Private, New Hampshire

Died (in service) at Fishkill in November 1779.
"There were at least two – perhaps three – soldiers by this name, and their records are conflicting. It is certain a Henry Glover lived in Hillsborough at the breaking out of the war, and he served in Capt. John Moore's company, Stark's regiment, at Bunker Hill as drummer. He was killed in this battle.

A soldier by this name was credited to New Boston at a later date.
Henry Glover's name does not appear in the Hillsborough records after 1776, so he was probably the one killed at Bunker Hill.

A Henry Glover from this vicinity died (in service) at Fishkill, N.Y. in November, 1779."
