There was a change of mayor each year in the borough at this time, but with the same names performing the office again a few years later. Francis performed the duty again in 1675-6, the last time a Glanville was Mayor of Launceston.
The Cornwall Record Office site, in the catalogue entry for a document re Launceston Borough, ref. BLAUS/480, includes:
"The Reverend John Ruddle, receipt from Francis Glanvill, mayor, for £14 10 shillings, a quarter's salary due 29 September last. 7 Oct 1668".

Father Oliver GLANVILLE, b. Est 1589, d. Between 18 Jan 1640/41 and 29 Nov 1641 (Age ~ 52 years) Mother Elizabeth BROOKING, d. 1658 Married Est 1615 - Potentially confusing, an Oliver of Camborne was having children around the same time, including several with the same names. I did think maybe this Oliver had lived there for a while, but the offspring with the same names seem to have married in Camborne, so it seems clear it was a different family. Hopefully the large distance between Camborne and Launceston will mean the two aren't confused.
Wife named as Elizabeth in his will.
