Lura, Just saw your Francis letter. Mary Alford (you had Olford) is my 3ggrandmother. She is the grandmother of Melissa Camilla Jackson, who married Francis Marion Cloud. The Jacksons and Washams owned land near Buckhorn in Austin Co. Do you know who Lucinda married? Best regards, Gary

Jeremiah Washam 7-22-1824, Rhea county, TN. I know you have thought the Francis connection might offer clues to the background of "our" Jeremiah and Elizabeth Cloud, and this data certainly is tantalizing. I would like to see your data on Mary Alford and family (write me off-list, if you like). Tom Cloud
