Hi Kathy...am a little slow in reacting, but I have been searching the 1910
census with no luck thus far. Am curious as to why you think they are in
Tennessee during that period. Would appear based on the 1920 census you show
that their first child was born between 1910 and 1911 and she was born in
Missouri. I have been querying for Homer born MO in all states; Cloud, soundex,
born in MO. So far no luck. Must not have yet found the right "key" (or he
eluded the census takers). Maybe when ancestry.com has it indexed by
individual, we might be able to find Lorna. Thus far, they only have it indexed by
HOH.

FRANK IRWIN, WILLIAM HANCOCK BECAME FIRST SETTLERS OF
WALNUT GROVE (TN), BETWEEN RIVERS
By Dallas Bogan
Reprinted with Permission from Dallas Bogan. This
article was published in the LaFollette Press.
The settling of Walnut Grove in Campbell County,
between the Powell and Clinch rivers, began many years
ago. In the 1770's no white man had ever set foot
between the rivers or had seen what is now called
Walnut Grove unless it was the longhunters from North
Carolina. An assumption of the name Walnut Grove
possibly came from the many walnut trees surrounding
the area. Historians claim that the Indians called the
Clinch River "Turkey River" or "Pellissippi."
Years before the Revolutionary War, Frank Irwin and a
younger brother crossed the mountains of North
Carolina, now Tennessee. They both took part in the
Battle of Kings Mountain, a very decisive encounter
for the Continental Army. It should be noted that
Frank could have possibly fired the deadly bullet into
the body of General Ferguson, the only Englishman.
Frank's brother was possibly killed in this battle.
After the Land Grab Act, about 1789, Frank Irwin and
WILLIAM HANCOCK ventured west among the Indians and
the wild animals. They arrived on the Holston River
and then pressed forward to Big Valley where Frank met
and married Nellie Lyons. In this area Frank purchased
1,000 acres, possibly from the Indians.
While on a hunting venture one day, Frank forded the
Clinch River and found the valley between the rivers,
Walnut Grove. Frank and William Hancock became the
first settlers, each buying 500 acres of land and
building shelters or huts about 1 1/2 miles apart.
Frank gave a filly and a rifle for his share of the
purchase. William built his homestead on Powell River,
which later became the home of Henry Irwin.
(See website for rest of story -- see new story below)
Information from this article was extracted with
permission from Dr. Miller McDonald's book Campbell
County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces,
Happenings, Traditions, and Things, Vol. 1.
http://www.tngenweb.org/campbell/history/county.html
The first settlers to the Campbell County area
were the Cherokee Indians who made their reservations
at the present-day sites of Caryville, La Follette,
and Well Springs and other small communities.
Throughout the 1700s, the white settlers began
trickling into the area and establishing their roots.
The first major white settlement in the area was
established in 1783 when Thomas Henderson procured a
tract of 200,000 acres of land from North Carolina
(this grant was awarded July 7, 1794 by the state of
North Carolina and is recorded as Grant Number 252).
This tract of land included a large portion of
Campbell County. As more and more white settlers
settled into the Indian occupied territory, numerous
bloody battles erupted between the two groups of
people. The last of the Indians were chased across the
Cumberland Mountains, and the chief of the tribe was
killed near the Campbell County line in Kentucky.
On September 11, 1806, the Tennessee State
legislature passed an act allowing the creation of
Campbell County from parts of Anderson and Claiborne
Counties. Campbell County was created "on account of
the large extent of the counties of Anderson and
Claiborne rendering it grievous and burdensome to many
inhabitants of the Clinch River to attend court,
general matters, elections and other public meetings."
Campbell County was named for Colonel Arthur Campbell,
a soldier of the Revolutionary and Indian Wars.
The act to establish Campbell County appointed
James Grant, WILLIAM HANCOCK, Jacent Cloud, Robert
Glenn, Richard Linville, Sampson David, and John
Inglish as commissioners to set up and select the
county seat. There were three locations selected as
potential spots for the county seat: Grantsboro, Big
Creek Gap (later called La Follette), and Walnut Cove
(later called Jacksboro). The commissioners favored
different localities and could not reach an agreement
on which to select.
At the convening of the General Assembly in
1807, these commissioners had failed in their task. On
November 30, the General Assembly passed an amendment
to the original act: "Whereas, the commissioners
appointed by the aforesaid act have omitted to perform
the duties thereby enjoined on them." It then
appointed the following men as new commissioners:
Thomas Murray, Robert Glenn, Sampson David, John
English, John Yount, James Rice, and John Newman. On
January 20, 1808, Colonel Hugh Montgomery deeded 60
acres to the new commissioners for setting up a new
town called Jacksborough, named in honor of Andrew
Jackson, President of the United States. Jacksborough
became the county seat for Campbell County. The first
deed recorded in Campbell County was from Thomas
Campbell to Henry Carlock for 500 acres, and the first
will recorded was for David Haley.

