Mary,
It is good to see someone who understands my humor! In answer to your
question, Kitty Cloud Templeton wrote a book, "The Righteous Rebel",
published by Easton Press and available in bookstores. It is based on
her ancestor, Adam Cloud. The Virtual Marching Tour website is based on
her book complete with songs of the time you can listen to, pictures and
other documentation. It is still 'In Progress', but is awesome now!
The most recent issue of the Cloud Family Association Journal [Vol XX,
Nos. 1&2 - they combined them] is meant as a commerative issue honoring
315 years in America. This is worth the $25.00 annual dues, which also
entitles you to help from the CFA database and family at large. The

If you are researching CLOUDS in SC, GA TN, IN or OH, the hotel is close
to the North Carolina Archives & within reasonable distance to the
Quaker Collection at Guilford College.
Whew! We shall make every effort to be there. Allen's grandmother
Harris [nee Mortie Alma Cloud] was the daughter of Ruby Crabtree! Tom &
Lura, this should be of extreme interest to you.
The Virtual Marching Tour of the American Revolution is part of the
Independence Hall website which has a subsite that has a lot of Cloud
info on page 15.
Is this clear as mud?
I hope this info is the twig that started everyone in a more productive
direction [if you were stalled]. I just wanted to help a little.
Sometimes, it's those seemingly trivial minutiae that produce the big
breaks. Keep the faith!
Now where did I leave that embroidery...oh, no!...my son caught me off
line...[Guffaw!]
Have a blessed weekend everyone!
