My grandfather was Alonzo Ernest Cleland. His father was William A. cleland. Granddad lived in Cassel. CA Fall river Mills, CA and Anderson, CA. I don't know if there is any connection to your family, but if you are on ancestry.com you can check our my family tree. Fetterman family tree. I just started this about a week ago, so I don't know very much.

betnbud — 2012-04-12 02:31:39Z

There is an incorrect listing of a marriage of Alonzo E.Cleland to Minna B. Zeleny in the Shasta Co information. Alonzo E. Cleland married Minna B. Dungan on Oct 3, 1912. I have a copy of the marriage certificate, and I knew my grandparents.

She married my greatgrandfather William Graham who also lived in Kilsyth in April 1879. She had one brother I know about, David, and 2 sisters Agnes and Jeanie. I have very little other information as have only just started to trace the family tree

Clelands: My Grandfather was Thomas Cleland, born in Glasgow, Scotland. His Father was Samuel Cleland m. Margaret King, then Mary Carey. Thomas's mother died when he was a year old. Samuel was born in County Down in 1834. His Parents were Robert Cleland m. Ann Marner. Robert died in 1834 in Magheralone, Kilmore, County Down. He left land to Moses, James and his wife Ann. She left Ireland some time after Robert's death and moved with her daughter and three sons to Govan, Glasgow, Scotland where the family remained. I have written to Churches, Societies, the Irish Heritage Association, but have not been able to find Robert's burial site.

In July 2011 I visited the Kirk O' Shotts Church in Scotland where I took this picture. The monument is very difficult to read but first entries begin in the 1700's. Hope someone finds the picture meaningful to their family.
Some of the names listed are James Walker, Jean Russell, Will Walkers, Janet Cleland, Margaret Hamilton and John Walker.

eabowe — 2010-11-07 07:59:10Z

Hello Dale,

I pray your e-mail is unchanged since you first posted this thread 12 years ago!

I have three sons of John Cleland (born 29 Mar 1866, Creevycarnonan, Kilmore Parish, County Down, Ireland) who married M. Jane Gray/Grey (abt. 1770, Ballygally, Inch Parish, County Down, Ireland) on 05 May 1791 at Church of Ireland, Inch, County Down, Ireland.

Sons:
1. William Cleland (1792, County Down - 06 May 1876, South Mountain, Dundas County, Ontario.) m. Elizabeth McWilliams (d/o David McWilliams & Nancy Bradshaw). They had 10 children. The eldest, John, was the only child to move away. In 1871 John loaded up his very pregnant wife, Julia Carman Bowen, and their 10 children and moved to Dundas, Rice County, MN, USA.

2. Thomas James Cleland (1798, County Down - bet. 1851-1861, Edwardsburg, Grenville County, Ontario) came to Edwardsburgh Township Grenville County, Ontario before 05 Dec 1835. He m. Mary McCaffrey (parents unknown at this time). They had 7 children. The eldest, Mary, cannot be located after the 1861 census. The remaining children expanded throughout Canada and America.

3. Robert Cleland (birth & death unsubstantiated) m. Margaret McC????? (birth & death unsubstantiated). One known child: William C. Cleland was born in County Down, Ireland, moved to Dundas County, Ontario in 1847 and again moved in 1867 to Dundas, Rice County, Minnesota, USA.

I have a huge Cleland file and am waiting for an Inter-Library Loan resource to arrive so I can begin connecting all of my Clelands!

I would love any insight into Creevycarnonan and that area's migration to Dundas County, Ontario before 1850.

Thanks!

Re: CLELANDS: South Carolina and Georgia

Laura_Martineau — 2009-09-23 16:31:40Z

I am researching a John Cleland, b. 1812 in S.C. He was in the 1850 Census with his wife Parmelia with the following kids:
Drayton b. 1838 in GA
George b. 1840 in GA
Pinckney b. 1843 in GA
Elizbeth b. 1846 in GA
Mary b. 1849 in GA
Also, a young women named Anna Thomas (b 1825) lived with them at this time. John eventually married Anna Thomas in 1854 in DeKalb. Later he was in the Civil War (mustered out and survived - easy to find his records here in ancestry). John and Anna Cleland show up in 1870 and 1880 in Barnes District of Dekalb with the following children:
Mary M. b.1849 (John's daughter with former wife Parmelia)
Lena b.1851 (John's daughter with former wife Parmelia)
Thomas b. 1855
Amanda b. 1858
Caroline b. 1860

Anna has died before the 1880 census.

I am actually trying to figure out who this Anna Thomas' parents are but got down the line with her and John Cleland so I thought I would share in case it helps. My suspisions are that this John Cleland was from Beufort SC because the John Cleland found in Newberry SC was still there later in 1840 when this John is already in Georgia, Dekalb.

Anyway, hope this helps and let me know if anyone knows anything about this Anna Thomas!

