**********************************************

Gen. John Glynn Jr., secretary of the eastern system and general agent for the Queen & Crescent railroad, was born in Ireland, County Clare, in the year 1841. At the age of five years he came with his parents to New Orleans, La., where he was reared and finished his education in 1858. He
commenced his career by entering the counting house of Horrell, Goyle & Co., where he remained until the outbreak of the war. He at once offered his services to his country, and entered as a private with the Orleans guards of light artillery. The battery operated with the western army through the campaign battle of Chickamauga, after which, by the request of General Beauregard, this battery was transferred to Charlestown to operate as an effective light battery. Our subject actually served three and
one-half years, and 365 days in the year, doing constant and active service, not even being sick or wounded, or at any time away from his post, for 1,283 days. He took part in the engagements of battery of Farmington, Perryville, Chickamauga, Bentonville, etc. After hostilities ceased he
entered the employ of B. M. Horrell & Co., and finally succeeded the firm, doing a general grain and produce business. Conducting a successful business until 1879, he retired and was elected administrator of public accounts of New Orleans, under the bureau system of city affairs, which office he filled with distinction and satisfaction for ten years. After this he became connected with the Northeastern railroad in construction as general agent, and for the last three years has been the resident agent of
the Queen & Crescent railroad, of which the Northeastern is the southern division. He subsequently was elected secretary of the same road. He took an active part in organizing the Louisiana field artillery of Battery C, of
which he was appointed captain in January, 1882, and later colonel of the regiment. He was appointed major-general in command of the First district.
In 18- Mr. Glynn was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Marie Ermence Viguard,
sister of Henry Viguard, secretary of the American legation at Paris. Socially Mr. Glynn is a member of the Pickwick club.

I gave Declan Barron of Newpark House a call. Its his busy time of the year but he has been researching Glynns. He thinks Bartholomew who went to Kilrush was a brother of the Knockaderra Glynn family - There were two Bartholomew or Bartly Glynns in the tithes, its not a common name he said the two Bartholomews were related. He agrees the Ennis and Knockaderra Glynns were definitely related. I think we know that from the funeral report and also the grave burials in Corrovorin.
