Imogene -- all genealogies of this family that I have seen identify Joseph Cloud, husband of Jane Carpenter, as a son of Capt. William Cloud of Stokes Co., NC/Henry, Patrick, and Carroll Cos., VA. So your belief as to their being brothers is consistent with the view that Susannah Bondurant's husb. was another son of William's. And thanks for confirming that this Benj. F. and Susannah Bondurant Cloud had a son named Benjamin Franklin, Jr. (just to keep things rolling).
