Eleanor Cleves was the daughter of William Benjamin Cleves (b. 1845 at Elmira, Chemung County, New York, d. 1928) and Eugenia Frances (went by Nellie?) Bidwell (1849-1885), who married 20 Nov 1866 at presumably New York. Find-A-Grave shows 1895 for Eugenia's death year, is this a mistake?

Eleanor married Dr. Harry Abraham Rothrock Sr. (1872-1957) on 07 Jun 1898 at Binghamton, Broome County, New York. Harry received an M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1895. He served in the medical corps during World War I. He was Chief of Eye Services for the Chester County Hospital for fifty years. Eleanor and Harry were the parents of six known children, namely:

1. Eugenia May Rothrock Heise (1900-1982)
2. Joseph Trimble Rothrock (1901-1985)
3. Henry Abraham Rothrock (1903-1982)
4. Addison May Rothrock (1903-1971)
5. Eleanor Cleves Rothrock (1907-1978)
6. Charlotte Stephanie Rothrock Askew (1912-1997)
