• Notes

  He supposedly served in the Indian Wars that occurred while he was yet a young man living in VA, from which state he came to TN in the early part of the 19th Century (Source: Obituary of his son-William Jackson.) He was soldier in the War of 1812, being in the battles of Norfolk and Richmond, VA ( Information provided by Mrs. K. Norton Gill, Rt. 2, Box 967, Hayti, MO 63851 from Mrs. Leister E. Presley, 1708 West Center Ave. Searcy, AR 72143, who copied it from " Goodspeed's Biographies- 1890-Saline County, AR) He was an overseer in NC for some 4 years, moving from there in 1823, settling in Lincoln Co., TN where he bought wild land and soon made himself a home and farm, keeping a country inn. (Some more research should be done on the time period of coming to Lincoln Co., TN-there are no records to record the death of his first wife, and marriage to his 2nd wife in Lincoln Co.,TN). He was a Tavern Keeper in 1826/27 in Lincoln Co., TN, (TN Vol II, p 204) "Thomas Glidewell is permitted to keep a tavern in this county at his own house for twelve months, who entered into bond and security, 2nd Jan 1826". Remaining there until 1857, he then moved to Cape Girardeau, MO, near Jackson. While in TN, he was Captain in the State Militia, and was know as Colonel Glidewell.  After coming to MO he engaged in farming for 2 years, dying in 1861.
