This source of this information is attributed to me. This is the correct information: Elisha Cloud was the son of a William Cloud and his wife Sarah. He had a brother Elijah with whom he is sometimes confused. Elisha was born c.1809 in SC or GA. He died in Brazos Co., Tx. March 1871. He married Ruth Collins, daughter of Wilson Collins and Martha Cunningham and the family lived in Macon Co., Ga. Elisha Cloud and most of his children came to Brazos Co., Tx. in 1868. No records have been found that Ruth came with him; apparently she died in Ga. Elisha Cloud and Ruth Collins had 11 children. Their son, William Wilson Cloud was my great grandfather, and William Wilson was executor of Elisha's will, filed here in Brazos Co. William Wilson and Sarah Jane Smith had several children, one of which was William Elisha Cloud, my grandfather. This is the one who married Sedonia Griffith. This William Elisha Cloud was born Aug. 21, 1871. He died Nov. 23, 1938, here in Brazos Co., Tx. Children of Elisha Cloud and Ruth Collins: Caroline or Catherine m. David Kleckley; Martha m. John (?)
