William Franklin Cleveland (1803-1888), son of William Cleveland, son
of Alexander and Margaret (Doolittle) Cleveland can be removed from the
possibilities Gerald Pierce gives. William Cleveland moved to Kentucky
from Virginia with his wife, Margaret Wilson Cleveland and children.
William Franklin Cleveland married Cassandra Scott in Kentucky and had
six children. When she died in 1849 he married Elizabeth Stump Woolery.
She was a widow and he had no children with her. He appears in every
census from 1830 through 1880 in Richland township, Harrison county,
Kentucky. He died in Kentucky, presumably at his daughter Nancy's home.
So that eliminates one William Cleveland. Good luck on the other children.
