General Notes: Husband - Amos Gleason

---

While this surname is not common, it is the name of one of the earliest immigrants to America. Thomas Gleason was probably in Massachusetts by 1653; he lived in several of its settlements. From him perhaps all the early Gleasons were descended. The present family, according to tradition, was formerly settled in Vermont; and it seems likely that its descent is from this Massachusetts pioneer.

He removed from Livingston County, New York, to Warsaw, Wyoming County, New York, about 1835; but, after the death of his wife, he returned to Livingston County, and there lived for the rest of his life, making his home with his daughter. He had at least two children: the daughter with whom he lived in Livingston County; and Ira Sylvenus.
