[> Subject: Re: Col Benjamin Cleveland 1838 Author: James M. Cleveland, Jr. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, Apr 24 2006, 17:37:11 I believe this is the Cleveland you are looking for. General Benjamin Cleveland, for whom Cleveland, Georgia is named, was a hero of the War of 1812, fought with and was a friend of Andrew Jackson. He was a planter, soldier, builder, and politician, was elected to the Georgia legislature as a Republican for over 20 years and had extensive land holdings in North Georgia. These included the Nacoochee Valley, near Helen, Georgia, the Tallulah Gorge, and most of the land now covered by the waters of Lakes Rabun and Burton in Rabun County. He lived for many years in Clarksville, Georgia. General Ben led numerous campaigns against the Indians in the southeast.
