My Mother is from the Evans family from Tazwell. Here is what I found. Also, in a book I checked out from the local library on the James Family (A genealogy type book) I believe Schultz or someone from Claiborne County, TN built a house here in MO near the James and they ended up with it. KCMO MAILTO:"JPAYNE5744@AOL.COM"JPayne5744@aol.com Subj: Frank & Jesse James Date: 11/3/00 1:32:28 PM Eastern Standard Time From: ShariBen@aol.com To: JPayne5744 Hi Joe, I was just browsing through your website to see what's been updated. I noticed that you had a link for the Outlaw Jesse Woodson James. I didn't know if you would be interested or not, but in my search on the Shultz family I came across a story of Frank James coming to Tazewell, TN to visit Benjamin Franklin Shultz. [Benjamin Frankin Shultz b. February 12, 1842 was the son Jacob Shultz Jr. & Louisanna Cloud] (Source: "Chadwell Heritage: A Family History" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips, page 165) FRANK JAMES VISITS BENJAMIN SCHULTZ AT TAZEWELL IN 1875 An interesting sidelight on the life of Benjamin Schultz was his friendship with Frank James, the notorious Missouri outlaw, and brother of Jesse James. Benjamin and Frank served under General Price in the confederate Army, both drove ordinance wagons in some battles. Before that Frank James had ridden with Quatrell's men. It would have been a strange friendship, on the surface -- Benjamin Schultz being an honorabel and high principled man, of unusual intelligence, but, on looking deeper in the family history, we find that they were bound by family ties as well as friendship. The parents of Jesse and Frank James were known to have been highly respectable people -- Mrs. James being from a good Kentucky family, the Shacklefords. Dr. Gabriel Shackleford came down from Kentucky and married Benjamin Schultz' aunt, Nancy M. Cloud in Tazewell, Tennessee. Dr. Shackleford was an esteemed physician and citizen of Tazewell until his wife's death and he went to Missouri. Nancy Cloud's sister married a Norfleet, whose family also married into the Shackleford family. But a close family tie was Benjamin's sister's marriage to W. S. Norfleet in Springfield, Missouri. W.S. Norfleet was a son of David Norfleet and Elizabeth Shackleford. That Benjamin and Frank James' friendship survived the War is revealed in Dr. Robert L. Kincaid's book, "The Wilderness Road." In a chapter describing a hanging in Tazewell on August 23, 1875, Kincaid writes that there was a crowd of people gathered to see the hanging of a convicted murderer, estimated to be between five and six thousand people -- men and women and children. Kincaid opines that if the people had known it, their attention to a well built, bronzed, man with steel gray eyes would have vied with the interest of seeing a man hanged. For that man in the crowd was Frank James who had accidentally fallen in with a company of riders, and with his companion, George Shepard, had arrived in Tazewell to visit his old companion of the Confederate Army, Benjamin Schultz. The steely eyed James had given a native a five dollar gold piece to find him a good seat. In 1893 when Frank James was a member of the St. Louis Police Force, he went to Nashville to seek information about the death of his old chieftain, William Clarke Quantrill, who was killed in Kentucky during the close of the Civil War. At that time he told Nashville friends that it was a quiet interim in the careers of him and his brother Jesse, that took him to Tazewell. It was easy for a man to hide himself in the wild Kentucky hills where men still lived much as they wished. Information from Daily Press and Knoxville Herald August 15, 1875. Also Knoxville Messenger, August 18, 1875. Also interviews with eye witnesses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :)shari Chandler, AZ http://members.fortunecity.com/shariben/ http://members.aol.com/shariben/ From the notes of Descendents of Jacob Shultz Thanks to Jim Shults, Knoxville, Tennessee and Roy Shultz, Greenville, Texas Eliza's father, Thomas Johnson, came to Claiborne County from Mobile, Alabama about 1840 and married Eliza J. Graham, whose father, Dr. Andrew Graham, had been a surgeon in the British Navy. Thomas Johnson was later in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Eliza's sister, Mary, married Alexander Cloud. Benjamin was a Confederate veteran of the Civil War. He moved to Missouri with his parents in the late 1850's. After the War he went to Navarro Co, Texas where he hauled freight between Millican and Dallas for about two years. In 1868 he returned to Tazewell, TN. For a number of years he was engaged in the mercantile business, as his father had been. He was Postmaster at Cumberland Gap, TN in 1894. Benjamin was a close friend of Frank James, brother of Jesse. He and Frank served together in the Confederate Army and both drove ordinance wagons. In August 1875 Frank came to Tazewell to visit with his old friend, Benjamin. The book "800 Missouri Families" 4 Vols, Feb 1989, by Don Vincent, Volume 3, page 16 has a small article by one Milburn Divine. He writes of Benjamin: "He was a Capt. in [the same] Confederate Cavalry troop in Missouri in which both Frank and Jesse James were members. Schultz built "Meadow Hill" house and farm here Frank and Jesse came when wanted in Missouri. Schultz sold "Meadow Hill" to Dr. John W. Divine (an ancestor of the Milburn Divine writing the article...jrs) and old papers found in the garrett over the kitchen in this house in 1954 confirm the Schultz-James story."

