She is the daughter of Martin Cleveland. He is buried in the Beeler Cemetery. He served in the American Revolution in Captain Pemberton's Company at the Battle of Kings Mountain, 7 October 1780. His brothers Joseph and Willery also served in the war. Three Beelers by those names were awarded land for their services during the war (North Carolina Land Grants in Tennessee, 1778-1791). According to a book on Revolutionary War Pensioners, Jacob was receiving a pension in 1840 at the age of 89. (This information is questionable.
