----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> 1880 census, taken 1 Jun, McDonald Cty, ElkHorn Township, MO page 246 Jacob CLoud, age, 46, born TN Mary J., 55, TN Henry A. F., 23, MO L. Alice, 19, MO M. Elizabeth, 18, MO If Lura has found the correct Martha Elizabeth (which certainly seems very likely), her mother was not Mary J. of the above census. Jacob CLOUD had a first wife named Elizabeth, but I do not know her maiden name. He married Mary Jane BULLARD in McDonald Co MO 31 May 1866. Jacob CLOUD's father was Abner CLOUD shown in the 1850 census of Claiborne Co TN. Abner CLOUD was s/o Samuel CLOUD Sr. & his first wife. I've been told Samuel Sr.'s first wife was Margaret WILSON, but I have no proof of that. I do know that Samuel Sr. had a second marriage to Margaret "Peggy" (Cupp) Bowyers in Claiborne Co TN 15 May 1839 who was the divorced second wife of Michael BOWYERS. I hope Lura has found your proper great-grandmother. Imogene Bennett Springfield, MO [email protected]
