Cleare family from Bahamas and Key West, FL
I would be interested in hearing from anyone with the name Cleare in their family. My grandfather, Lucian Wilson Cleare, came from the Bahamas when he was about 12 years old. He came with his father and 4 sisters. His mother died prior to this in the Bahamas. Any information would be appreciated.

I have Cleare's on my father's side - from Brockton and Bridgewater, MA...came before 1880.

I believe that my Cleare family came to the Bahamas directly from the British Isles. I do not know if any of them came to the US prior to about 1870 and that was to Key West, FL. Do you know if your family was from the Bahamas?

My grandmother was Elizabeh Cleare, born in Bridgewater, MA in 1853, died Dec. 12, 1899, buried in N. Burial GRound, Fall River, MA.
Her father was Lawrence Cleare (married Ellen Callahan from Castle Hyde, County Cork, both died Bridgewater, MA), from Stony Force, County Kilkenny, Ireland.
His father was James Cleare (married Mary Murphy, Stony Force), also of Stony Force.

Re: Cleare family from Bahamas and Key West, FL
Hello Michael----- My name is Leilani Cleare (bell). My Father was Earle Cleare, his father George Garfield Cleare. George had a brother named Murray and a sister named Reba. One of his aunts was Emma Cleare and her parents were Thomas Henry Cleare and Euphemia Effie Lightbourne. As far as I know my father's father, George Garfield's father was Thomas and his mother was Elizabeth. I cannot get past George Garfield in my search. I just know that Dad always told me that his family was from Key West and the Bahamas. If you can be of help, I would appreciate it. Thank You

Re: Cleare family from Bahamas and Key West, FL
Michael, I am sorry to say that I know of no one in my family who still lives in the Bahamas. My great grandfather was William Cleare and they came to Key West in the late 1800's. I wish that I could connect to some living Cleares in the Bahamas.

Re: Cleare family from Bahamas and Key West, FL
Collin, my family left the Bahamas in the late 1800's. They went to Key West. My great grandfather was William H. Cleare and his son was Lucien Wilson Cleare. They did come from Harbour Island. My grandfather's mother was Sarah Sweeting but she died in the Bahamas before the rest of the family moved to KW.
Any information that you can give me will be appreciated. I know very little of the Cleares who stayed in the Bahamas.
Thank you.
