About William Cleveland

Deacon William Cleveland

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122780622/william_cleveland

William was born in 1770. He is the son of Aaron Cleveland and Abiah Hyde. He passed away in 1837 in Black Rock, Niagara, New York (which is now located in Buffalo, Erie, New York).

He was a silversmith.. Examples of his work are presented here at a silversmiths' collection at AMERICAN SILVERSMITHS.

Taken from "The Cleveland Genealogy - Deacon William Cleveland resided first at Norwich, where he learned the trade of silversmith, watch and clockmaker. His farm was on Bean Hill. His jewelry shop, the first house south of the Methodist E. Church, is still remaining, now A.A. Adams' tavern. Here he manufactured spoons; on the back of the handle of which the name CLEVELAND was embossed in bold, handsome letters. Specimens still exist; one of these spoons was presented to his great-granddaughter Ruth, a daughter of President Grover Cleveland; an account of the presentation appeared in '"The Sun, N.Y., Feb 6, 1893" - Soon after marriage he set up in business at Worthington, Massachusetts. He removed to Salem where he remained in business a few years thence went to New York. However, he lived most of his life at Bean Hill, an outskirt of Norwich. He died while visiting Hon. Lewis F. Allen, his son-in-law and cousin as well"
