There was 2 Thomas Glisson's who immigrated from Ireland to MD.  Most of the above records pertain to one or the other of them.  They both had a son James?     Also both Thomas's were school teachers to complicate things more.  Also Thomas of Prince George Co., Ann Arundel, and later W.VA.  had a brother James who came with him to Md.  The families of these two seem to overlap each other.  So its hard to separate them.  I Have more on descendants of both families.  Also here I would like to mention that a lot of the above references were given to me by Dr. Eldon Tucker.

 

Below is a brief sketch of  both Thomas's:

 

Captain Thomas Glisan b.Aug 1735 in County Limerick Ireland, d.29 Mar 1809 Frederick Co. Md. buried at Ivy Mountain at Lovers Rock Cemetery near Frederick Md.  m.Margaurete ?  issue:  John who m.

Thomas Glisson b. 1738-42 in Commons of Rathkeale, Ireland (note: also County Limerick) son of James Glisson d.1 Feb 1815  buried Morgantown WVA. m.  Eleanor  Tiernan dau of Catherine Tuell.  Settled near Bladensburg, Prince George Co. Md.  in 1759.  Estate was called Bacon Hall & Quebec.  issue:  James went to WVA, Thomas went to Clermont Co. OH, Mary m. Levi Tucker and went to WVA, Eleanor m. James Creegan and went to Miami Co. OH,  Catherine m. James Porter and went to Alleghany Co. Md., Sarah m. Wm. M. Dering and went to WVA, Margaret m. Joseph Postelwaite and went to Licking Co. OH, Nancy Ann m.
