Middlesex Register of Probates, XLVII: 37b — Amount of real and personal estate of JONATHAN CLEAVELAND late of Acton, taylor, dec'd intestate, £40. 12s May 30, 1765, £,1. 7. 6. added to estate. Joseph Cleaveland, his son, administrator, gives Oct. 16, 1764, bond for £500. John Craggan, jun., yeoman, was attorney for Joseph Cleaveland, and Joseph Robbins, yeoman, administered with him. In the account of Joseph Cleavland, adm., Dec. 1, 1767, is charged "coffin for daughter Elizabeth."

The records are by no means complete or accurate. According to the record found by Thaddeus S.7 Cleveland among his father's papers, while settling up his estate, Mr. Cleveland claims Joseph Cleveland as the name of his great great grandfather. This record states that Joseph Cleveland came from Ireland to America into the Town of Pepson, Maine, there married his first wife and had three chiidren, a son and two daughters, afterwards a second wife. The Doctor Cleveland of New Brunswick was a son of second wife. Anna, Betsey, Joseph, were the children of the first wife. Joseph Cleveland, Jun., came from Pepson into Acton and there married Dolly Cragin. But Mr. Cleveland cannot vouch for the correctness of the record.
