History of Chautauqua County New York and its People,

by John P. Downs, Boston, 1921.

These pages show that John Cleland, Jr. arrived in Charlotte, Chautauqua County, New York in 1810 and that John Cleland, Sr. and most of the rest of his family arrived shortly thereafter (Page 125). The following pages (538-540) give an extensive biography for Susan Cleland Isbell, to give a thorough background for the Cleland Family of Charlotte, NY and its lineage back to the immigrant ancestor James Cleland who came to America from Edinburgh, Scotland in 1750. Biographies of other members of the Cleland Family in Chautauqua County, NY then follow.
