According to two sources "Genealogy of the des. Of Thom. Gleason of Watertown, Ms. By Lill. May Wilson. Haverhill, Ms, 1909. (549, 120p.): 159" and "Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records 1620 - 1988" his birthdate was December 10, 1824.
His tombstone states his birthdate as December 10, 1832. George's Civil war draft registration dated July 1, 1863 lists his age as 37, this would put his birth at about 1826.
I will continue researching and update with additional/new information as it becomes available.
