I am Charles Franklin Glisson III
My grandfathers name on my fathers side was "Charles Franklin Glisson" [the 1st],
My Grandfathers name on my mothers side was "Clarance Carter"
I am pretty sure "Carter" is English, but "Glisson" is Irish, and Tipperary in origin.
Would be interested in knowing more,
Thanks
I looked at MacLysaght's The Surnames of Ireland- the nearset I got to Glisson is Glissane-
(O) Gleeson ? Glas?in or ? Glias?in. The anglicized form of the name in Kerry in Glissane. The main sept(tribe) was located in Lower Ormond Map Tipperary
Hope this helps.
kind regards,
