From the May 31, 1929 edition of the Vineyard Gazette:
Sixty years ago Edgartown had its Cleaveland Town in the south end and Jernegan Town in the west end, probably so named from the fact that various dwelling houses in the two sections were occupied by families with those well known Vineyard names. For many years past, Cleveland Town has seen its original dwellers of the name pass on until today not a Cleveland family remains on the Cleveland Town road, and of the descendants Edward T. Vincent is the sole representative on his mother’s side.
