Thomas Glenn was among the first pioneers to venture into the Western Virginia and Kentucky territories. He was born in 1750 in present-day Pennsylvania, married before 1770 and settled in present-day Wheeling, West Virginia by 1774, but possibly earlier. He was part of an advanced detachment of John Floyd's survey expedition before joining James Harrod's party in founding Harrodstown, the earliest permanent white settlement west of the Appalachians, along with his younger brother David Glenn. Together they explored a large portion of Kentucky in the 1770s making several improvements from Frankfort down to Russell Springs.

  • Thomas Glenn was among the first pioneers to venture into the Western Virginia and Kentucky territories. He was born in 1750 in present-day Pennsylvania, married before 1770 and settled in present-day Wheeling, West Virginia by 1774, but possibly earlier. He was part of an advanced detachment of John Floyd's survey expedition before joining James Harrod's party in founding Harrodstown, the earliest permanent white settlement west of the Appalachians, along with his younger brother David Glenn. Together they explored a large portion of Kentucky in the 1770s making several improvements from Frankfort down to Russell Springs. Thomas Glenn was killed September 1, 1777 at the Siege of Fort Henry from a thrown tomahawk into his back. Glenn's Creek, branched off the Kentucky River just outside Frankfort, is named after Thomas and Glenn's Run, a stream running east-to-west from the Ohio River just north of Martin's Ferry in Wheeling, was probably named after him also.
