Comentarios: The son of Capt. William Cleveland of Salem (Mass.). He began his career in Salem, and apparently went to Ohio, married there, and had a son, born about 1840. He next appears as a landscape and miniature painter in Rochester (N.Y.) but may have been in NYC c. 1839, since J.A. Cleveland drew ten plates for John Delafield's Inquiry into the Origins of the Antiquities of America, published in NYC 1839. His wife may have been the artist whose name was listed as Mrs. J.R. Cleveland (see entry) in the 1847 American Institute exhibition.