Don't think they are the same a Cleminsons, but will look further,
thank you for your help. I found the following ,Just posting incase
someone else can use it:
James Clemson
1654-1718
compiled and written by
Paulette Haynes
August, 1985
Records for James Clemson in America are limited although his origin
in England was apparently at Tettanhall, Staffordshire Parish,
England. His christening was recorded there on 10 Aug 1654 and he was
the son of Alexander and Elizabeth (Green) Clemson who married 27
September 1652. James Clemson's first marriage to Katherine Wright,
of Dudley, was recorded 22 Nov 1682 and the christening at Tettenhall
for several of their children followed. James and Katherine Clemson
also appear in the register of Dudley parish in 1697/98.
Hannah "Clempson" daughter of "James Clempson" was christened 3 Aug
1692. The parish church of Tettenhall is St. Michael & All Angels and
the registers begin in the year 1602 (see note).
The first record in America for James Clemson is a 13 Oct 1699 deed
to him, a blacksmith, for 4 acres and 2 lots near the town of
Chichester, on the Delaware River, now called Marcus Hook. By 1702,
he moved several miles inland to a one hundred thirty-five acres
farmstead property at Booth's Corners, and in 1710 purchased a three
hundred acres tract on the Bethel-Concord township line in Chester
County, Pennsylvania from the heirs of William Cloud. On 18 May 1716
he acquired a patent of 600/636 acres in Salisbury Twp, Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. Five hundred acres of this was a grant to him
and the other one hundred was sold to him by William Lewis. An
additional 36 acres was a road allowance.
On 1 Jun 1716 James Clemson made a trust deed to his daughter Mary
Guest (wife of Henry Guest), of the 300 acres farm in Concord Twp.
with the conditional grantee Sophia Clemson, a daughter, of five
pounds, if Sarah "now the wife of James", to be cared for by Mary and
her husband Henry through illness as long as she lived, did not live
5 years. It is evident by this trust deed that in 1716 James Clemson
was married to a woman named Sarah. James Clemson wrote his will 12
July 1718 in Philadelphia and at this time he was married to the
widow Joan Coates. The will was probated in Philadelphia, August
1718. It is often stated that James Clemson was buried in the Quaker
Cemetery in Philadelphia but that apparently cannot be verified.
James Clemson bequeathed to his three sons (John, James & Thomas)
536 of the 636 acres in Lancaster County on which he had obtained a
patent in 1716. He bequeathed to his daughter Sophia 39 pounds in
bonds after the death of his wife Joan who had the life interest on
the bonds. His eldest daughter, Mary, was not mentioned in his will
because he had given his 300 acre Concord Twp. property to her and
her husband Henry by a trust deed dated 1 June 1716.
Hannah and her sister Rebecca were not mentioned in the will having
been given 50 acres each of the patent land, in Salisbury Township,
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This gift was made between June
1716, when he acquired the patent and July 1718, when he wrote his
will. The heirs of James Clemson agreed to the division of the 636
acres, in quit claim deeds dated 26 Mar 1731 (the second day of
1731). At this time, Hannah Clemson was married to Joseph Haynes, a
yeoman "of the province of West Jersey". On 6 October 1731, Hannah
Haynes declared she signed the deed of her own free will, and her
fifty acres of property was sold by Joseph and Hannah Haynes "of West
New Jersey" to her brother, John Clemson in 1733. On the 15th of May
1742 Joseph Haynes acknowledged having received the sum of ten pounds
for the land and being "fully satisfied".
Children of James Clemson (who lived to adulthood ; several were of
the Quaker faith):
1. Mary Clemson christened 8 Mar 1685 Tettenhall, Staffordshire
Parish, England married Henry Guest
2. Hannah Clemson christened 3 Aug 1692 Tettenhall, Straffordshire
Parish, England married Joseph Haynes. The Clemson family history
contains no further record of Hannah and Joseph Haynes. Burial places
and death dates for them have not yet been found, and their children,
if any are not known.
3. John Clemson born ca 1701 Pennsylvania married (1) Mary Elliott
and (2) Elizabeth Way
4. James Clemson (2nd son) born Pennsylvania married Mary Halliday.
5. Rebecca Clemson married Dennis Onan
6. Sophia Clemson born 1705 Pennsylvania married William Sawyer of
Derry Twp. Lancaster Co. PA
7. Thomas Clemson (3rd son) born before 1710 Pennsylvania married
Elizabeth Strode
* The parish register of the parish church of St Michael & All Angels
commences in 1602. The original registers for the period 1602-1968
(Bapts), 1602-1948 (Mar) & 1602-1946 (Bur), and Banns for the period
1754-1799 are deposited at Staffordshire Record Office.
Bishops Transcripts, 1687-1859 (with gaps 1692-96, 1699-1715, 1717-
1800, & 1837) are deposited at Lichfield Record Office.
A transcript of the St Michael & All Angels registers for the periods
(part 1) 1602-1744, and (part 2) 1745-1839 (Mar) was published in
1930 and 1967 by the Staffordshire Parish Register Society and has
been reprinted by the Birmingham & Midland SGH.

