Tipperary / Re: Calling all GLEESONS
« on: Monday 17 April 17 15:22 BST (UK) »
Hello, My great grandfather was Robert Gleason born 26 Mar 1852, Philadelphia, PA and died 20 Apr 1930, Oaklyn, NJ. He was son of John Gleason and Elizabeth Logan. My grandmother Sarah Edna Gleason was born 17 Nov 1902, Philadelphia, PA. Robert Gleason was a policeman for the City of Philadelphia. He patrolled south Philly. He carried a walking club that cops used back then. The Irish make good policeman for some reason.
I found a photo of my grandfather in his policeman uniform and he looks just like the Reverend John Gleeson from Tipperary, Ireland. They have same Irish facial features. See attached pdf.
I believe my Gleason family are related to the Gleasons in New York and Massachusetts but there are broken links in my Gleason family tree.
I was wondering if there was any family history for Rev John Gleeson. This is a clue to my Gleason family tree. Thanks
