CLEVELAND, HON. CHAUNCEY F., son of Silas 3d, m. Few men in Conn., by their own exertions and industry, and with as much opposition, have risen as high into public favor as Gen. Cleveland. As a military officer, he had the entire support of the militia of the state, and was rapidly promoted to the offices of Gen. and Maj. Gen. Being a lawyer by profession, he located himself in his native place, and has risen in his practice to the head of the bar in Windham county. He has repeatedly been honored with a seat in both branches of the state legislature, of which he has filled the place of clerk of the house, and one of its most efficient and pop- ular speakers of the lower house, and afterward governor of the state, and four years member of congress ; all which, with several minor offices, he executed to the satisfaction of the party who elected him to the many places of public trust to which he has been exalted. He married in early life. He had but two children :
1. John, Esq., who d. unmarried.
2. Delia M. married A. A. Burnham, Esq.
JOHN received a collegiate education at Trinity, and prepared himself for the practice of law, and located at New Haven for the pursuit of his profession, and soon after was appointed clerk of the District Court of the U. S. in the District of Conn., which he accept- ed, and acceptably performed for a few years only, when that fell destroyer, the consumption, seized upon his vitals ; he resigned his office, and returned to the tender care of a kind mother, in hopes of relief; but recovery was impossible, and he soon after died in early manhood, unmarried, in 1852, in his father's family, lamented by his numerous friends.
DELIA M., his only daughter, married Mr. Burnham, a respect-

able lawyer, settled at Danbury ; but finding the health of his wife declining, he removed to Hampton, that she might have the tender care of her parents, where she, after the birth of a child, also died of the same disease, which deprived Gen. Cleveland of all his children.
EDWARD, JUN., son of Edward, resided in the north-west part of the town of Canterbury.
Besides the three distinct families of Clevelands, in Canterbury, viz., Josiah, Samuel and Edward, there were BENJAMIN and Anna Cleveland, his wife, found in Canterbury about 1725.
Benjamin and Ann, (Church,) his wife, are described as of Can- terbury, in their deed of land in Hartford, with Elizabeth Church, of . Hartford, to James Harrison, of Hartford, Feb. 13, 1723-4. Ann was a sister of Elizabeth. Benjamin perhaps had children born at Canterbury. This family appear on the Hampton record first in 1733, and their son Benjamin, by Windham record, b. Aug. 30, 1733; Moses, b. July 20, 1736 ; Chloe, b. May 30, 1744. Ann, his wife, d. Oct. 21, 1754. ( Windham Rec.) It is probable that two of the above families who settled at Canterbury, Moses and Ben- jamin, were the sons of Aaron, of Woburn, Mass.
CLEVELAND, EPHRAIM, of Hampton, and his wife Mary, had issue recorded at Hampton, viz .: Mary, b. March 30, 1768; Frank- lyn, b. Aug. 13, 1779. (Hamp. Rec.) Dollee, his dau'r, bap. Nov. 18, 1770 ; also, Mary ; Ephraim, Jun., bap. Oct. 10, 1773 ; Grif- fin, bap. Oct. 6, 1776, and Franklyn, bap. Feb. 6, 1780. Mary, wife of Ephraim, admitted to the church in Hampton, Nov. 18, 1770. Solomon Cleveland also admitted to the same church, March 4, 1744, and Rebecca Cleveland admitted also, March 7, 1742. The forego- ing are the different families of this name who congregated together in the towns of Canterbury and Hampton, in the early settlement of each. They married into most of the old and respectable families of Canterbury, viz,, with the Bradfords, Paines, Adams's, &c., and were several of them men of influence and distinction, the noblesse of the town. And now not a name of these several original families is found in Canterbury, to point to its present population, or the in- quiring stranger, the resting-places of their own immediate ances- tors ; the cemetery is left alone to do this duty.
