Education and career
Federal judicial service
Glenn was nominated by President Millard Fillmore on March 18, 1852, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland vacated by Judge Upton Scott Heath. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 19, 1852, and received his commission the same day. His service terminated on July 8, 1853, due to his death near Catonsville, Maryland.[1]
Estate
Glenn purchased and expanded his brother's estate Hilton near Catonsville in 1842. He entertained Robert E. Lee as a guest several times and lived there until his death. The estate is currently part of the Community College of Baltimore County, with the majority of the original property subdivided for housing developments.[2]
