold, and disbursements for wholesale purchases and store maintenance. The day books contain the same information as the journals, but are organized under the name of the customers or the craftsmen and journeymen from whom he bought the merchandise wholesale. Entries in both sources indicate the kinds of goods bought or sold, the quantity, and the cost. There are also numerous bills and receipts regarding the cost of and payments for goods and services, including those for clothing and educating Jacob's nieces, Sarah and Maria Horsford; see, for example, Box 13, Folder 8.

Ancillary papers of Jacob Glen include correspondence, mostly with immediate family and relatives regarding personal and family matters, and documents on slaves and indentured servants. The collection also contains a considerable number of papers relating to the personal and business lives of John V.S. Edwards and his son, J.S. Glen Edwards, including records of the general store (1868-1900), which are similar in content to those kept by Jacob Glen. There is, however, for this time period, much more business correspondence with manufacturers and wholesalers regarding orders and purchases of retail goods. Invoices document the actual purchase of a product line and how much was purchased. Another significant series of papers documents John V.S. Edwards's operation of the Glen cheese factory (1865-1881) and include records of prices paid to local farmers for milk and the income received for selling cheese wholesale to grocers from Albany to Utica. Other papers of interest include legal documents and correspondence regarding probate proceedings of the estates of John Van Schaick and Daniel Olmstead; survey field notebooks (1860-1869), done by Glen Edwards under the auspices of John H. Starin; and family correspondence.