Hi Joe,
I was just browsing through your website to see what's been updated. I noticed that you had a link for the Outlaw Jesse Woodson James. I didn't know if you would be interested or not, but in my search on the Shultz family I came across a story of Frank James coming to Tazewell, TN to visit Benjamin Franklin Shultz. [Benjamin Frankin Shultz b. February 12, 1842 was the son Jacob Shultz Jr. & Louisanna Cloud]
(Source: "Chadwell Heritage: A Family History" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips, page 165)
FRANK JAMES VISITS BENJAMIN SCHULTZ AT TAZEWELL IN 1875
An interesting sidelight on the life of Benjamin Schultz was his friendship with Frank James, the notorious Missouri outlaw, and brother of Jesse James. Benjamin and Frank served under General Price in the confederate Army, both drove ordinance wagons in some battles. Before that Frank James had ridden with Quatrell's men.
It would have been a strange friendship, on the surface -- Benjamin Schultz being an honorabel and high principled man, of unusual intelligence, but, on looking deeper in the family history, we find that they were bound by family ties as well as friendship.
The parents of Jesse and Frank James were known to have been highly respectable people -- Mrs. James being from a good Kentucky family, the Shacklefords. Dr. Gabriel Shackleford came down from Kentucky and married Benjamin Schultz' aunt, Nancy M. Cloud in Tazewell, Tennessee. Dr. Shackleford was an esteemed physician and citizen of Tazewell until his wife's death and he went to Missouri. Nancy Cloud's sister married a Norfleet, whose family also married into the Shackleford family. But a close family tie was Benjamin's sister's marriage to W. S. Norfleet in Springfield, Missouri. W.S. Norfleet was a son of David Norfleet and Elizabeth Shackleford. That Benjamin and Frank James' friendship survived the War is revealed in Dr. Robert L. Kincaid's book, "The Wilderness Road."
In a chapter describing a hanging in Tazewell on August 23, 1875, Kincaid writes that there was a crowd of people gathered to see the hanging of a convicted murderer, estimated to be between five and six thousand people -- men and women and children. Kincaid opines that if the people had known it, their attention to a well built, bronzed, man with steel gray eyes would have vied with the interest of seeing a man hanged. For that man in the crowd was Frank James who had accidentally fallen in with a company of riders, and with his companion, George Shepard, had arrived in Tazewell to visit his old companion of the Confederate Army, Benjamin Schultz. The steely eyed James had given a native a five dollar gold piece to find him a good seat. In 1893 when Frank James was a member of the St. Louis Police Force, he went to Nashville to seek information about the death of his old chieftain, William Clarke Quantrill, who was killed in Kentucky during the close of the Civil War.
At that time he told Nashville friends that it was a quiet interim in the careers of him and his brother Jesse, that took him to Tazewell. It was easy for a man to hide himself in the wild Kentucky hills where men still lived much as they wished.

Eliza's father, Thomas Johnson, came to Claiborne County from Mobile, Alabama about 1840 and married Eliza J. Graham, whose father, Dr. Andrew Graham, had been a surgeon in the British Navy. Thomas Johnson was later in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Eliza's sister, Mary, married Alexander Cloud.
Benjamin was a Confederate veteran of the Civil War. He moved to Missouri with his parents in the late 1850's. After the War he went to Navarro Co, Texas where he hauled freight between Millican and Dallas for about two years. In 1868 he returned to Tazewell, TN. For a number of years he was engaged in the mercantile business, as his father had been. He was Postmaster at Cumberland Gap, TN in 1894.
Benjamin was a close friend of Frank James, brother of Jesse. He and Frank served together in the Confederate Army and both drove ordinance wagons. In August 1875 Frank came to Tazewell to visit with his old friend, Benjamin. The book "800 Missouri Families" 4 Vols, Feb 1989, by Don Vincent, Volume 3, page 16 has a small article by one Milburn Divine. He writes of Benjamin: "He was a Capt. in [the same] Confederate Cavalry troop in Missouri in which both Frank and Jesse James were members. Schultz built "Meadow Hill" house and farm here Frank and Jesse came when wanted in Missouri. Schultz sold "Meadow Hill" to Dr. John W. Divine (an ancestor of the Milburn Divine writing the article...jrs) and old papers found in the garrett over the kitchen in this house in 1954 confirm the Schultz-James story."

Ken, Thank you for your reply.. glad to know that someone else is looking at this family--
I had also found them in the 1930 Colorado Census -Otero County , Rocky Ford City.
As follows : Omar E. Cloud ( A misspelling no doubt) age 49 Mo Tn Mo. Odd jobs/laborer . Listed as Married , but wife not listed .
Cloud , Carl Son, age 16 KS, MO, MO.
Cloud, Richard Son age 14 KS, Mo, Mo.
Cloud, Kenneth Son Age 12 KS, Mo, MO
Cloud Wallace Son age 09 Ks, Mo, Mo .
The middle initial for Omar/Homer is definitely an E. in this Census..
I don't know the maiden name of his Wife, Lorna as yet.. but , the search goes on.. May I ask what your interest in the family is ? is there a connection somewhere ? regards, Kathy.
I have him as Homer C. Cloud. Esentualy I have the same data as you do from
the census. I do not have him connected to any other Cloud line.
