• Notes

  He spelled his name Samuell. One of the first to settle in Connecticut. He served as a soldier in King Philip's war 1675/76. He held the rank of Sergeant. A petition was written to the army from his brother Moses to release him early as he, Moses was injured, and could not bring in the crops without Samuel's help. He was released. Samuel Cleveland was one of the earliest settlers in Plainfield (Canterbury) CT, probably about 1694 and was followed by his brother Josiah, of Chelmsford MA, soon after, and subsequently by this brothers Edward, of Kingston, RI, and Isaac of Woburn MA. Canterbury was not incorporated as a town until 1703, and was previously a part of Plainfield.
