Henry Glen (July 13, 1739 – January 6, 1814) was a merchant, military officer and politician who served in the United States House of Representatives during the years immediately following the adoption of the United States Constitution. ==Early life== Henry Glen was born in Albany, New York on July 13, 1739.〔U.S. Dutch Reformed Church Records from Selected States, 1660-1926, Baptism record for Hendrik Jacob Glen, retrieved January 20, 2014〕 His middle name was Jacob, and his names in Dutch were "Hendrick" (the Dutch version of Henry) and "Jacobse" or "Jacobus." He grew up in the Dutch culture of Albany and Schenectady, and his name often appears in records in English, in Dutch, or in a combination of both languages. In addition, his name is sometimes recorded with his middle name, without his middle name, and with spelling variants, including "Hendrik" and "Hendrick." His last name also sometimes appears in written records as "Glenn." Glen became a merchant and was successful in the Indian Trade and land speculation, operating a company in partnership with his brother Johannes (John) and Jacobus (Jacob) Teller.〔Jonathan Pearson, (Contributions for the Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of Schenectady ), 1873, page 78〕 (Glens Falls was named for Johannes Glen, and Glenville was named for an ancestor of Johannes and Henry, Sander Leendertse Glen ).〔Stefan Bielinski, New York State Museum, (Glen Family ), May 30, 2005〕〔New York State Assembly, (Documents of the Assembly of the State of New York ), Volume 23, 1915, pages 56〕〔Bob Bayle, Andrea Matte, Tim Weidne, (Queensbury and Glens Falls ), 2012, page 7〕 He was an early white settler of Schenectady, and was appointed Town Clerk in 1767.
