From the Scotland Burying Ground in Scotland, Conn. This is a case where the town was Windham at the time, but since has broken off. The Clevelands could be my most successful gravestone line. Benjamin's father Aaron is at Woburn, Mass. His grandson and great-grandson are in New Brunswick. And I have everyone in between the last Cleveland and me. So, that's six generations (starting with my grandmother, the last two generations of us don't have gravestones yet) back to Nathan Cleveland, then I'm not sure about his father Benjamin Cleveland in Nova Scotia. Then two generations thereafter. Cool.
