Jennie (Dye) McGlennan v William McGlennan – Williams Co, OH Civil and Criminal Court (Roll 33 case number 563- 1879)
When I began researching the early divorces of Williams County, OH I thought I had them all accounted for from 1830-1886 but apparently I missed this one. I stumbled upon it just recently while looking at old newspapers. The only information supplied in the Bryan Democrat, 6 Mar 1879 was an announcement of the divorce decreed by the Common Pleas Court. Jennie McGlennan was awarded alimony of $600.
So then I went back to the Civil and Criminal Court records and found the case number. This research also had to take into account the variety of spellings of McGlennan/McGlenan/McGlennen/McGlenen, etc.
William H McGlennen (1842 Galion, OH - 17 Feb 1887); apparently parts of Galion, OH are in Crawford, Morrow, and Richland Cos, OH
William McGlenen married Jane L Dye on 24 Nov 1861 in Lenawee Co, MI.
Jane/Jennie L Dye (12 Oct 1845, Fulton Co, OH - 19 Feb 1911 Vestaburg, Richland Twp, Montcalm Co, MI; burial in Fountain Grove Cem, Bryan, Pulaski Twp, Williams Co, OH) dau of William Dye Jr and Martha Reynolds; pos obit as Jennie Savory, 23 Feb 1911 and 2 Mar 1911, Bryan Press, however I did find her obit in
Bryan Democrat, 3 Mar 1911 p1 as follows:
Jennie Dye McGlennen was born in Fulton Co, OH 12 Oct 1845 and died at the home of her sister at Vestaburg, (Montcalm Co) MI, 19 Feb 1911 @65Y 4M 7D. She was married to William H McGlenen in 1862 and has three living children – Clyde E of Bryan, W Eugene of Kokomo, IN, and Mrs Daisy Barnheiser of Toledo, OH. Her husband died on 17 Feb 1887 and in 1902 she was again married to William Savory of Toledo who died in Sept 1908. She with her children resided in Bryan for about 25 years but for sometime she has been a resident of Toledo. She was a member of the ME Church.
Note – William is not found in the death records for this county nor does he have any probate for 1887; however there is a court action against him in 1873 (see below)
Note – There was no mention of a divorce between this couple.
Note – Jennie is buried as Jennie Savory in Fountain Grove Cem next to her son Clyde E and his wife Alverda. Several online sources have an incorrect death date for Clyde.
