The Gleaves, Glosser, Hunter, and Rogers Home Page

Years ago my brother (EDWIN SHEFFIELD GLEAVES, JR.) and I began to assemble a family tree primarily for the benefit of the descendants of our parents (EDWIN SHEFFIELD GLEAVES and HAZEL BOYD HUNTER). More recently, my wife (CATHERINE ANNA GLOSSER GLEAVES) and I began adding to the tree by including the ancestors and descendants of her parents (MORT MARK GLOSSER and CATHERINE CORNELIA ROGERS). We have added many names to that branch of the tree thanks to the research efforts of my sister-in-law (AURELIA SEWALL GLOSSER BARNETT). Also, my daughter (SHARON ELIZABETH GLEAVES) has joined the search and has made some excellent discoveries on the Web. We have concentrated our efforts on identifying direct ancestors (grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.), though we have also added many distant aunts, uncles, and cousins to the tree.

This page is dedicated to sharing our information with others and with searching for more information on our ancestors on both sides of the family. Here are some of the surnames of our ancestors who lived in the United States. You will find additional surnames of persons born in Europe in the family trees themselves.
