Surnames: Stearns/Sterns Dunton Gleason/Glezen Billups Jones Fisher Love Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2ZJBAEB/32 Message Board Post: My own grandmother's (Nellie Jones, b. 5 April 1890) family journal seems to have mixed messages, or at least, I cannot follow what she is saying. In it, she states that HER great-grandmother Gleason's MOTHER's maiden name was Sarah Sterns. Now, I'm showing Nellie's great-grandmother as being a Sally Dunton, who married Oliver Gleason 22 Jun 1809 in Worcester, Worcester County, Mass. I'm assuming the Sarah Sterns/Stearns, b. 1738, is Sally Dunton's mother. I've seen another Sarah Stearns with the same birth year, but I don't believe that person is the one I'm searching for. Oliver Gleason and Sally Dunton had six children, the first girl being a Sarah Glezen/Gleason, so it is very possible they named the child after Sally's mom....Sarah Stern/Stearns????? Will those of you who have Sterns/Stearns, Duntons and Gleason/Glezen in the Worcester, Mass. area between 1738 and 1822 look to see if there is mention of a Sarah Sterns/Stearns anywhere in your records? I can find Sally Dunton easy enough, but cannot located her mother...and maybe that mother will by my missing Sarah Sterns/Stearns. I'd certainly appreciate all the help you can give me...thanks!
