- ↑ Cleveland, Edmund Janes, and Horace Gillette Cleveland. The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families: an attempt to trace, in both the male and the female lines, the posterity of Moses1 Cleveland who came from Ipswich, County Suffolk, England, about 1635, was of Woburn, Middlesex County, Massachusetts; of Alexander Cleveland of Prince William County, Virginia; and of ancient and other Clevelands in England, America and elsewhere; with numerous biographical sketches; and containing ancestries of many of the husbands and wives; also a bibliography of the Cleveland family and a genealogical account of Edward Winn of Woburn and of other Winn families. (Hartford, Connecticut: Case, Lockwood, and Brainard Company, 1899)
Vol. 1; p 78. - ↑ The Cleveland Genealogy says George Cleveland m. Sarah Hall, d/o John and Mercy, b. 1707. It does not explain how it knows any of this.
A couple of deeds are useful confirming her father was John Hall. Vol. 108, folio 99 rev. 19 Jul 1759: John Hall of Walpole Miller for "Love good will and affection" "unto my loving daughter Sarah Cleavland" "for her more Comfortable Subsistance" land lying in Walpole with barn and orchard including "West end of my house and half my Cellar".
Vol. 113, folio 108 29 Oct 1765: John Hall of Walpole Miller for "love good will and affection" "unto my loving daughter Sarah Cleaveland" 1/2 acre of land in Walpole bounded in part by "my son Benj'a Halls land".
Vol. 97, folio 50 2 Jun 1758: John Hall of Walpole Miller for "Love good Will & Affection" unto my loving Son Benjamin Hall gives Ten acres in Walpole plus a parcel of seven acres.
Source:DeLue, Willard. Story of Walpole, 1724-1924 mentions John Hall as one of the founders of Walpole. It says, "Out of the mass of Halls it is almost impossible, with the scant records available, to pick the John Hall who first appears in the Walpole territory in 1721." This source ends up speculating he might be a John Hall b. 1698, but that is clearly impossible as such a person would be too young to be the father of Sarah Cleveland who had her first child in 1732/33 (if he married right upon attaining legal age in 1719 and had a child within a year, she would be about 13 when the grandchild was born).
Surprisingly, only one Sarah Hall is found in a record search born to a father John from 1700-1710. That is Sarah Hall, d/o John and Mary, b. Groton 3 Feb 1705-6. Groton records also show the birth of a son Benjamin to this couple 7 Jun 1703. (This assumes that John and Marcy and John and Marey are likely the same couple given that there are no other Hall births with a father John.) Assuming these are his only children (as it appears), he would be of the right age to be the son of Christopher Hall of Groton, listed p. 654 of Source:Hall, David Brainerd. Halls of New England, Genealogical and Biographical.
It is presumed this is the correct identification since everything is consistent with what is known.