Thanks you to Glinda , Ken and Al for their kind responses to my enquiries on this family. I will try your various suggestions . thanks again, Kathy.

Kathy, I searched the 1910 Tennessee census for all Cloud names, and saw none for a Homer Cloud. In response to your question to Ken Cloud who replied to your message, Ken maintains a very comprehensive web site of Cloud names at www.cloudweb.org. Good luck, Al Cloud.

Cloud, Kenneth Son Age 12 KS, Mo, MO Cloud Wallace Son age 09 Ks, Mo, Mo . The middle initial for Omar/Homer is definitely an E. in this Census..

This will be hailed by genuine grief by his acquaintances and he was widely known -- few in either Marion or Lucas Counties were better known than he. He was a true nobleman in every sense of the word and met every obligation of life courageously and well, just in his contact with men, upright as a neighbor and citizen. He had been in declining health for months but was well advanced in age and had well accomplished his life-work. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Columbia, Feb. 23 -- WALTER WHITLATCH, an old and highly respected citizen of Marion County, died at his home, two miles east of Columbia, Monday morning, Feb. 22, 1909. For several years the deceased has been in declining health. One year was spent in southern California in hopes of a benefit, but for the past six months there has been a rapid decline, and all that loving hands and medical aid could do was of no avail. Deceased was born in Indiana in 1834, resided in Marion County since 1843, and at the time of his death was aged 75 years, 1 month and 20 days. He was first married March 24, 1859. To this union were born six children. The mother and three children have preceded him to the Beyond. MRS. WILL MADDY died Oct. 15, 1887; GEO. WHITLATCH, Dec. 12, 1882, and MRS. W.O. CLOUD, June 11, 1901. Three remain to mourn the loss of a loving father: A.V. WHITLATCH of Belinda; MRS. J.N. MADDY, of Columbia, and MRS. ORA DAVIS, of Lafayette, Colo. Deceased was again married, Sept. 4, 1898, to MRS. GWENNIE LONG, who has been a faithful and devoted companion to him through all his declining years. Our community has lost a good man, an honest and upright neighbor, a friend to all mankind and one who will be greatly missed from our midst. Funeral services were held at the home at 11 o'clock, Tuesday, Feb. 23, conducted by Rev. Smith, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Columbia Cemetery by the Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert May 23, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net

Tom, My grandfather, Joe Cloud, kept a ledger during the first twenty years of his marriage. He entered all of the items purchased during each year, the date of purchase, the store were the purchase was made and the cost for each item. Some of the items wouldn't be recognizable to the reader today unless the person had a farming background. Many couldn't be purchased today. He bought material and thread and my grandmother made the clothes for the family. He bought leather and tacks and made shoes for the family. Here is a sample: Facinater - 50 cents. Some of the ladies might identify this item. 4 plough points - $1.05 Half soles - 25 cents Coffee (fresh ground) - 25 cents file - 10 cents comb - 10 cents 4 yds flannel - $1.00 4 yds calico - 25 cents 1 buckhead - 55 cents 1 collar pad - 35 cents 1 pr overalls - 50 cents 4 sacks flour - $2.10 1 pr. hose - 10 cents 1 No. 2 Oliver plough - $9.00 1 pr hames - 50 cents 1 pr trace chains - 45 cents 1 backband - 15 cents 15 yds domestic - $1.00 5 gal. coal oil - 25 cents 1 box shells - 45 cents He got extravagant in 1906 and bought 1 bottle of Brilliantine for 25 cents.

Thanks Mary Jane ... and that reinforces how difficult it is to really compare -- part of the value of things was and is related to the locality, e.g. a gold rush or an oil boom, when everything becomes scarce and more expensive.

Tom, Fasinating. I was able to make a copy, too. It's difficult to relate to all that information, however, unless we can find actual examples. Just for general information, you may find this interesting from an arrticulate cousin from way back: He wrote in 1857 from Indiana, "...pork is worth $20 per pound; wheat is only $1.00 corn 50 cts. per bu. oats 60. Coffee and sugar 15 cts per lb." In 1864 he wrote: "....wheat is near $2 - corn 1. Corn meal $1.50 hogs gross 6 to 7 dollars. Beef cattle $5 gross for good quallity. Sheep 4 or 5, horses $150 - coffee 60 - sugar 35 ." In 1876 from Colorado Territory, "Old potatoes are worth $3 per bu.....Beef Steak here 10 to 15 cts per lb, flour 8 to 9 dollars per sack." mary jane battaglia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Cloud" <tcloud@austin.rr.com> To: <CLOUD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 7:27 AM Subject: [CLOUD] Comparative values of U.S. currency > Please take a look at the page I've posted to allow the comparison > of currency from 1800 to present in the U.S. > http://www.mykindred.com/cloud/TX/Documents/dollar/ > > Let me know if ... > - you have any suggestions > - it looks bad on your computer screen > > BTW, this was prompted, among other things, by the probate of > my 4th-g-grandfather Jeremiah Cloud's will.
