Surnames: Clouse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zIJ.2ACEB/8.9.10.12.16.68.1 Message Board Post: I'm thinking the Clouses of Bond County, IL were the family who migrated from eastern Tennessee. Time frame would be about right, too. I can check my notes if anyone is interested. My Clouses came from central Kentucky in the early 1800s and went to Montgomery and Fountain Counties, IN. I've tried to figure out where they were before Kentucky, and so I have some info on locations of other Clouse branches as well.
