Milton P. Glover

Milton is the son of John Glover and Sarah
Paschal. After the death of his father the family was divided over property that
had been given to John P. Glover prior to the death of "Ole John". In the
will of "Ole John" some of his children were left $150.00 and others received a
share of the estate. This was because those that received the $150.00 had been given
what Old John considered as their inheritance prior to his death. Henry Glover, B.
J. Williamson, Milton P. Glover and James Price wanted the property returned to be sold
and divided among those that were to be given a share of the estate. From documents
it appears that Milton caused problems with those that did not agree that the property
given to his brother John P. Glover was a part of the estate. Being that all the
charges he brought against them were dismissed by the Judges and one even saying "why
is this man in jail". It appears that there was an all out attack. John P. Glover had land and money, my grandfather Eli Glover
1881-1979 said "John P was a richer man than the others and they felt he did not need
the money and they did".
Milton was murdered and charges were placed against William E. Glover and Martin
Johnson. William E. Glover was the son of John P. Glover. Martin Johnson was
listed as owing the estate a paltry sum of money. It appears that Milton had trouble
with many that owed money to the estate and went about collecting what he felt belonged to
the estate. Both men were arrested and William E. Glover
left Crawford and went to Barbour County, Al. where his Uncle Thomas W. Glover
lived. He remained in Barbour and Dale county for over 45 years and lived there
until he died. He was never brought to trial and it is believed that after the
arrest that he was able to prove his innocence. He is found on the census reports in
Dale County, Al. from 1850 on. His wife Mary remained close to John P. Glover the
father of the accused. John P. Glover signed a bond for her so she could administer
the estate of Milton.
