Cleaveland, Moses, 1754-1806
Moses Cleaveland was a Connecticut lawyer, legislator, and army officer who became the Director and agent for the Connecticut Land Company. Prior to leading its first surveying and exploring party into the Connecticut Western Reserve in 1795 and founding the City of Cleveland, Ohio in 1796, Cleaveland sought permission from the Six Nations to survey and settle the land that they traditionally controlled.
