John Cleveland Adam's birth is recorded in the Congregational Church in Canterbury and in "Connecticut Births and Christenings", listing Abigail as the mother. Abgail babtized John on 30 Mar 1735 at the Congregational Church in Canterbury, Connecticut. Abigail's will left 1/11's of her estate to her son John Cleveland and another son Benjamin Brown (who's father was Benjamin Brown). Abigail never married John or Benjamin's fathers. But Benjamin's childsupport case is on file in the Windham County Court files. We're looking for similar case file for John Cleveland, Abigail's second son.
John's mother, Abigail Cleveland, is a descendant of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower. And so is John.
