In "Genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Gleason of Watertown, Mass" By J.B. White. page 236 she is called Cynthia Gunn. And is presented as the first wife of Elijah Gleason. They have 7 children, all born in Little Barrington (Berkshire County, MA): Lewis, Hiram, Elijah Jr (who marries Bersheba Gunn), Alonso, Lucy, Chauncy and Caroline (who remains unmarried). See: https://books.google.com.mx/books?id=yeAIAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA236&lpg=PA236&dq=Cynthia+Gunn+Johnson&source=bl&ots=cwX1V3TCFQ&sig=ACfU3U28oFsL_A1zldNslVkwXC3GYl3cGQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjUgNedi-bgAhUGRa0KHYaBC4MQ6AEwCXoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=Cynthia%20Gunn%20Johnson&f=false

Either this is an error or there is another explanation. For example, Cyntha may have married a Gunn in Sheffield before she married Elijah Gleason. There are a half dozen Gunns born in Sheffield who might have been her first husband about whom we know very little. Anyway, the Gunns and the Gleasons must have been closely associated. The two families lived in Sheffield, Massachusetts, then in Canaan, Connecticut, and finally in Ashtabula, Ohio. Elijah Gleason Jr. (1806-1883) married Bersheba "Basha" Gunn in 1834 in Ashtabula. And Lucy Gleason (1771-1843) married Noble Gunn near Canaan in 1786.
