CHARLES CLEVELAND

CHARLES CLEVELAND
     His father was Jeremiah Cleveland, brother of the ex-president's father, and he went to Clermont county in 1815, where he was soon joined by his brothers, Stephen and Francis.  They were clock and cabinet makers, and a few old clocks in Clermont county still bear the stamp of "J. and S. Cleveland, makers."  Jerry, as he was called, died at thirty-two leaving two sons.  Of these Frank located in Augusta, Ky., and obtained some prominence, but died young, and his son, Harlan Cleveland, was a deputy United States attorney at Cincinnati during his cousin's term as president.
     The family originated at the town of Cleveland, in Durham, England, and the first noted man of the name was Sir Guy Cleveland, who commanded a company of spearmen at the battle of Poictiers, and by his bravery won the favor of the crown.  His descendant, Moses Cleveland, came to America in early colonial times and settled in New England.  From him all the American branches are descended.  The Rev. Aaron Cleveland, great-grandfather of Grover, was an intimate friend of Benjamin Franklin, and died at the latter's house in 1857.  His son, Presley Cleveland, had nine children, of whom the boys were Jeremiah, Stephen, Francis, William, Charles and Benezette.  Charles lived to be within nineteen days of 100 years old, dying in 1872.

ABIGAIL CLEVELAND COXE

     His son went to Texas in the old Spanish times and when seventy-five years old revisited his father.  He jocularly remarked that no one died a natural death in Texas, as the climate was too healthful, but the population was sufficiently kept down by fatalities.  Singularly enough he returned to Texas, lived to be eighty-four yeas old and was killed in a railroad accident.  Abigail Cleveland, the ex-president's aunt married the Rev. Samuel Hanson Coxe, and her son is Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe.  Her sister Susan, who married a Mr. Pratt, lived to the age of eighty-five.   Indeed, the Clevelands generally are a long lived family.

SUSAN CLEVELAND PRATT.

     An unusually large percentage of the last generation was female, and so relatives bearing the family name are rare.  Benezette, the ex-president's youngest uncle, was a teacher in New York, and at last accounts one of his sons was a doctor and two others were living very quiet lives somewhere.  Details like these may at first appear trivial, but they really have an important bearing as the laws of heredity are being studied now as never before.  The persistence of family traits is among the most curious things in the science of humanity.  With very rare exceptions, when a man attains to great eminence inquiry shows that his family has been growing slowly for two or three generations.  Abraham Lincoln was the great exception.  He stood alone - a man apart from his race.
