 Joshua Nichols Glenn was born on July 10, 1799 in Jackson County, Georgia.  He joined the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1821 and preached in Georgia until 1823.  At that time Glenn was sent to the St. Augustine Mission, becoming the first Methodist preacher to be appointed to East Florida.  He returned to Georgia in 1824 and preached within South Carolina and Georgia Conferences until his death in Rockdale County, Georgia on August 16, 1879.
