I have an Adam Clouse who married Temperance Estes in Claiborne County. Temperance was born about 1818 and so I would presume Adam was about the same age. Temperance's brother was my ancestor. I show Adam's parents to be Christopher (Christian) Clouse and Charlotte Tapp. I am not a Clouse researcher, but I got this info from Clouse researchers years ago who gave me the following sources: "From book "A remembrance of the Clouse family descendents of George Clouse compiled and edited by Prietta Clouse. Also info from Alvin R. Jordan 225 E. Peachtree St, Corbin, Ky" Adam's occupation is shown as a wheelright. I have a list of their children which does include a George. I have been unable to track this family and where they went. If anyone has any current information, I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone needs info on Temperance Estes, I have lots of info on the Estes family.

My GGG grandfather was Christian Clouse. I have some information about this family and know where they lived. I have seen no proof that he was married to Charlotte Tapp but would love to know more about the Tapps. I believe Christian had a son named George. I am looking at an excerpt from the publication "Watauga" Volume 3, 1974 which is at Tennessee Archives. It is entitled "A list of the Free Male Inhabitants of Claiborne County, Tennessee who hath obtained the age of twenty one years and upwards. Taken in the year 1833. James Mason Commissioner to Claiborne County." The list includes Christian and George Clouse. They are numbered Christian 234 and George 235. I do not know what these numbers refer to. My line comes through Nancy Clouse daughter of Christian who married William Ramsey, son of Josiah and Elizabeth Ramsey. The Clouses lived next door to the Ramseys. They lived in the part which would become Hancock County in 1845. I have more information but will have to dig it up.
