(X) Edward Roger, fourteenth and young- est child of Edmond Jay Sherman, was born at Hadley, Saratoga county. New York, March 28, 1840. He was educated in the public schools, and lived in Hadley until April 13, 1861, when he enlisted in Company F, Twen- ty-second Regiment New York Volunteer In- fantry, winning a promotion to sergeant. He was wounded at the second battle of Bull Run August 30, 1862, and was honorably dis- charged for disability April 26, 1863. After his return home he took a course of study at Eastman's Business College, Poughkeepsie, New York, being graduated September 18, 1863. He taught school the following winter, and in the spring of 1864 having partially re- covered from his wounds returned to Wash- ington, where he received an appointment as first lieutenant of the One Hundred and Six- teenth Regiment United States Infantry (col- ored), then stationed at Lexington, Kentucky ; but his wounds had left him in such physical condition that he could not satisfactorily meet the requirements, and he was obliged to give up all hopes of active service in the field. He was appointed clerk in the office of the provost marshal at Washington, which position he held until Christmas, 1865, when he resigned. He located in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he engaged successfully in the oil business. He is a Republican in politics; has served several years as coroner, and in 1911 was again elected for a term of four years. He is a mem- ber of the board of directors and is treasurer of the Pennsylvania Memorial Home, at Brookville, Clearfield county, and is now serv- ing his third year in the latter office.

GLEASON While this name is not com- mon, 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 is a very probable conjecture that its descent is from this Massa- chusetts pioneer.
(I) Amos Gleason, the first member of this family, about whom we have definite informa-
tion, 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 married Polly Sias, who died at Warsaw, in 1843. He had at least two children : the daughter with whom he lived in Livingston county; and Ira Syl- venus, of whom further.
(II) Ira Sylvenus, son of Amos and Polly (Sias) Gleason, was born in Livingston county, New York, August 5, 1828, and died at Smethport, McKean county, Pennsylvania, December 30, 1896. He had but a limited ed- ucation. In 1844 he became an apprentice in a harness shop at Warsaw where he remained until January, 1851. On the eleventh of that month he removed to Smethport, and entered the employment of Steele and Johnson, with whom he remained for three years. Then he went into the harness business for himself. He was also a stockholder in the Smethport Water Company. He was a Republican, and held the office of school director and other town offices. In the Methodist Episcopal church, both he and his wife were members, and he was constantly in some important posi- tion, holding at one time or another, nearly all; he was steward, class leader, treasurer, and superintendent of the Sunday school. He married, at Smethport, May 31, 1854, Emily Arminia, daughter of Samuel and Weltha (Copeland) Stanton, who was born in Mc- Kean county, January 13, 1833, and died at Smethport, November 8, 1898. 'In her in- fancy she was adopted by Ghordis and Ar- menia (Sartwell) Corwin (see Stanton). Children: Dora, born at Smethport, August 2, 1857, died July 26, 1877; Ralph Corwin, of whom further.
(III) Ralph Corwin, son of Ira Sylvenus and Emily (Stanton) Gleason, was born at Smethport, July 2, 1874. There he received his education, attending the common school and the high school. In order to perfect him- self in the art of photography, he took a tech- nical course at the Oberlin Retouching School. Immediately after finishing this course, he opened a photographic studio at Smethport where he has been, and is at the present time, a successful photographer. While this is his principal, it is not his sole business interest, for he has interests outside of Smethport ; he is a stockholder in the Smethport Water Com-
I21

