On a railway-related topic, I am seeking details of the life of Charles DeWolf Cleveland (m. Margaret Fitch, Aylsford NS), who lived at Claremont, Annapolis County ca. 1850-1860. What was his occupation? I have family details (children, wife etc.) but I would like to know how he made money to enable him to send at least two sons to school to study mechanical engineering? Also, having difficulty locating Claremont, Annapolis County. Has the name of the community changed over the years?

What is the is the source of your information? One of the list of urls at the end of your message? There is a submitted IGI entry for Charles DeWolf Cleveland. which say he was born in Horton, Kings Ccounty in 1820 and died 29 May 1892 Rounthwaite, Manitoba. There are 4 WorldConnect family trees including him on rootsweb.com. One WC has his wife and children but the place where the children were born is given as Clarmont, which does not exist.
