Since I am the researcher who compiled the descent of our Cleveland lineage from Roger and Dorcas Cleveland, I am replying to this part of your e-mail.
After many years of searching many, many records I have found that there probably was not a 1st wife for Roger Cleveland, and that Dorcas (surname unknown) was the mother of all his children. Her surname may or may not have been Alexander, there is, however, nothing else (except the naming of the children) to indicate this. Also no one else seems to have not found any new data either. I had posted this correction earlier on this CFC list.
As far as the lineage on Ancestry, back to Uctred de Clieveland, that was taken from the old 1899 Genealogies of the Cleaveland and Cleveland Families books, which you can find on the Indernet. There is no doubt a lot of truth to this (according to the Doomsday Book), but there are also a lot or errors in these old 1899 books, that must be documented.
The John Rowzee who witnessed the deed between Roger Cleveland and Simon Miller has no connection to Roger Cleveland, he was related to Simon Miller, and I have not found our John Cleveland's wife was a Rowzee.
New records are being found daily, so we just have to keep looking.
