In this study, we present result of astrometric search for open clusters and associations around an early-type primary star in a binary or multiple star system. Based on the position, parallax, and proper motion measured by Gaia satellite, 98 open clusters and 110 associations were identified. Among them, 109 clusters and associations are newly discovered. The number of the membership ranged from 8 to 1526. The ages of the open clusters and associations were estimated to be between 10 6.3 yr and 10 8.9 yr. It is indicated that most of early-type stars are born in a stellar cluster with a number of low-mass stars. The low-mass stars in the open clusters and associations are candidates of post T Tauri stars.
