Genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Gleason of Watertown, Mass
Thomas Gleason (1607-1686) married Susanna Page, and emigrated before 1642 from England to Watertown, Massachusetts, moving about 1654/1655 to Cambridge, and in 1658 to Charlestown, Massachusetts. Descendants lived in New England, New York, Missouri, Kansas, California and elsewhere. Name was spelled "Leeson" in early records.
Afterlife of Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587) was active as monarch of Scotland for just six years between 1561 and 1567, but her impact as a ruler in Scotland is much less important than her subsequent role in popular culture and imagination. Her story has enjoyed perpetual retelling and reached a global audience over the past four and a half centuries. This collection surveys the exceptionally varied range of objects, literature, art and media that have been produced to commemorate Mary between her own time and the present day. Why is her story so enduring, pervasive, and of such interest to so many different audiences? How have the narratives associated with these objects evolved in response to shifting cultural attitudes? The collection offers a much-needed novel perspective on the Queen of Scots, using an approach at the intersection of early modern, gender and cultural history, museum and heritage studies, and memory studies.

A sister, Sarah, also immigrated to Weymouth, and married Thomas Porter. A brother, William (b.1645), probably immigrated to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York, Michigan, Illinois and throughout the rest of the United States.

Some descendants immigrated from England to Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. Includes some data about Vining origins in England to about 1066 A.D. "Vinings not placed" appear at the end.
