Michael Conlon has brought so much history to us through his family history. In this E-Mail on June 11, 2012, he tells of his 6th Great Grandfather, *CLICK HERE TO VIEW ICHABOD CLEVELANDS TOMB STONE IN THE CHURCH OF THE GREEN CEMETERY* Mr. Meli, In our continuing work on my family's genealogy, we've learned about Ichabod Cleveland (b: June 28, 1765/ d: Aug 12, 1844). I believe that Ichabod (my 6th Great Grandfather) is also buried at the Church on the Green. I found a listing for his gravestone on the internet, but I haven't been back up to the church to locate and photograph it. I don't know if he is among your Revolutionary War headstones and listings. Ichabod served in the Revolution as a Drummer, when he enlisted at the age of 16. According to the book: The Genealogy of the Cleveland Family (http://ia700506.us.archive.org/3/items/genealogyofcleve01clev/genealogyofcleve01clev.pdf) he is reported to have been present at the execution of Major John Andre (who was a co-conspirator of Benedict Arnold). He was later (1802) commissioned as a Lieutenant of Artillery in the Bergen Militia. I don't know much more about him, I'm still working on it, but I thought I'd email you on the subject. Mike |
