Subject: Grover Cleveland Ancestry Author: Sherry Sheets [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wed, May 30 2001, 23:27:26 My husband's ggrandfather was Ezra Cleveland who is said to be a direct descendent of President Grover Cleveland. The following is his ggrandfather's obituary. EZRA CLEVELAND, was born in New York State June 4, 1844. Died at Bedford, MO, July 6, 1919, age 75 years, l month & 8 days. The deceased moved with his parents to Illinois when he was only two years old. At the age of seventeen he joined the Union Army, serving two years with the "50th Illinois Regiment". After being severly wounded he was honorably discharged and about one year later was again drafted back into the service serving one year more. He was with General Sherman on his famous march through the South to the sea. He was married to Darneda Medivin Hunsaker July 4, 1865. To this union were born 10 children, eight of which survive being Alexander, Archie & Sinaca Cleveland, Elsie Garzee, Drusilla Scott, Della Yingling, Elizabeth Sweihart, & Bertha Sheets. Can anyone tell me the relation of this family to Grover Cleveland. Family lore has it that he was an uncle. Would appreciate any information.

I have your Ezra in our database, though I have his place of death as Quincy, IL, with burial in Bedford??? Ezra and President Grover Cleveland were sixth cousins ~ their common ancestors were Moses and Ann Winn Cleveland. Ezra's line was as follows: Ezra < Ezra and Chastina Fairbanks Cleveland < Henry and Anna Ward Cleveland < Asa and Mary Dibble Cleveland < Elijah and Alice Lawrence Cleveland < Joseph and Abigail Hyde Cleveland < Samuel and Persis Hildreth Cleveland < Moses and Ann Winn Cleveland.
