The last sourced individual I have is George Henry CLEVELAND (b.1871 Wisconsin) though it lists his parents as being born in New York. Wonder if there is some distant connection?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570172479541632479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-27871163173098699542010-08-20T07:58:54.777-07:002010-08-20T07:58:54.777-07:00Sandy, I would love to correspond with you.

I do have William's death certificate and it lists his mother as Sylvia, it may be possible that her maiden name was Riley, hence the Middle name for William. Another researcher said she was sent that info from one of her cousin's. I have done a search for Sylvia Riley with no results. It is not sure if William was born in RI or Mass. You are right he does not show up in the CLEVELAND FAMILY books however there was another William Riley Cleveland born 1839 in Penn., I really wonder if they are connected somehow.<br /><br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-2782185803613705962010-08-09T10:35:03.064-07:002010-08-09T10:35:03.064-07:00I decend from William Riley Cleveland and Lydia Sh...I decend from William Riley Cleveland and Lydia Shaw through their daughter Sylvia Cleveland. Looks like you have done your search well. You found exactly what I have on them. I also have William's death record, it states his mother was a Sylvia and later I found out through someone else that her maiden name was Riley,that is probably why William had Riley as his middle name. I did a search on her with no results. I have a copy of an old photo of William and Lydia and their daughter Lucretia who married Stephen Partlow, my John Partlow married her sister Sylvia Cleveland<br /><br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-31710706141734261512009-12-30T11:26:52.009-08:002009-12-30T11:26:52.009-08:00Cathy, thanks, I will!

While I'm not so sure about obituaries for this time period, it's likely there was a death notice, especially for William (I've noticed it was the men, and not necessarily the women, that had a death notice in the local papers before the early 1900s).Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-61546048251079025872009-12-30T06:05:24.985-08:002009-12-30T06:05:24.985-08:00Congrats on finding a great lead and probably brea...Congrats on finding a great lead and probably breaking down a wall.
