Hi James,

I am returning to research after a year or so away,so.....
I found in Taylor County records: Robert Harrison Cleveland b.circa 1835 in GA and d.1889 in Taylor County, GA, from Typhoid Fever. Robert Harrison Cleveland was the son of Absalom Carter Cleveland b.circa 1811 in Crawford County, GA and d.circa 1858 in GA, and Lucinda D. Harp b.17 October, 1833 in Upson County, GA. I found no evidence of any brothers to Robert Harrison, only 3 sisters, Fannie L. Cleveland, Mattie V. Cleveland and Emma E. Cleveland.

Absalom Carter Cleveland is reportedly the son of William Cleveland b 8 April 1766 in Culpepper County, VA, who married Rhoda Wright in Crawford County, GA, 4 August, 1865.I have no siblings for Absalom Carter Cleveland, but there may have been siblings.

William Cleveland, above, is reportedly the son of Jacob Cleveland, b. 6 May, 1729, in Culpepper County, VA and died 13 June 1799, in Elberton, GA Elbert County, who married Mildred White (Big Millie). The rest you probably already know.

I have been trying to make a definite connection between William Robert "Bob" Cleveland, born 1870 in Taylor County, (my deceased father-in-law), to other Clevelands who had come to GA. His death certificate lists his father as George and his mother's maiden name as Bland. I have found no George Clevelands, however I found the Robert Harrison Cleveland mentioned above. Robert Harrison Cleveland married Tansy Ann Matilda Brand in Macon County, GA 14 January, 1866. They had three daughters and a son. Their son was born 23 April 1870, but 1880 census records list his name Robert M., or possibly Robert W.. The 1880 census record is the last mention of this son. He just seems to vanish.

In the 1850 census, there is a William R. Clevelan (38), wife Sara (33), children Susan J. (14), James T. (12), Wiley B. (10), Mary A. (8), Allen L. (6), Effy Z. (4) and catharine (1) living in Meriwether County. Meriwether is very close to Crawford and Taylor Counties.

Perhaps some of this might lead somewhere for you.

Kathryn

I visited Culloden GA, Monroe Co., today. I visited with Mrs. Dan Haygood, an absolutely delightful 90-years old young resident of Culloden. She had several books, obituaries, and records that mention Wilde C. Cleveland b. 9 Apr 1836 and d. 31 Oct 1904, son of Washington Cromwell Cleveland b. 20 May 1803 and d. 8 May 1869,and Edna Armstrong b. 13 Sep 1803 and d. 4 June 1841. Both Washington Cromwell Cleveland and Wilde C. Cleveland were pastors (at different times) at the Sharon Primitive Baptist Church, located at Strouds Crossroads, Monroe Co., GA. Records of this are reported to be on microfilm at the GA Archives Bldg. and Mercer University Library in Macon. There was also an Allen Cleveland pastor there in August 1833. The connection with Crawford and Taylor Counties, GA is that a W.C. Cleveland (probably Washington Cromwell) was one of the first settlers of Crawford County, GA. As far as I could discern, Wilde C. Cleveland was referred to as Elder W.C. Cleveland. He is buried beside his third wife, Nannie Swint Cleveland b. 13 Jan 1840 and d. 10 May 1909 in the Culloden Baptist Church Cemetery. There is more, but I need to sign off. More later...Kathryn

Author: Kathryn Cleveland [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat, Jun 26 2004, 22:40:37 Thank you so much, Grace. I suppose Cleaveland Coffey is the son of Jane Cleveland and Chelsey Coffey? Kathryn Cleveland [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Grace S. Green [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat, Jul 03 2004, 11:58:51 Kathryn; I am so happy you found you Wilde. The reason I couldn't find him in my records is that I have him listed as Wyley Clayton Cleveland, Baptist Preacher, born 9 April 1836 in Crawford County, Georgia.
