Tom: Did any of your Clouds end up in Ft. Worth, Texas? My husband's grandmother was Ada Cloud, born in Kansas. Her father worked for the railroad. Durning the devastating storm of 1900, they were living in Galveston. She married William Russell Bowen, whose ancestors had the first stone house in Tennessee. That house is still standing outside of Nashville. Ada and Russell ended up in Houston in the 1980's from Dallas when it became apparent that they needed to be close to family members. Ada Cloud Bowen died in 1885 in Houston, Texas. Does any of this compute? If it does, write me and I will give more info on my husband's Clouds.
