History of Chester County, Pennsylvania: With Genealogical and Biographical; By John Smith Futhey, Gilbert Cope 1881. Page 498-499
=================================================
"CLEAVER, Isaac, married (about 1794) Ann Sturges, and settled near "King of Prussia," in Montgomery County. He was a blacksmith, and had the following children: Lydia, Ann, Hannah, Hiram, Samuel, Phineas, Catharine, John, and Sarah, all of whom save John lived to a good old age. About 1822 the father and mother, with four of their children, accompanied Rev. Thomas Roberts, pastor of the Great Valley Baptist Church, Tredyffrin township, and some others, as missionaries to the Cherokee Indians in Virginia, returning after an absence of about two years. Isaac died in March, 1828, aged 60 years, and Ann, his wife, August 1836, aged 63.

Hiram, the first son, married Jane, daughter of Enoch Abraham, November, 1832, and for a number of years followed his occupation, blacksmithing, at the Spread Eagle shops, Radnor, Pa. After the death of his father-in-law he purchased of the estate the homestead farm, on the Lancaster turnpike, one mile east of Spread Eagle. The railroad built by the State-now Pennsylvania Railroad - passed through the property, upon which there was a station named for the owner, Hiram Cleaver. This farm he owned until 1869, when he sold it to J. Henry Askin, who had purchased a tract of several hundred acres adjacent to the railroad station, the name of which he had changed to Wayne. Jane, wife of Hiram Cleaver, died April 1854, and in 1856 he married Sarina D., daughter of John Jones, of Tredyffrin township. He served as representative in the Legislature, session of 1857 and 1858. He was also fifteen years justice of the peace in Radnor township. After the sale of his Radnor township farm, he purchased one of J. P. Hutchinson, known as "Cottage Home," one-fourth of a mile north of Leopard, in Easttown township, which was his residence until the time of his death, July, 1877, aged 76 years."
