Looking forward to more of the file,
Miriam. I need to get on the ball
and do the rest of the files I have
for my ancestors but I'm still wrapped up in the early colonial period ancestors.
I am hoping to get this line, or maybe Levi's wife's line (Clarissa CLEVELAND) back to the colonial days, myself. I think she'll tie into the New England pioneer, Moses CLEVELAND (d. 1701/2). I have found a few Clarissas, but none of them are mine.
