Denise,
I don't have any information on Clevelands in Indiana. So far I haven't
tracked any of mine to Indiana.
Where in TN was Evan Cleveland in 1812? I have a friend working on another
line of the Clevelands and there is a great possibility she can help
you...just need to know where in TN?
I have no information about parents and siblings of Eli. He stated on Grundy
County TN census that he was born in Scotland in 1785. I feel sure I am
dealing with a name change and have also checked Clelland, McClellan,
McClelan, Cleaveland, and my best hopes rest with Kneland or McKneland. As
you can tell, I am grasping at straws.
Margie
Denise, have you talked to Barry Cleveland of Carmi, IL about Evan? I know
Barry has done alot of work on Evan but haven't talk to him in several
years. There were a bunch of Clevelands around Possey Co. IN , White ,
Saline , and Franklin Co, IL from 1820/30 and on.
Good luck, John

John,
You said you have researched the southern line, have you found Evan
Cleveland (Cleaveland) married to Nancy Jordan, son John. I have hit a
wall, along with other researchers, and would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Denise
I am looking for the parents of Evan Cleveland (Cleaveland) (1812 Tenn. -
1890 Ill); married Nancy Jordan, son John Cleveland.
Have you found these names in your use of the film?
Thanks for any help,
Denise
I don't think I can help you, but I have a John Cleveland b.1838 d. 1871 (in
Indiana) married Sarah Wilkinson. Do you have any information about
parents or siblings of Eli?
I am looking for parents/siblings of Evan Cleveland b. 1812 in Tenn. Where
did you find "Scotland" information. I hadn't heard of that possiblity.
Thanks!
Denise
This was sent to me on another list concerning genealogical origins. It may be
of interest to some, not to others. I am posting it to the lists as a courtesy
so that all may read it, but do not wish to see a large discussion on the lists
concerning this subject.

Please folks, the list is for all of us, not to take the info off of the list
and use it only for yourself. Please try to keep as much info on the list as
possible for all to share and maybe make a breakthrough as well.
Thanks,

I have borrowed a microfilm copy of the 1899 Cleveland
Genealogy from Utah and it is at the Family History Center
near the
Galleria here in Houston, if anyone want to use it. It is
here until May 24 unless someone pays the $3.00 to keep it
longer.
The Family History Center is at 1101 Bering just north of
San Felipe. The hours are Wed 2p-6p, T&T 10a-2p and 6p-9p,
2nd and 4th Sat 10a-2p. Phone number is 713-785-2105. When
I was there this evening the microfilm printer was out of
toner and she said it might be next week before it is fixed,
so you might call ahead to check on it. The film is in the
"P" drawer
under Parker, my last name.
Clayton Library has a copy on microcard (different from
microfiche), but there is no way to print it.
I hope this helps someone who does not otherwise have access
to the book.

I would love to hear from anyone researching these names.
Thomas Milton is a son of Jonathan Reeder Cleveland. Thomas
Milton Cleveland was born in SC in 1850, and married Mary
Susan Gray in Panola County, Texas in 1872. Did he come to
Texas alone, or with other family members. Where and when
did Jonathan Reeder Cleveland die?
I would be interested in having a family group sheet on the
Jonathan Reeder Cleveland and Elizabeth Bryce family.
Thank you for any responses.

I was at the library today and got quite excited when I
found the marriage record today for gr-gr-gr-grandparents Wm
M.C. Gray and Elizabeth Jane Winder in Panola County on Sept
25, 1851. William and Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Susan
Gray, married Thomas Milton Cleveland, who had recently
moved from South Carolina.
Elizabeth is buried at Corinth Cemetery in Shelby County.
Her headstone indicates that she lived from 1832 to 1912.
Her name is spelled Winder on the stone, but a family Bible
record had it spelled Windsor, so it is nice to have the
marriage record to clarify the spelling.
Later census listings for Mary Cleveland indicate that her
father, William Gray, may have been born in KY or NC, and
her mother, Elizabeth Winder possibly born in TN. I do not
have any other siblings for them. I have a copy of an 1860
census index page that shows William M.C. Gray in Panola
County on page 387, but did not have time to look at it
today.
There were a few other possibly related marriages:
11-10-1846 M.C. Winder [groom] married ____ Herrin [no
first name listed]
1-15-1857 James N Gray married Caladonia E. Freeland
8-6-1856 Harvey N. Gray married Frances White
12-9-1866 D.L. Cleveland [groom] married M.M. Barnett
[bride]
[many other Gray's, I copied these that were close in date
to the Gray - Winder marriage]
I would love to hear from anyone working on this family.
