Surnames: Glisson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5R.2ADI/918.3.1 Message Board Post: Hi, I tried to relate all the Glissons I saw online. Many are related. Ours was Joseph Glawson (his name varies from time to time) who married a Sarah Aquila Clark (she had 2 last names before marriage; her dad was Clark). I have tried to trace Aquila and Glawson both, no luck before 1750's North Carolina. I do know about the Seminole migration to Florida. A number of Glissons related to Obediah migrated to Georgia in the early eighteenth century and to Florida also (Alachua and Putnam Counties). Someone told me they were Lumbee. Which is supposed to be the original Raleigh settlers, ex-slaves, Algonquian Indians, and other Indians. A lot of Indian groups may have joined the Seminoles I think. And all got mixed in together. As the Seminole were part Muscogee, you might be right. It's a pain to trace them though. --CEW
