I am looking for anyone related to James Cleveland, born about 1735 in Loudoun County, VA. (parents Alexander Cleveland and Margaret Doolittle) He married Frances (Hannah?) Johnston around 1763, and had children, Johnson Cleveland, born about 1765, Frances Cleveland, born about 1765, Hannah Cleveland, born c. 1767, and George Cleveland, born before 1783. He was a Captain in the Revolution and served under George Washington at the Battle of Yorktown; was born and died in Loudoun County.

I would be very interested in corresponding with any descendants of his.

Hi Judy: My line veers away from yours, but we are all cousins of one sort or the other. The reason for my post is that I am interested in the military action of our ancestors, and read early in my first research efforts that there had been five Cleveland brothers who served with G. Washington at Yorktown. Wouldn't it be fun to find out if it is fact or fiction? Do you have the documentation of your direct ancestor's service? I have confirmation from DAR on Jeremiah and Jacob (two of my line who were veterans), but no service records, and doubt they were at Yorktown. More likely Kings Mtn and Cowpens considering where they lived.
Care to coordinate some efforts with me in this regard? Let me know. Thanks..
