The Cleveland Line (photocopy, no author, publisher, etc. attached.): "Passenger ship lists show that Edward Winn, his wife Joanna, his daughters Ann and Elizabeth came to America with their indentured apprentice Moses Cleveland about 1635, disembarking probably at either Boston or Plymouth, Mass. Edward Winn was a shipbuilder and housewright. Moses was apprenticed as a joiner or carpenter. Indenturing was a common practice with orphaned children in England and other countries, and we can speculate that his brothers were also sold for their keep and to learn a trade not much later.
Moses soon worked out his indenture and learned his trade as a carpenter well. He was made a freeman in 1643 in Woburn, Massachusetts and gained considerable prominence in local politics. On Sept 26, 1648, he married Ann Winn..... He soon acquired more land and built a masonary house that became a historical landmark. He was admitted to full communion with the First Church of Charlestown in 1692."
