    1. [CLOUD-L] Orleana Cloud b.1826-1829
    2. I am not actually a Cloud researcher, but found this information while researching Orleana Cloud's son who married my relative. Am providing this information for the information of Cloud researchers. Per data on Ancestry.com, Orleana Cloud was a daughter of Jacob Cloud and Mary Huddleston, and married Pleasant Hodges 1848 Claiborne Co. TN, son of James Hodges and Mary Barton. Per the census, Orleana was born anywhere from 1826 to 1829. Her middle name was Jamima (per the 1870 census, which names her as Jamima O.); so, she was either Orleana Jamima or Jamima Orleana. I have Pleasant and Orleana on the census from 1850 through 1880, showing a migration pattern of TN to KY to TX. The census info is given below, and shows the names of their children. Their son Robert Moore Hodges (b.1872) married my relative Minnie Summers in McLennan County, TX in 1900, and he died in 1918, probably in Dallas, Texas. I assume that Pleasant and Orleana's other older son Robert N. b.1850 died young, since they named another son Robert in 1872. Robert M. Hodges (b.1872) lost his hearing due to meningitis and enrolled in 1889 at the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin. His school records there say he was born in Kentucky 3-8-1872 and that his father was P.M. Hodges of Tenn. who was living in Mineral Wells, Texas at the time. I don't know what happened to Robert Moore Hodges' parents or siblings after 1880. I believe in 1900 he was in Ft. Worth, Texas, and in 1910 I have him on the census in Dallas, Texas.
