biography text

Glynne resided on the Oxfordshire estates settled on him at the time of his marriage by his father. His name appears on Lord Wharton’s list of the Convention as a friend to be influenced by his father, and he was doubtless a court supporter, but he left no trace on its records. He may have become a Whig collaborator under James II, when he was recommended for local office in Oxfordshire. He was buried at Bicester on 8 Sept. 1690. His son, the second baronet, was returned for Oxford University in 1698 and for Woodstock in 1702 as a Tory.1J. E. Griffith, Peds. of Anglesey and Caern. Fams. 172; Mems.
