Robert W. Glover, sometimes known as Bob Glover (November 15, 1866 – March 29, 1956), was a Baptist pastor and a Democratic politician from Sheridan in Grant County in south Arkansas.
Glover's ancestors may have included a previous Robert Glover of England, burned at the stake for his religious convictions. Another possible ancestor, John Glover, was a brigadier general in the American Revolution under General George Washington.
Glover's grandfather, Delany L. Glover (1814–1885) was born in South Carolina and came to Arkansas from Hamilton County, Tennessee after 1852. He and his family settled on the Fourche Creek southwest of Little Rock, where he established a sawmill. The Glovers cut much of the timber that went into the early buildings of Little Rock. Later they moved to the Palestine Community north of Sheridan. Delany Glover was a postmaster in the Belfast Community in Saline County and later operated a gristmill in Sheridan until his death.
Glover's father, William Harrison Glover (1836–1906), a veteran of the Confederate Army, established a sawmill in Sheridan. W. H. Glover was married to the former Margaret Caroline Crowson (born 1838). In 1870, William H. Glover moved to the Philadelphia Community south of Prattsville, where he cleared a large farm and established another mill there, powered by water and located on Polk Creek.
