Surnames: Creek, Knight, Cleveland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5R.2ADI/35.445 Message Board Post: I'm wondering if there is a connection to Creeks-Knights of Alabama. MY Knights currently disappear in Louisiana with a Grover Cleveland Knight. I don't know who he was yet. There were two Grover Cleveland Knight's listed in Louisiana on the LDS site, one who was Cherokee Native American list as son of a Robert Knight. 1.) Birth: 23 NOV 1884 Centerville, Saint Mary, Louisiana http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100188649413&lds=1&region=11&regionfriendly=North+America&frompage=99 2.) Birth: Before 1888 , Cherokee Tribe, Native American http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100007701702&lds=1&region=11&frompage=99 As for the same name; it's not too surprizing if you look at who was President: http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/gc2224.html Grover Cleveland Twenty-Second President 1885-1889 & Twenty-Fourth President 1893-1897 The First Democrat elected after the Civil War, Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later. One of nine children of a Presbyterian minister, Cleveland was born in New Jersey in 1837. He was raised in upstate New York. As a lawyer in Buffalo, he became notable for his single-minded concentration upon whatever task faced him. At 44, he emerged into a political prominence that carried him to the White House in three years. Running as a reformer, he was elected Mayor of Buffalo in 1881, and later, Governor of New York. Cleveland won the Presidency with the combined support of Democrats and reform Republicans, the "Mugwumps," who disliked the record of his opponent James G. Blaine of Maine. A bachelor, Cleveland was ill at ease at first with all the comforts of the White House. "I must go to dinner," he wrote a friend, "but I wish it was to eat a pickled herring a Swiss cheese and a chop at Louis' instead of the French stuff I shall find." In June 1886 Cleveland married 21-year-old Frances Folsom; he was the only President married in the White House.
