Was a farmer and lived in Harpersfield, Ashtabula, Ohio.

"Memorial to the Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve" says that Mrs. "Barsheba" Gleason, wife of Elijah was an excellent manager and homekeeper. It quotes one of the children as saying, 'However did father manage to pay for this farm and support his family at the same time? For he had to clear the land, chopping down the trees, and burning them into charcoal, draw that off and exchange it for iron, and then turn that in for payments on the land, besides paying taxes. Nowadays it is all we can do to make a living and pay our taxes with the farm all cleared and paid for.'"
