I agree with the nonsense that Peter Cleaver was an indentured servant. Too much land too quickly and I do not believe that the Peter Cleaver on the Concord is the Same Peter Cleaver who settled in Germantown next dor to Daniel Pastorius, who was a friend.

I'd love to know why you believe this is the same Peter Cleaver and why you may think he came from Frankfort on the rhine. Please contact me by the e-mail address.....

I'd love to know where you got this information from. Interesting, but whether this is the Peter Cleaver from Germantown is unknown. Please forward to me how I can reach the ship's registery. Thanks...
James CLEAVER arrived in Virginia as an indentured servant. He was
apparently not of the same line as Peter CLEAVER / KLEVER who purchased land in
Philadelphia in 1689. Peter did not arrive on the Concord. He married Gertrude
Catherine SCHUMACHER / SHOEMAKER the 27th day of the 3rd month 1695 at Abington
Meeting of the Society of Friends (Quakers). If you have access to William Wade
Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, I highly recommend it.
You will find MANY records of this family there. There is a very good book,
ANCESTRY OF ALLEN GRINNELL CLEAVER AND MARTHA IRENE JESSUP, 1989, Gateway
Press, Baltimore, Maryland. It is much more up to date and complete than his
earlier book Some Descendants of Peter CLEAVER, 1983.
I have researched this family for many years and have a lot of information to
share.

I've obviously come in on this thread in the middle. What is the title of
Mr. Owen's book, and is it available for purchase or only to be found in
libraries?
I do not believe that Peter Cleaver was of German descent either; however,
there were many English families living in Germany to practice their Puritan
religion, and that branch of Cleaver's, I believe, eventually ended up in VA and
PA.

If Mr. Owens book was so accurate, my family tree would have ended on Bear Mtn. in Va (now W Va) The Cleavers in my family believe that Peter Cleaver was not German. Too much money and wealth to be an indentured servant. More reasonable to believe that he did come on the Concord with
wealth and married a German woman here in US. But what
explains that he could not even write his name in Germantown records ( mark of Peter Cleaver).

The Cleaver from Westfield, IN believes that but we Cleaver here in Ohio do not. It does not make since that he was a indentured servant and then buy property in Germantown and his children and the wealth they had. I'm sorry but that probally is not so.

The History of Warren County, Ohio has a biographical sketch on John D. CLEAVER [Clyde's grandfather] and John's brother William H. CLEAVER that might be of interest to you. It does mention that John's grandparents were Ezekiel and Abigail CLEAVER who were natives of Pennsylvania and that they first came to Warren County, Ohio in 1805.
I might also mention that John's first wife and mother of Peter Benton CLEAVER [Clyde's father] and Charles CLEAVER was Catherine KIGER, daughter of Samuel KIGER and Susanah NIMERICK.

I'm trying to find information on a Hannah Cleaver born April 03, 1764 in Pennsyvlania and died Dec. 14, 1842 in Spencer co, Indiana. She married Abraham Hornbeck April 3, 1783 in Polar Neck, Kentucky. I have listed that her father is William Cleaver. Not sure if this is correct or not. Many family trees are listing it that way, and some say her mother was Hannah and some say her mother was Mary Knight. Does anyone have information on this family? I'd appreciated it greatly. Thank you!
