Clark Cleaveland, War of 1812 Veteran

While geocaching near McPherson Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio, we noticed the gravestone of Clark Cleaveland, a War of 1812 veteran. At the time I thought it was quite likely that we shared mutual ancestors, Moses & Ann (Winn) Cleaveland, and we did. What I did not know at the time is that we also shared Backus and Spencer ancestors.



A comprehensive book of Cleaveland descendants by Edmund James, entitled The genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland families : ...and a genealogical account of Edward Winn ...1899, can be found online at HeritageQuest
