I recently found some info on Moses Cleveland and was wondering if it sounds familiar to anyone. All I have is the book sources so far.

In (The History of the City of Cleveland 1796-1896, p22) it "states that William Cleveland, of York, England, who died at Hinckley, in Leicestershire, in 1630, was the remote ancestor of the American Clevelands. It is also shown that a lineal decendant of his, whose name was Moses, and who was a housewright, or builder, by trade, emigrated from England and landed at Boston in the year 1635, where he remained for several years.... This Moses Cleveland was a man of intelligence and enterprise....But this Moses, who had now become a freeman, feeling that he had ancestral blood in his veins of a superior quality, thought that it out to be transmitted, and after a brief courtship married ...Anne Winn.... The result was that he became the accredited progenitor of all the Clevelands born in the United States- a race not only numerous, but noted for great moral worth and many noble traits of character."
(from "English Notes" by Prentiss Glazier in The Connecticut Nutmegger Vol. 12 No. 4, p578)
"Moses Cleveland, son of Isaac and Alice, was baptized at St. Stephen's in Ipswich Co., Norfolk, 2 Feb 1621. Aaron, another son, was baptized 1 May 1623 and buried 7 Apr 1627; Enoch, another son, was baptized 8 May 1625. Alice, the mother, was buried 4 May 1626; her husband, Isaac, was buried 3 Jun 1626, 'leaving six children to the charge of the parish.'" At this time, it's unknown where Prentiss got his information.
