Notes:

Name:
Thomas settled in Sudbury, Mass., in 1665, on the east side of Cochituate Pond, or Long Pond, as it was uniformly called in the early records. This pond lies partly in Natick, partly in Sudbury and partly in Framingham. Sept. 29, 1673 he bought by exchange from Benjamin and Mary Rice the northerly one half of eighty acres, which lay between Beaver Dam Brook, Gleason's Pond and Gleason's Hill in Framingham. Gleason's Pond, as it is still called, covers about 13 acres. It was named for Thomas Gleason, and for four generations his descendants lived upon its borders. Thomas' own home was built near it in 1678. Oct 5th, 1678 he was received as an inhabitant in the town of Sherborn, where he enjoyed civil and religious privileges, his estate being taxable there up to 1700.

Thomas was a signer of a petition March 3rd, 1692, to the General Court at Boston to purchase adjacent land from the Indians in Natick Bounds for the incorporation of Framingham. The name of his son Thomas Jr. appears on the same petition.

The location of Thomas Gleason's farm near Sudbury is sometimes described as being in Natick's Bounds in the town of Sherborn, but between the years 1667 and 1710 it was recognized as a part of Framingham.

The early records show a number of land transfers made by Thomas Gleason.

His Will was proven Sept. 10, 1705.

Thomas married Sarah ?. Sarah died on 8 Jul 1703 in Framingham, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
