Milton Worth Glendenning was brought by ox-drawn wagon the 500 miles from Rush County, Indiana to Gentry County, Missouri in 1841 in a caravan led by his grandfather, Elijah Carter. Carter and most of his family, including grandchildren were part of this trek. Milton's father, "Little John" Glendenning, was married to Elijah's daughter Nancy, his cousin "Big John" Glendenning was married to Elijah's daughter Elizabeth, and Big John's brother Richard was married to Elijah's daughter Leta. They were all part of the caravan.
History of Daviess and Gentry Counties, Missouri (1922), p. 523-524:
Milton Glendenning, deceased, was a man who grew up in Gentry County, experiencing in his childhood and youth all of the privations and hardships entailed by life on the frontier. He was born in Virginia [Indiana] in 1838 [1940], and his parents, John and Nancy Glendenning, brought their family to Missouri in 1845 [1841], where they settled in Howard Township in Gentry County. John Glendenning entered land there, and improved it.
In 1865, Milton Glendenning settled on the farm of 300 acres where his widow now lives. He improved the land, and built the residence located 5 miles northwest of New Hampton. He became one of the efficient and well known farmers of the township, a man highly esteemed by his fellow citizens. He died in 1901, and his remains are buried in Carter Cemetery.
Milton Glendenning was married in 1861 to Julia Ann Crane, a daughter of John W. and Rebecca (Wade) Crane, early settlers of Howard Township from Tennessee. They both died in Gentry County, and their remains are buried in Carter Cemetery. To the union of Milton and Julia Ann (Crane) Glendenning the following children were born: John W., deceased; Emily Melissa, now dead, was the wife of Ed Mount; Joseph Newton, deceased; Cora Emaline, now the wife of James Kier of Kansas City, Mo.; and Mildred Victoria, married first to Earl Williams, and the second time to J. N. Maxwell of Rogers, Ark.
Roy Williams, son of Earl and Mildred Victoria (Glendenning) Williams, and the grandson of Milton Glendenning. Mr. Williams grew up in Texas, but two years ago he came to Missouri and is now living with his grandmother on the Glendenning farm. He operates 203 acres of the land, doing general farming and stockraising. He is a young man of industry and capacity, and is rapidly achieving success in his present line of work.
The name of Milton Glendenning still stands in his community for upright dealings, for energy, and for high ideals of citizenship.

Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o'er.
On the border land we left them,
Soon to meet and part no more.
