Hi Edwin: I have done considerable research on the Cloud line from Edgefield Co., SC thru Decatur Co., GA to Jackson Co., FL. The results have been posted to CLOUD-L. Because of the sheer volume, I had to divide the work into three issues in order to post it. The easiest way to view the research is to go to CLOUD-L and search the archives. In the "Query" box, type in rex and show the year as 2001. You will get 21 responses to your query. The three issues are: Filename 80 posted 11 Aug 2001 for "A"; File names 107 and 108 posted 8 Oct 2001 for "B" and "C". Let me know if you have problems bringing up the articles and I will email them to you. The next issue of CFJ is scheduled to publish the same work. In answer to your question, you will see that the JAMES CLOUD that went to Jackson Co., FL was the son of JOHN CLOUD [b: c 1782]. John had four sons, two of whom were b: in Edgefield Co., SC and two of whom were born in Decatur Co., GA. You will also see that John's father, PETER CLOUD had a large family, but I don't believe your William was in the family. Edwin, this is getting pretty long so I will chop it off and send another that will pursue some thoughts on William [b: c 1815] TIL LATER REX SANDERS

He left a wife and seven children, the youngest of whom was a boy, who is your ancestor. I hope I have this right. I have some unrefined thoughts and ideas but would like a little more info. 1: William and his family should be in the 1850 census in Edgefield. Please post what you have on that record incl where each was born. 2: Who, when, and where did he marry? 3: William should show as head of household in 1840. Do you have a census? Please post what you know in this forum and maybe others can add info. REX SANDERS
