Absolum Gleaves was a minister in Davidson Co. TN and surrounding counties in the early to mid 1800's. He performed five marriages for my Melvin family between 1825-1832. Did he have a regular church or was he a traveling minister. I am at a brick wall with my Melvin family and was hoping to find their church and some church records. I appreciate your help.

I live in Verona, MS just down the street from an old house that was owned by Absolum Gleaves Harkreader. I am interested in knowing something about this man and his service in the Civil War. Thanks Julian

The only Harkreader I have in my database is associated with the funeral annoucement of one of my ancestors. It refers to W.M. Harkreader... he was a pallbearer at the funeral of Mrs. Annie Hawks Gleaves, wife of Jesse Harrison Gleaves in Lebanon, TN 27 Sept 1907. Hopefully this helps you!

Has anyone answered your question? Absalom Gleaves was not a minister and did not have a church. He may have preformed marriages as a government agent such as a Justic of the Peace. Go to Gleavesfamily.com and you will find all the information you need about the Gleaves family. In the top right corner there is a place to search the entire web site.
