Not sure if you can help me or not; crossing my fingers.
I am searching for a man with the surname Cleaver who was born around 1930 in Ontario. He was in the Armed Forces and was a cook at Cornwallis Naval Base in Nova Scotia in 1955. I'm afrain I do not know his first name. It is my understanding that he had 2 daughters born before 1955 sometime. I know that this is very vague, but I am an adoptee and believe that he amy be my birthfather.

Brad--
In the first paragraph of "Family Record of the Cleavers & Relatives", contained within DAR Manuscript Collection 203, the document cites (in lovely prose form, family story style) to Susannah BACON as the wife of Peter CLEAVER, his birthdate as, b. 1 April 1732.
Briefly, "In 1755 he married Susannah BACON who was born in New Jersey July 24, 1736. She died in Delaware May 20, 1829. * * *."
Are these the dates that you found on the tombstone in Hickory Grove Cemetery? Perhaps she was called by both names?
Did you ever check the sources cited in William Jessup CLEAVER's two Cleaver family books? I looked at the long listing of sources (clearly footnoted in the back of the book) in his "Descendants of Peter Cleaver" first book at the Library of Congress, Wash D.C. Have you seen this list?
As per DAR, Isaac CLEAVER was Prvt., in Capt. John Man., Eighth Company, County of Philadelphia, pg 653, Penn. Archives, Sixth Series, Vol. 1, 1906. Several other Cleavers show up in this company too... Peter Cleaver (two of them), Nathan Cleaver, Jese? (can't read my copy) Cleaver, Joseph Cleaver..

Thanks for the information. To the best of my knowledge, none of my Cleavers was a member of the military during the revolution so I haven't turned to DAR yet.
My focus is on Peter (b.1831/32) and wife Sarah. First name is confirmed from headstone in Hickory Grove Cem. Last name alleged to be Bacon. I'm searching for hard documentatinof Sarah's last name.
As for Peter (the immigrant ancestor) Cleaver (Clever/Klever), he is generally thought to be of German origin but I've not personally seen the documentation. A couple of citations i clude:

I hope you have resolved your questions on this line by now. Since we have a Hannah Cleaver/Clever (1787/1864, desecrated Ebenezer Cemetery, Mack Ohio-western Cincy) in my line [ who married David Garrison 1812, David English next, and Joseph SEXTON last and third--- I have run into your Hannah Cleaver also...
We also had one branch go up to Spencer Cty Indiana (Hannah L. Garrison Sibert, Shiloh Cemetery, Rockport IN area I hear) from Cincinnati so theoretically they could have?? known one another perhaps??...
I am very interested in pursuing DAR via Isaac Clever (KLEBER in DAR Patriot index). I presume you have reviewed Wm. Jessup Cleaver's excellent books on our family....

Brad-
Stopped at DAR Library, Washington DC for a few days while in that city this week ; reviewed some documentation, and several applications for Isaac CLEAVER family, daughter Eliz. m. Mr. Killie. I am not sure I know if you descend from Isaac's line or another sibling of Isaac-- so please advise. Sadly, the applications only referenced the one daughter (of Isaac, Elizabeth) so I guess we need to prove the rest of us exist...
Also are you seeking documentation for a book or for an application, etc.?
One application cited a marriage date of March 27 1695 for Peter Clever/Cleaver and wife Catherine Shoemaker-- Sources get cited at end of applications, generally....So, you can request official copies via DAR procedures....various other info which I hadn't seen was on these apps (reviewed by me briefly on microfilm-- I have to order copies....)- Peter Clever/Cleaver Jr. was cited as "A German Quaker from Lower Rhine" in the same well prepared application--
So do we know the CLEVER line are Germans??
I too am interested in DAR application and documentation... Thanks again for any help... The DAR Library is open to the public for only $6.00/day or some prorated amt. for partial, etc-- it was a fabulous find for me! Go any day you get near that busy city--

I am looking for information on a C. YOST, who is listed as a serving girl in the H. Phelps household in the 1880 Joplin Twp, Jasper Co. Missouri census. For some reason I think her first name was Carolyn or Caroline, but can't remember where I got this idea. It states she was born in Illinois and that her parents came from Germany. she would have been born about 1861-62. She may have been associated with the LaRue or Cleaver families in Joplin about this time or a little later.
