I don't know anything about this man, but my best guess on his father's name would be Uriah.

thanks Cindy -- that may be it! There is a record of a Uriah Cloud who lived in Virginia / West Virginia http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I111541&tree=mykindred01 ... and he has a son named William. This may be the same person ? I estimated a dob of 1874 from the 1880 census 1880 census, VA, Frederick, Stonewall, p.8, e.d. 12, (T9-1366, p. 327) June 4, 1880, HH 77/79, (all b. VA) Cloud, Uriah, W, M, 49, laborer (ca 1831) " , Elen, W, F, 44, wife, laborer (ca 1836) " , John W, 21, son, laborer (ca 1859) " , Jas E, 13, son, at home (ca 1857) " , Andrew J, 12, son (ca 1858) " , Robt Le, 10, son (ca 1870) " , Wm, 6, son (ca 1874) " , Mary, 4, dau (ca 1876) " , Jane, 14, wife (ca 1866) " , Elizabeth, 2, dau (ca 1878) ..... and that may be correct. William's wife, Anna, was the informant, but she may have been told the wrong dob (women don't make mistrakes like forgetting their husbands birthday <grin>) Tom At 11:21 AM 8/12/2006, you wrote: >I don't know anything about this man, but my best guess on his father's >name would be Uriah. > >Cindy Cloud > > >On Sat, 12 Aug 2006 10:18:02 -0500 Tom Cloud <tcloud@austin.rr.com> >writes: >> Who is this man, what family does he belong to? >> >> Can you read his father's name?
