Carolyn - Found your message while searching the web. How exciting! I'm a Cleveland, Too! I descend from Jacob Cleveland / Millie White; Jeremiah; William; John Clark Cleveland/ Susan Fannie Cleveland who married John Benjamin Morris (my great grandparents).
Would love to exchange information with you!
