Martin GLEESON and Mary GLEESON

Martin GLEESON and Mary GLEESON lived in Capparoe Townland, Tipperary in the 1840's.
Martin and Mary had the following known children:

    Mary GLEESON, born 1844
    Martin GLEESON born 1846



In 1846, Martin GLEESON & Mary GLEESON were the sponsors for the baptism of James GLEESON, the son of James GLEESON & Mary GLEESON.

There must be a family relationship between these two couples. Could one of the Mary GLEESONS be a sister to either of the husbands? Possibly it is more distant and they are cousins.
We have the paternal DNA available on the James GLEESON family, but we are not sure about the family connections for Martin or either Mary GLEESON.



From the Book of County Tipperary written in 1889 by George Henry Bassett we learn that Capparoe was" a road-side post office, in the parish of Kilmore, barony of Upper Ormond, 3 miles, Irish, south by west from Nenagh. The land of the neighborhood is fair for pasture and tillage." The Post Master is John Borden. There are 7 families, with the two Gleeson families being "GLEESON, D., Lisheenaclounta" and "GLEESON, Patrick, Carrow."
