I do know of this data, but who was this William? Our own Cloud ancestor (Jeremiah Cloud) claimed to have been born in Twiggs in 1782-1784, while it was still Indian Territory. His eldest son was b. 1800 and was named William, as was William's eldest son. This William you mention may well be a relative of our Jeremiah. Knowing who he is could be a most valuable revelation for those of us who are looking for our ancestor, Jeremiah's, lineage.
