Cleland Cousins
Cleland Cousins: A Genealogy and Biographical Album of Cleland and Allied Families by Glenn William Oliver and Rebecca Deal Oliver traces the lineage and lives of the Cleland family and their connections to various other families such as Baker, Clair, and Collins, spanning centuries and continents. This comprehensive genealogical work details the Clelands’ origins in Lanarkshire, Scotland, their settlement in County Down, Ireland, and their eventual migration to America. The authors meticulously compile records from tombstones, wills, family letters, and personal accounts to create a detailed narrative of the Cleland family’s history, focusing particularly on Samuel Cleland, who emigrated to the United States in the early 19th century, and his descendants.
