- Hon. Stephen Cleveland was in the Revolutionary Army and rose to the rank of Orderly Sergeant; enlisted Aug. 19, 1782, in Capt. Benjamin Durkee's company of Matrosses, Conn., troops, and served 1 year with him, stationed at Fort Trumbull, New London Co., Conn., and Fort Griswold, Groton Co., Conn.,
Stephen applied, Aug. 16, 1832, for a pension as a Revolutionary soldier. In his declaration he stated that he was then 67 years of age, that he moved from Conn., at the end of the Revolutionary war to Plainfield, New Hampshire, where he remained 4 or 5 years, and then removed to Bethel, Vermont. He was a pensioner until decease, and afterward his widow was a pensioner.
About 1802 he was commissioned a Justice of the Peace, and held the office to 1832, during which time he officiated at most of the marriages in that section of Vermont. A Masonic Lodge was established in Bethel about 1816, of which he became Master. He was several times elected to the Legislature and once to the Governor's council.
