Can anyone help this gentleman out? I too have heard the story of the newspaper, but what I heard was that the name CLEAVELAND would not find across a column during Pres. Cleveland's time in office. Please respond to the list as I think this would be an interesting discussion!

I am guess that you can because your name is "Cleaveland" and your email address reflects "Ohio." I have looked in the History of Cleveland site and gotten nowhere; but lost. I am trying to find out when, and why, the name of Cleveland was changed from Cleaveland. The Encyclopedia Britannica says it happened in 1832 because a newspaper needed more room for its Masthead. That sounds doubtful (the reason, not the date), and I wonder if you know more about it. The name of the newspaper, for example. I immediately thought of the Plain Dealer because it is a somewhat long name, but that didn't begin until the 1840s. While looking at your site, however, I came across what I guess is a sub-site on the family name "Hope." I wonder if you have, or know of, a site on the family name "Hopes." Thanks for any information you can supply, and I enjoyed viewing your web site.
