Isaac Glene/Glynn

Isaac Glynn was born on July 7, 1761, in Westford, Massachusetts, to parents John Glynn (33) and Thankful (nee Adams) Glynn (31). He died on Dec 30, 1835 in Springfield, Vermont. He is buried at Summer Hill Cemetery in Springfield. Family records say he fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

His mother, Thankful Adams, was the daughter of Samuel Adams, the brother of John Adams who provided civil service to the patriot cause during the Revolutionary War, by loaning the government money. John Adams and his wife Sarah (Sary) were cousins to Presidents John and John Quincy Adams. They are buried at Heart Pond Cemetery in Chelmsford, Middlesex, Massachusetts. (Source: Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Genealogical Research Database.)

When the Revolutionary War started in Concord and Lexington, he was considered too young to fight. Circumstances then changed drastically for young Isaac.

After stating that he was born in the town of Westford, Massachusetts in 1761, and giving a short account of the destruction of the tea and the causes which led to the war, he managed to document his experience fighting for freedom against the British. His father and two brothers were called out as minutemen and were stationed in the vicinity of Cambridge. His father was taken sick and brought home, and at the suggestion of the Captain, young Glynne, at 14, took his place in the army.

Lady Heydecker takes great pride in enabling further distribution of this book to Isaac’s descendants, as his participation in the Revolutionary War reflects the family’s commitment to freedom from tyranny and injustice, a legacy that continues to this day. May Isaac always be remembered as the patriot he was, especially at his young age, and for his foresight in documenting his firsthand account. May his experience serve as an inspiration to his descendants to stay strong, even in their darkest hours. May he be a beacon of hope, proving that through suffering comes great reward.
