Cleveland, Georgia, was not named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland who died in 1806 but for his grandson, Gen. Benjamin Cleveland who was instrumental in establishing White County. Gen. Cleveland was a very prominent landowner in the Nacoochee Valley and gave part of the property on which the town of Clarkesville, Habersham County, is built. I believe Cleveland, TN, is named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.147.226 (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scars of Independence by Holger Hoock

"As both Patriots and Loyalists recognized the war in the South as particularly violent, predictably, each side blamed the other. Among the most notorious rebels was Colonel Benjamin 'Bull Dog' Cleveland, who terrorized Loyalists in the Yadkin country. When Ferguson's proclamation just before Kings Mountain mentioned the rebels 'murdering an unarmed son before the aged father, and afterwards lopped off his arms,' he was referring to an infamous incident involving the 'Bull Dog.' In another instance, Cleveland's men broke out two Loyalists from a prison, stood one of them 'on a log, put the noose around his neck, threw the end of the rope over a tree limb, fastened it, and kicked the log out from under him.' Cleveland then gave the second Loyalist a choice: he, too, would be hanged, unless he cut off his own ears. The man grabbed a knife, sliced off his ears, and was let go."
