Talk:Benjamin Cleveland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cleveland, Georgia, was not named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland who died in 1806 but for his grandson, Gen. Benjamin Cleveland who was instrumental in establishing White County. Gen. Cleveland was a very prominent landowner in the Nacoochee Valley and gave part of the property on which the town of Clarkesville, Habersham County, is built. I believe Cleveland, TN, is named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.147.226 (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
