Subject: [SCOCONEE] CSA Service of Jonathan Reeder Cleveland (1828-1909)
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2001 22:29:26 -0500


Jonathan Reeder Cleveland, my gr-gr-grandfather, was bon in
Pickens District, South Carolina, the son of Eli Cleveland
and Mary/Polly Reeder. He married three times and had 16
children. He is buried at Townville Baptist Church
Cemetery, Anderson Co, SC.
I recently received the folowing Confederate Abstracts from
the South Carolina Archives and History Center. I requested
both pension and service records, and have not heard
anything back about a pension, so am assuming that there was
not one. If that is not an accurate assumption and there is
another source for this, I would love to hear about it. I
also would be interested in exchanging information about his
siblings or descendants.
