• Name	Priscilla GLOVER  [1, 3]
  	She was the daughter of Josse, who was known also as Jose, which he signed on his will of 16 May 1638, proved 22 Dec. 1638, by executors Richard Davey and John Harris. Josse was sometimes referred to (incorrectly) as "Jesse" or "Joseph". He "was rector (at Sutton) from 1628 till 1636, when he tendered his resignation, with the design, it is said, of immigrating to New England. Having provided a his own expense a fount of type, and procured funds in England and Holland for a printing establishment, he made an agreement, 7 June 1638, with Stephen Daye to superintend it, and took passage on board the "John of London", with his family, together with Daye, and three persons to work at the printing, besides others, among whom are said to have been Ezekiel Rogers and the emigrants who settled at Rowley." His wife and children "took up their residence at Cambridge, where, in March 1638-9, according to Winthrop, "A printing house was begun (by) Daye, at the charge of Mr. Glover, who died on sea hitherward,' - or as Bradford states, 'when he was prepared for the viage, he fell sick of a feaver and dyed,'- and the first printing-press on the continent, if we except one at Mexico, and another at Lima, in South America, was put in operation." Glover's printing press, which passed to his widow and estate, was kept at the home of Harvard President Dunster, and later at the resident of Harvard President Chauncy.
