Ref: My Favorite Ancestor by Judith Gleason
Claassen of Albuquerque, New Mexico-
The
life of David Gleason was an adventurous one. He was a patriot, a
pioneer, and a planter, and a bit of a black sheep as well. Born in Worcester,
Massachusetts, to Phinehas Gleason and Eunice Chadwick Gleason in 1759, David
was a descendant of Thomas Gleason who appeared in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
about 1652.
Orphaned
at an early age, David was raised by his uncles, three of whom were Minutemen.
At age sixteen, he became a matross in the Revolutionary War. Later he served
in the Northern Department against Burgoyne, also at Peekskill and White
Plains. Sometime during the war he contracted smallpox, but thankfully
recovered. David returned to Worcester just long enough to sell his inherited
lands and set off for a new life in Kentucky, where he soon was fighting
Indians with Daniel Boone. He became the first constable of the newly formed
Bourbon County but, when the Indian wars were over, David moved on. He
continued down river and settled for a time in Spanish Natchez. There he met
and married the daughter of French immigrants, Barbara deMoss.
A new
frontier was opening up to the west of the Mississippi, and the Spanish
government was seeking settlers in order to control the threat from Indians
there. About 1793, David and his family journeyed across the Mississippi and up
the Ouachita to join a few settlers in the wilderness at Fort Miro (now Monroe,
Louisiana). David became a member of the local militia as a "Spanish
Dragoon."
There
are many tales of the exploits of this band of militia, and David became an
important player. Frequently at odds with the Spanish, he was finally thrown
into prison for sedition. He had been overheard boasting that with a few good
men he could capture Fort Miro for the Americans, who by then controlled
Natchez. David was freed soon after when the Louisiana Territory reverted to
the French. In 1803, Louisiana was purchased by the United States and David
concentrated on farming for the remainder of his life.
When
David Gleason died in 1823 he owned two plantations on the banks of the Bayou
DeSaird. His wife, Barbara, and five of their ten children had been lost to
disease over the years, but David lived to see the first steamboat that
traveled up the Ouachita River.
