Joseph Howell Gleaton is not the parent of my 2nd great grandfather, Joseph Manuel Gleaton, known by most as Ned. Joseph Howell Gleaton was perhaps a brother or uncle, but definitely not father. Joseph Howell was born in 1854. My 2nd great grandfather was born June 6,1842. His father was Willis Gleaton born June 6, 1942, died 1918 in Neeses, SC, and his father was Edward Gleaton. Joseph Manuel (or Emanuel) Gleaton born in the area of Orangeburg, SC and married my great great grandmother, Frances Spires. My mother who is 82, my aunts and uncles who are still alive remember them well and have photos, there are consensus records, death certificates, etc.

Hi Barbara, Please keep the discussion here, no need to open another for Joseph Manuel Gleaton. I've spent the last hour or so on my Ancestry master tree going over the information and making corrections and coming back here to correct.

I'd been going through the tree and correcting information over the last year that I've gathered here, WikiTree, MyHeritage and from what I can still access on Rootsweb. I've only been working on my tree for the last 4 years, and I am finding a LOT of errors on my grandmother's side of the family that I am only truly correcting now, as I walk back up the tree and branch back down.

I've corrected what I have, but my Pro account has expired and I cannot afford to re-upgrade this month.

So far, I only have the 1880 Census on Joseph Howell Gleaton and Mary Rutland Gleaton and their 2 daughters that I can verify.

Here's what I've found:
Father: Edward A Gleaton
Mother: Rachel Ann Mariah Chavis Gleaton
Spouse: Mary Rutland Gleaton 1848–1926
Daughter: Talula Annie Gleaton married William Henry Chavis 1872–1936
(https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/102715734/talula-annie-chavis)
Daughter: Sallie Gleaton Jackson married Henry A Jackson 1867–1920
(https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/116450728/sallie-jackson)

His Find-a-Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/102716102/joseph-howell-gleaton
Wife's Find-a-Grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/102716135/mary-gleaton

I'm related to Mary, but not Joseph, by blood.

Again, I've corrected what I can here and on Ancestry, but it seems there are three or four trees on Ancestry with the incorrect information I'd originally copied to work through and they've not been updated in years.

Thank you for your patience.

It appears you have found the correct info, cousin! That info matches mine, and you are right; that branch(es) contains errors. It is so confusing and so many relatives and relationships that have me scratching my head Lol. And for years! Hopefully we keep finding more and tie up some loose ends. Best of luck!

Joseph Howell was the uncle of Joseph Manuel Gleaton and the brother of Willis Gleaton. Edward Gleaton and Rachel Ann Chavis were Joseph and Willis Gleaton’s parents, and how you and I are cousins. But I’m sure you already knew that lol 😊
