Cloud Linage taken from article on Gen George H.Cloud, USMC - not sure this is the correct family. Added from data in CFJ XIX 1-19, KC Gen Clouds Linage shown as: George H. Cloud was descended from Texas pioneer Jeremiah Cloud, who was born in Georgia but was in Austin County, TX by 1837. (Since Jeremiah was living in Texas prior to February 19, 1846, the date Texas became a state, his direct descendants can claim to be Sons/Daughters of the Republic of Texas.) Following is George H. Cloud's lineage from Jeremiah Cloud. Jeremiah Cloud (cl782/84-1861) m. Elizabeth --->William J. Cloud (cl825-1880) m. Elizabeth Jane Boyd Thomas Newton Cloud (cl858-1914) m.
