The son of Confederate veteran Joseph Glisson and Mary ("Pollie") Ann Strickland Glisson, Bazzel O. Glisson was born in 1869 in Bulloch County, Georgia. He was one of twelve siblings. He died in Bulloch County sometime between 1880 and 1890 and is buried, probably in an unmarked grave, somewhere in Bulloch County. Did he ever marry? His ancestry was Scots, English, German, and--through the Martin and Strickland surnames--Native American (Lumbee).

Like his mother, Bazzel's Native American line goes back to the Coree Indians who lived on the Atlantic coast along the Virginia/North Carolina border. By the late 17th century, the Coree population had declined due to disease and war. During the Tuscarora War, some of the surviving Coree fled south seeking refuge among the Cheraw Indians. Later some surviving Cheraws, remnants of other Indian groups, whites, and African Americans became the basis of the contemporary Lumbee Indians.

Thanks so much to Bazzel’s niece Nevada McClelland Bell for much of this information. Any errors, however, are mine alone. Please go to the "edit" link on this site with any corrections or additions. If a closer relative than I would like to manage this site, just let me know. I hope one of Bazzel’s descendants will add his photo to this site and solve the mystery of where and when he died and where he is buried.
