Cleaveland (whaling family)
The Cleavelands were a family of whalers from the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States, from the seventeenth though the nineteenth centuries. They are related to many of the other whaling families of the islands, including the Mayhew, Athearn, Coffin, Look, Luce, and Pease families.
==Moses Cleaveland==
The Cleveland families of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket trace their name to Moses Cleaveland, the first of that name on the islands. He was born September 1, 1651 in Woburn, Massachusetts, and died October 30, 1717 in Southold, New York.
During his life, Moses Cleveland is believed to have been a soldier, mariner, and farmer. He served in the bloody King Philip's War of 1675-1678. In April of 1691, when the Martha's Vineyard town of Edgartown formed a company of militia, he was made second sergeant.
In addition to giving rise to the Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket families, Moses Cleaveland was an ancestor of: General Moses Cleaveland, who laid out the initial plan of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, and for whom that city was named; and Grover Cleveland, 22nd and 24th President of the United States.
