I am looking for any informartion on my grandfather's parents. My grandfather, Fred T. Gleason, was apparently born around 1872 in Laingsburg, Michigan. My grandfather's middle name was "Treat" and, according to my father, Treat was also his mother's family name. The 1860 census for Sciota, Shiawassee County, Michigan lists a Samuel Treat with a wife, Mary Treat, and three daughters, Alice Treat, Emma Treat, and Ida May Treat. The 1870 census for Sciota, Shiawassee County, Michigan lists a William H. Gleason born in Canada with a wife, Emma Gleason, living in Samuel Treat's household. The 1880 census for Laingsburg, Shiawassee County, Michigan lists a William H. Gleason with a wife Emma Gleason and two children, a Fred (age 8) and a Jennie (age 10). It is my suspicion that Fred is my grandfather whom was born in Laingsburg, Michigan around 1872. After the 1880 census for Laingsburg, Shiawassee County, Michigan, William H. Gleason and Emma Gleason disappear. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me find out what happened to William H. Gleason and Emma Gleason (maiden name Treat) aftter the 1880 census for Lainsgburg, Shiawassee County, Michigan.
