We have a couple of glebes here in Virginia that I know of, one in Northern Virginia and one on the Northern Neck. My understanding is that glebes were lands donated by the English government to the Anglican Church for the establishment of new churches during the colonial period. The lands themselves are probably no longer referred to as glebes, but the term lives on geographically, ie: Glebe Road in Arlington and Glebe Point on the Northern Neck.
