Harry, Thank you for this information. My interest comes from what appears to be a major clue for our branch. "Our" Jeremiah Cloud (1784 GA - 8161 TX) named his eldest son William. In fact, the eldest sons for four generations were named William. We have been hunting in Georgia and South Carolina for years. A descendant of Jeremiah's slaves wrote me that his ancestors came to Jeremiah after the death of William Cloud in Tennessee in 1841. Jeremiah had been in Texas for 3 or 4 years by that time. I would really like to know where the information on that William Cloud came from. So far as I know, no one in our branch has investigated the Tennessee Cloud families of this period and I don't think they have investigated the William name clue either. So I am looking for anything on Tennessee Cloud families in the first half of the 19th century and especially for a William Cloud who had probably lived in Georgia and South Carolina before going to Tennessee. If the information I've received is correct, he died in 1841. thanks again, Tom Cloud At 02:18 PM 2/14/2005, Harry Hogan <hogahl@starpower.net> wrote: >Tom -- William Cloud, Rev.

His son William Morgan Cloud, however, did live in Hawkins Co., TN, for a number of decades before he moved farther west (to Missouri, I think). Capt. Cloud (the dad) was noted for the number of his children, the last of whom he sired during his last year living, at the age of 91/92.

Tom -- I don't know of any William who meets your full description, but I'll keep a lookout.
