About CLEVELAND, JOHN: For many years, John was something of a shadowy figure from family legend, but during the 1950s, a Cleveland researcher, George A. Martin, unearthed the Abingdon Parish Registry, which not only proved his birth, but also the birth of his father, and the names of his grandparents. His marriage to Elizabeth Coffey has not been documented beyond doubt, but it was a strong family legend, and it has been confirmed by Coffey family bibles, and is accepted by Coffey researchers. By the way, the Coffey ancestry is very interesting leading back to some very early American pioneers--early 1600s.
The Virginia Clevelands are the ancestors of Grover Cleveland.
Not sure about date of birth, 1695-1700.
Settled Bull Run in Prince William County in Virginia, with his father Alexander Cleveland.
Prior to 1734, they moved 60 miles to the southwest locating in a border settlement on Blue Run. Some 6 or 8 miles above it's junction with the Rapidan in Orange County.
Had a plantation or homestead on Blue Run, in Orange County, Virginia.
John and Alexander were deeded land in Orange County in 1734.
He probably married in Virginia. He died on his homestead, Blue Run in Orange County, Virginia.
Says he was a house joiner or builder and a large real estate owner.
In the records of the county court office, Orange County Deeds, (about the beginning of the records 1734) Prince Curtis conveys to John Cleveland about 600 acres of land.
A lady named Sarah C. Abbott writes, "My father gave me this information; that my grandfather's father (John) crossed the ocean from England and settled Virginia; in the first settling of SC, he came to SC and made that his home."
Some of his descendants think that he moved to North Carolina with his children. Martha Coffee was probably related to Rev. James Coffey, who married Elizabeth Cleveland.
