General Notes: Husband - Arthur Cleeland

---

He was a native of County Down, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States about 1791, owing to religious and political troubles in his native land. He was forced to leave home in disguise to escape violence, and was con­cealed near the seaboard for three months while his family disposed of his pro­perty, after which they joined him and came to this country, settling in the Buffalo Valley, Pennsylvania. About 1800 he came to Butler county, purchased 400 acres of land, and built his cabin on the farm later owned by Samuel Cleeland, in Muddy Creek township. With him came his wife and family.
