Lura, I'm John Cloud Neal and looking for information of the slaves that Jeremiah had at his death. They were Daniel, My GGgrandfather, Betsey, Lynn, Clarissa,Joe and Friday. Were they with the Cloud family when they came to Texas? Do any of Cloud family have any information on these Slaves and where they came from? Would be thankful for any information.
