DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ervin by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
1890 Census has Erving Gleason age 40 in California and Irving Gleason age 10 in Illinois. What is the proposed connection? I recommend checking the information. I believe the 1890 Illinois information is incorrect, labeled incorrectly, and actually a repeat of the 1870 census (not 1900, not 1890).
