In 1802 the General Assembly passed an act by which the glebes were sold for the benefit of the public.
The glebes became "bones of contention" between the Episcopal Church and the "people.
Besides this a small Stock of Hogs and Cattle upon the Glebes would be of excellent Service to Newcomers, till they can be better furnished; they being obliged to leave behind them the same Number of the same Animals.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "glebes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
