Moses CLEVELAND
1651 - Bef 1717 (66 years)-
Name Moses CLEVELAND Birth 1 Sep 1651 Woburn, Middlesex Co, MA 
[1] Gender Male Death Bef 30 Oct 1717 [1] Notes - Moses Cleveland moved from Woburn, Massachusetts, probably as early as 1679-80, when his name last appears on the tax list, or he certainly left soon after Mar 31 1686, the date of son Joseph's birth. He evidently next settled at or near Edgartown, Island of Martha's (then Martin's) Vineyard, in Dukes County, Massachusetts. There he was a farmer, and very probably became a mariner like his father-in-law, Nicholas Norton. Many of his descendants have since followed the seas.
Moses and Ruth (Norton) Cleveland sold land at Edgartown on Mar 8 1694, and soon moved to Southold, New York, where their son Ichabod was born the next year, and where they probably remained till their deaths. There is no record of Moses Cleveland's death, which occurred prior to Oct 30 1717, for a deed of that date executed by his son Ebenezer mentions Moses Cleveland, deceased.
Moses Cleveland was a Volunteer in King Philip's War, 1675-76, accompanied by his brother Samuel.