Edward A. Cleland, 12/17/1852 - 2/21/1917, Lynchburg, Virginia

sandrabordelon — 2009-03-17 06:20:51Z

Edward A. Cleland

Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 20.--Edward A. Cleland, president of the Cleland-Peck Company and for many years a leading citizen of this city, died this morning at 5 o'clock, at his residence on Norfolk avenue, his death following an illness of three days of pneumonia. Announcement of his death came as a great shock to the city, for it was not genrally known that he was ill. Mr. Cleland suffered an attack of the grip last Friday, which quickly developed into pneumonia, but even then Mr. Cleland's condition was not regarded as critical until yesterday about noon.

Edward Alexander Cleland was born December 17, 1852, in this city, where he resided all his life, with the exception of a few years spent in the South. His parents were James Cleland and Janet Murdock, both natives of Scotland. He was educated in the schools of Lynchburg and at the Blacksburg Agriculturral and Mechanical College, now the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Upon completion of his studies he returned to Lynchburg and entered into business with his father and brother; the late James Cleland under the firm name of James Cleland and Sons. Shortly afterwards he removed to Vicksburg, Miss., where he was superintendent of the gas works, remaining there until the yellow fever epidemic of 1873, when he returned to Lynchburg and re-entered his father's firm.

Mr. Cleland was united in marriage with Miss Ella O. Peck, daughter of the late John C. Peck and Julia Housman Peck, of Botetourt county on October 17, 1882, and besides his wife he is survived by the following children: James E. Cleland, Miss Julia Cleland, Mrs. George Hay, of Detroit, Mich.; Miss Eloise Cleland, Miss Ruth Cleland and Edward A. Cleland, Jr. he also has one surviving sister, Mrs. William H. Snead, of this city.

My best guess, the Clelands are Scottish. But as I am stuck as to who for sure Thomas Cleland, born May 10, 1783 and died July 20, 1850 in Fugundus, Pa., father was I can't be positive. This would have been your Thomas's father. Contact me at rebjsm@yahoo.com and I will get you what I have.

Re: CLELAND - NY>OH>IL

SherriHathaway — 2009-03-04 18:27:28Z

Yes I would love to get more information from you! Would an email address be better to communicate? And a quick question, are the CLELAND's Scottish?

Cleiveland / Cleilland / Cleland, Parish Leswalt, Wigtownshire, Scot

swresearch — 2009-03-01 01:37:39Z

The Wigtownshire, Scotland, list for Leswalt Parish, AD1684
includes :
(property of CHALLOCH), (next to Agnew's LOCHNAW CASTLE )
Mr. Wm. Cleiveland ane excommunicate persone.
Agnes Agnew (his wife ?)
Jean Cleiveland
Andrew Cleiveland.

On the western coast was Laird Brae (spelt several ways).

In 1679 there was a disposition by Andrew McDougall / McDowall of Leffnoll, (up from Stranraer, to the east of Challoch) to William McDougall / McDowall of Garthland of the 4 merkland of Leffnoll under reservation of the life-rent of Elizabeth Cleilland / Cleland, spouse of Andrew McDowall.
Was Cleilland / Cleland also spelt Cleiveland ?

In 1687 / 1689 there was a bond and discharge
by Sir Charles Hay (Dalrymple ?) of Park (Glenluce, Wigtownshire), and William Mcdowgall / McDowall of Garthland, as cautioner, to William Cleilland, usher to H.M. Exchequer.

In May 1697 there was a William Cleilland, dec'd, widow Barbara Fullartoune.

McDowall of Garthland (Barony of Garthland) may have owned
Lochnaw Castle and sold it to Agnew family, and possibly also owned Challoch at some stage.

Did this Cleland family have a descendant,
James Cleland who m. Miss Adair bc.1727
and have grandsons,
James Cleland Adair
and Patrick Adair
who emigrated in the early 1800s to America ?

AD1671 there may have been William and Andrew Houston
connected to above (N.A.S. GD135/783)

There may have been a William Cleavland / Cleland with
Rev. Patrick Adair and Rev. David Houston in Ireland
in the co. Antrim - Larne / Carrickfergus area,
prior to the seige of Derry. He may have associated
with the Agnew family of Kilwaughter.

Any corrections and information on above appreciated. Thankyou.

I did find some of the following info on what must be your family.
Grover Cleland lived w/ brother Mannie, mother was Francis and had a sister named Ella per the 1900 Fed census. Lived in Peeples, Hampton Co
per 1880 census;
M. Elmer married to Francis A Cleland
Siblings:
Erneste 12 years old
Manning G 7 years old
Mary E 5
K Maude 3

I also found some info on your grandfather, some MC records are on Ancestry.
Hope this helps....

Re: CLELANDS: South Carolina and Georgia

hailbug1 — 2009-01-25 18:08:10Z

In my research I found a John C Cleland in the 1840 census, (40) yo living in St Augustine, Fl. .
Also found a John born 1812 in SC that lived in DeKalb, Ga in 1850. His wife was Parnelia.
I don't know if this helps.
One thing I did discover, is In the census, you will see that the parish that the Cleland's lived in is listed as Beaufort, but in fact is around the area known as Coosawhatchee. Now in Jasper county, at one time it was also listed as Hampton co.
I also remember my mother talking about a Grover Cleveland, but can't remember in what relationship to Noah who was my mother's grandfather.
I have been searching for information on Noah's mother, Mary Holland.

Re: CLELANDS OF S.C.
