Glenn,
I am still working on Amaziah Cleveland's children. I have been corresponding with Mike Cleveland who lives in Missouri the past several weeks. I did some research for him when I went to IN recently and in return he sent me a copy of the Bible page that belonged to Amaziah (1) Cleveland. He is a descendant of Amaziah Cleveland (through Ezer) and this page has always been in his family's possession along with other family pictures and items.
As written it says:
Amaziah Cleveland His Book bought in year 1803 in the Sixtyth year of his age Price 15 (unreadable)
Amaziah Cleveland Abigail Sprage maried January 30th 1770, Sarah Cleland Born march y 26 1772
Abigail Cleveland Died March y 25 1774
Mersena Cle Born September y 19th 1775
Meres Cle Born March y 13th 1776
Addin Cle Born December y 30th 1777
Zatter Cle Born April; y 7th 1780
Ezer Cle Born October y 12th 1781
Juna Cle Born December y 9th 1783
Persis Cle Born August y 10th 1787
Abigail Cle Born August y 27th 1789
Elphia Cle Born October y 5th 1791
Written at the bottom in different handwriting:
Abigail married John Miller, Bryantville, Ind.

There is no listing for a son Amaziah. It is strange that he did not list Sarah Marvin as his 2nd wife and the mother of his children. It is also strange as I mentioned before that there is only 6 months between Mersena and Meres. I am not worried so much about the dates. I am trying to document that Meres (my ggg grandfather) is a son of Amaziah. As far as I am concerned, this is a good document and I am satisfied that Meres is the son of Amaziah (1). I don't think the Cleveland Genealogy volumes are infallible and I believe that the listing of Amaziah as a son of Amaziah is incorrect as well as the omission of Amaziah's marriage to Abigail Sprage. As I mentioned earlier, I was in IN recently and did some research and am still trying to sort it out. I am inclined to believe Marsena may be Amaziah's father. Will work on that line soon.
Regards,
Jafra
