Just this little data more before starting the begets and begats and diedy.
There appeared Robert Pyle one of the witnesses within named and upon his
soleom affirmation did declare he saw the within named William Cloud sign.
There was a note stateing that others interested in the children of William
Cloud, other than Jeremiah should referr to Pond. What is meant I do not
know. Does someone out there know? If so, please let us know.
Now. Jeremiah Cloud 1658 - 1717.
He was the sixth child of William. He came from England to America with his
parents.
He married Elizabeth Bailey in 1685. In 1713, he was selected by his
brothers, a the one to whom the new patent, for 500 acres, originally
purchased by their father William Cloud in 1681, should be confirmed. On
Feb. 15, 1713, he conveyed 200 acres of this land to his brother John Cloud.
It is thought that Elizabeth BAiley mayh have been a widow of Joel Bailey,
nephew of the first Joel BAiley to come to America or perhaps a daughter of
Joel and Ann (Short) Bailey . Elizabeth Bailey, Jeremiah Cloud's wife, was
spoken of as "probably a near relative" of Joel Bailey of Westbrook Parish,
Wiltshire Co., England. Daniel Bailey, JOel Bailey's brother, a weaver. In
1681 bought 125 acres in Birmingham Twp., Chester Co., Pa. but did not come
to America. However, Joel Bailey acted as Daniel Bailey's attorney in the
sale of his land to John Bailey.
Well here we go on the begets and begats data. Sorry that some of this
will be repeat for some of you.
Jeremiah Cloud and Elizabeth Bailey had the following children.
William Cloud was born @ 1690 and he died in 1748 in Brandywine Hundred, New

Hannah Cloud was born @ 1694 in Pa. and married first Caleb Prew in 1716.
She then married John Baldwin in 1729 and she died later the same year. I
