James GLEESON Oxley, Farmer, possibly passed away in 1874 at age 72.

(Memo: a descendant of the above James GLEESON(Oxley) and a descendant of Martin Gleeson, born 1829, and a son of another James GLEESON(Oxley) match on 66 out of 67 markers in DNA testing. So they are very closely related. Probably the common ancestor is around 1800.)
(Memo: it is unlikely that Martin Gleeson born in 1829 is the same Martin Gleeson who married Mary Gleeson, see the godparents of James born in 18446 above, but they may all be closely related.)