pany, in the Hamlin Bank and Trust Com- pany and in the First National Bank at Eldred. He is a member of the Smethport Central Club. He is past grand of Smethport Lodge, No. 389, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is now its recording secretary. Since 1902 he has been a justice of the peace, and since 1903 tax collector for the borough. His party is the Republican.
Mr. Gleason married, June 28, 1905, Harriet Marsh, daughter of Thomas Henry and Har- riet (Marsh) Ryan, who was born at Kane, Pennsylvania, October 7, 1881. She is a com- municant of St. Luke's Episcopal church. Mrs. Gleason has a very interesting ancestry, and, on her mother's side, is descended from prom- inent New England families. Her father was the son of John Ryan; both were born in County Limerick, Ireland. and both came to North America. Her grandfather died at Guelph, Ontario, Canada ; he was a grain and fur dealer : and he married Mary Maguinn, of County Clare, Ireland, who also died at Guelph. Thomas Henry Ryan was born Au- gust 26, 1841, and now resides at Kane ; he is an oil producer. At the age of seventeen he left home in Canada, and, coming to the United States, he enlisted in the "Bucktail" regiment, officially the Forty-Second Pennsylvania Re- serves, and served in the Civil war for three years. At the battle of Antietam, he was se- verely wounded in the shoulder. Harriet (Marsh) Ryan was born at Rockingham, Vermont, May 14, 1842, and died at Kane, Pennsylvania, June 7, 1904. Her first American Marsh ancestor was Lieutenant Alexander Marsh, of Braintree, Massachusetts, who died March 7, 1698. He married, October 19, 1655, Mary Belcher, also of Braintree. Their son John, born February 17, 1678, and died in 1747, was prominent in town affairs; he married, August 28, 1701, Sarah Wilson, of New Haven. Their son Moses, living at Brain- tree, was born in 1714, and died at Greenbush, New York, in the provincial army; he mar- ried, September 5, 1739, Sarah Crosby. They had a son, also named Moses, born at Brain- tree, February 5, 1744, died at Rockingham, Vermont, in 1828; his name is given in the New Hampshire Revolutionary rolls, as a pri- vate in Colonel Samuel Ashley's company, at Chesterfield. He married Jerusha Owen, who was born at Braintree, June 16, 1747, and died at Rockingham, in 1828. Among their children was Joseph, born at Braintree, August 3, 1769,

(The Stanton Line).
This name is said to be derived from two Anglo-Saxon words meaning Stone-town. It is often spelled Staunton, and in the present family some of the descendants spell it the one way, some the other.
(I) Thomas Staunton, the founder of this family, was born about 1614, and died Decem- ber 2, 1676. January 2, 1635, he took passage for Virginia in the merchantman "Bonaven- tura." If he ever went to Virginia, in the mod- ern sense of the term, his stay was very short ; yet there is some slight indication of such a residence. In 1636 he was a magistrate in Boston. In the Pequot war, he acted as in- terpreter and was a brave soldier, and after this war, he returned to Boston, but settled soon in Hartford, Connecticut. He acted as interpreter in the treaty of purchase of New
I22
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
Haven from the Indians. At Hartford, he was an official of the court. He was appoint- ed in 1650 to assist, presumably as interpreter, in preaching among the Indians. In 1650 he also established a trading house at Stoning- ton, Connecticut. It was probably in 1651 that he removed with his family to Pequot (New London), Connecticut, and in 1658 that he finally settled at Stonington, or rather, two and a half miles east of the village ; this settle- ment was then in the jurisdiction of Massa- chusetts, but was given to Connecticut in 1662. He was the first white inhabitant on the Paw- catuck river. At Stonington, especially, he was much employed about Indian affairs, his knowledge of their tongue making him a val- uable citizen. Whenever a court, conference, or treaty was to be held, his services were in- dispensable, and he was connected with almost every Indian transaction on record. Uncas visited him in 1670 with a train of warriors and captains, to get him to write his will. He was also prominent in other public affairs, and received large grants of land; in October, 1667, the general court granted him, for his services, two hundred and fifty acres in what became the town of Preston, New London county. He took an active part in King Philip's war; served as commissioner of Indian affairs; in 1665 was made a commissioner of Stonington, with authority to hold a semi-annual court at New London, to which office he was annually re-elected until his death, twelve years later. In 1666 he was elected a member of the gen- eral court of Connecticut, and he was repeat- edly re-elected until 1675. He held other of- fices beside these. In the organizing of the First Congregational church at Stonington, he was a leader, and his name was the first on its roll. He married Ann, daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Lord, who was born about 1621, and died in 1688. Her father received, in Connecticut, the first license to practice medi- cine which was granted in New England. Chil- dren : Thomas, born in 1638, died April II, 1718, married Sarah Denison; John (1), of whom further; Mary, born in 1643, married, November 17, 1662, Samuel Rogers; Hannah, born in 1644, married, November 20, 1662, Nehemiah Palmer; Joseph, died in 1714, mar- ried (first), June 19, 1673, Hannah Mead, (second), Angust 23, 1677, Hannah Lord, had two other marriages : Daniel, born in 1648; Dorothy, born in 1651, died January 19, 1742, married, September 11, 1674, Rev.

