General Notes

Nehemiah left Delaware after his father died in 1782 with his brothers and settled in Washington County, PA. Greene County was created from Washington County in 1796.  He was only 7 or 8.
Around 1805, Nehemiah moved his family to the head of Dunkard Creek in Monongalia County.  This was all the State of Virginia until around 1863 when it became West Virginia.  They settled about 2 miles southeast of Wadestown on the Wilson Haught farm.  He then took up a track of unbroken forest land and erected a log cabin for his family.  This is now known as Glovergap, Marion County, WV.  The country in that section at that time was a perfect wilderness; wild beasts roamed the forests; the Indian's war cry had scarcely ceased on Buffalo Creek; a RR had not been thought of in the US; settlements were few and far between; Wheeling, a mere village, was the nearest market for gunpowder and salt; there were no roads, except, perhaps, a bridle path between the Monongahela and Ohio Valleys, which had been more frequently used by the Indians than the whites.  Such were the conditions that surrounded the Glover family when they arrived at their new home at the "Low Gap" .
It is not known what came first, the town Glovergap or the tunnel.  It is a small town, even smaller now than it was a few years back.  It is in Marion County but only one or two miles from the Wetzel County line.  The tunnel was made by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the east end is in Marion County, and the west end is in Wetzel County.

After Nehemiah died, the "Low Gap" farm fell into the hands of Leonard.  He later sold it and moved to another farm near Silver Hill, Wetzel County, and from there he moved to Wood County.  When Leonard left the Low Gap farm, he took his mother with him.  A few years later she died, but the date of her death and place are uncertain.
