 Includes NotesNotes for Martha Glenn:
From Eaton's History of Candia, p. 89

"The wife, of the noble race of Scotch Covenanters, was a brave woman, and fled from Papal persecution in the land of her fathers."

About the year 1740, Mr. McClure and his wife moved to Chester, NH at a time when fear of the Indians compelled the inhabitants to seek the security of a garrison. It so happened, on a certain occasion, that the men were obliged to be absent, leaving the women and children alone. No one among them, but the courageous Martha Glenn, dared to act as sentry. With the confidence which inspired her, when she offered up her prayer to God, among the misty mountain caves of Scotland, she kept the dangerous watch with a loaded musket. It turned out that the place was actually reconnoitered for an attack. The spy is said to have reported, "Me see nothing but de one white squaw." A superstitious fer, or the hand of Providence, kept the Indians from their design.