(II) John (I), son of Thomas and Ann (Lord) Stanton, was born at Hartford, in 1641, and died at Stonington, October 31, 1713. In 1654 he was sent by the court of commis- sioners to be educated for a teacher of the Gospel to the Indians, but he did not finish his studies In 1664 he was the first recorder of Southertown ( Stonington). He was cap- tain of one of the Connecticut regiments in King Philip's war, and was in command when Canonchet was captured. He married, in 1664, Hannah Thompson. Children: John (2), of whom further ; Joseph, born January 22, 1668, married, July 18, 1696, Margaret Cheseboro ; Thomas, born in April, 1670, married, in 1692, Anna Stanton; Ann, born October 1, 1673, died March 23, 1680; Theophilus, born June 16, 1676, married, June 5, 1698, Elizabeth Rogers: Dorothy, born in 1680, died April 28, 1699.

(V) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (1) and Mary (Palmer) Stanton, was born at Preston, April 17, 1759, and died at Bellefonte, Center county, Pennsylvania, April 15, 1816. In June, 1789, he bought a tract of three hundred and twenty-two acres in Wayne county, Pennsyl- vania, and became the first actual settler in Mount Pleasant township; he had previously done some surveying in that section. The day following his purchase he bought nearly three thousand acres more. About a year later he began to work this land, and he brought his family here in April, 1791. During the fol- lowing winter he and his family nearly died of starvation. When they were almost beyond hope, a passing hunter killed a deer near their cabin; then discovering their plight, he gen- crously and effectually relieved them. In 1796 Mr. Stanton was appointed justice of the peace in Northampton county. When Wayne county was organized, two years later, he was a commissioner to build the court house, and he was engaged in many enterprises in Wayne county. In October, 1814, he was appointed associate judge of that county. Near the close of his life, however, he removed westward, and purchased seventeen hundred acres of land on Marvin creek, in what is now Hamlin town- ship, McKean county, and three or four hun- dred acres in Liberty township. In the latter township he erected a store and log house ; he also planned for many buildings. His project was, to bring two hundred families to what is now Port Allegany. In this new home he was commissioner of a state road ; business grow- ing out of this position called him to Harris- burg. Taking his family, he went as far as the west branch of the Susquehanna; and it was while stopping at Bellefonte to visit a friend, as he was making his journey to Har- risburg, that he died. When he had started with his family, they had just had a visitation of typhoid in which seven of his children had been sick. Mrs. Stanton, after his death, con- tinued the journey to Port Allegany. The main body of the intended colonists settled in Ashtabula county, Ohio. Judge Stanton was a pious Christian man, a member of the Free Communion Baptists, and was the author of about fifty hymns. He was a man of lively imagination, well developed intellect and un-
usual power of concentration. It is said that he read over two thousand books, and could discourse intelligently about their contents. In disposition he was cheerful, entertaining, yet not jovial, and with a thirst for information which made him alert. He married, at Pres- ton, December 3, 1786, Martha Carpenter, daughter of Daniel and Anna (Carpenter) Morse, who was born at Preston, October 15, 1764, and died at Port Allegany, May 8, 1830.
