He was very hostile towards the native Indians. Cleveland was an Indian administrator. He died in his twenty-ninth year.

Two memorials were erected to him in Bhagalpur, one in stone sent by the Court of Directors of the East India Company (EIC) from England, the other depicted here, a shrine built by EIC and acquaintances.
