About CLEVELAND, JOHN: For many years, John was something of a shadowy figure from family legend, but during the 1950s, a Cleveland researcher, George A. Martin, unearthed the Abingdon Parish Registry, which not only proved his birth, but also the birth of his father, and the names of his grandparents. His marriage to Elizabeth Coffey has not been documented beyond doubt, but it was a strong family legend, and it has been confirmed by Coffey family bibles, and is accepted by Coffey researchers. By the way, the Coffey ancestry is very interesting leading back to some very early American pioneers--early 1600s.
