Ahh, never mind, found an old letter and some photocopies sent to my Great Aunt in 1971 from some researchers, all the photocopies are from the book I'm sure we all know very well and I was delighted to find online for free.

My line is Moses Cleveland>>Aaron Cleveland>>Aaron Cleveland>>Aaron Cleveland>>Aaron Cleveland>>William Cleveland>>Francis Cleveland>>Francis Cleveland who immigrated to Adelaide, Australia in 1852.

Feel free to contact me if your from this line.
