The 1850 Census has David GLEASON in Vinton Co.Ohio. The 1860 Census has David GLEASON in Gallia Co.Ohio, with a farm of 400 Acres. David GLEASON died Oct.1, 1871 in Bloomfield Twp., Jackson Co.? It's reported that David was buried at the Perkin's Cemetery? In Bloomfield Twp.? Also that David was a Minister? David GLEASON is my GGGGrandfather, but I'm not sure if the info. is right. I can understand him moving about if he was indeed a Minister, but I don't understand how he would run a 400 Acres farm?
