Relative to the current debate on the spelling: Long before the founding of the city of Cleveland, OH, some of our ancestors spelled the name as "Cleveland". Micro-film of the original March 12, 1713/14 probate records, dealing with the survivors of Josiah Cleaveland, indicates that the name was spelled "Cleavland" (yes w/o the "e") by the court, but both young John and Henry signed using the "Cleveland" spelling. If anyone would like a .jpg scan of this record, just ask. Dick F
