Weldon Dillingham Cloud passed away on April 3, 2007 in Killeen, Bell County, Texas, at the age of 94 yrs. 1 month. His ashes were scattered over the family plot in Oakhill Cemetery, Lampasas, Texas on April 15, 2007. He was born March 3, 1913 in Briggs, Burnet county, Texas.
Weldon is a third great grandson of Jeremiah Cloud of Twiggs county, Georgia through his son and daughter-in-law Henry George Washington Cloud and Mary Adeline McDade.
Lori Jo Cloud, the daughter of our friends, Ken and Joyce Cloud, passed away last Wednesday. Please go to http://www.mcculloughfh.com to sign the Online Registry for the family.
This sad news was passed on to me by Marion Cloud who saw the obituary.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ken and Joyce at this time of sorrow in their family.
sincerely,
Tom Cloud
Cecil,
I know about Bob Cloud's relation to Daniel and assumed Pat was on the email list ?? Thanks for cc'ing her just in case she's not (or isn't watching it).

Thanks, Tom I did google it -- and got a lot of hits -- but I missed the

that communications are uninterrupted across what is billed as the world's
leading financial and business center.

information-technology firm that developed the communications network have
been testing the system that the company calls "a global benchmark for
cities and metro Wi-Fi."

conventional Internet hot spots, most of them covering major hotels and
hundreds of coffee shops. But these require users to log in every time.

that its users will have to log in only once and that their communications

as we know," Niall Murphy, chief strategy officer for the Cloud, told
reporters, "and it is unique, as users keep their signal wherever they are."

managed to keep talking," he said.

will cost each user about $23.95 a month -- a figure unlikely to daunt folks
in the Square Mile, where six-figure salaries and often seven-figure bonuses
hardly raise an eyebrow.

position as the world's leading financial center," said Michael Snyder,
policy committee chairman for the City of London, which provides local
government services for the Square Mile and its financial wizards.
> The new system, he said, means that "City workers and visitors will be
able to use wireless broadband to work more efficiently, staying in touch
with their office via hand-held devices while on the move."
> Mr. Murphy of the Cloud company, which operates 7,000 smaller Internet
hot spots across Britain, Germany and Sweden, said the City of London's
network is a leading example of the "metro Wi-Fi networks [that] are
changing the faces of towns and cities around the world for both
public-access and public-sector applications."
> Derek Wyatt, a member of Britain's Parliament, said he was impressed by
the network but worried that it would allow users to "make cheap phone
calls, surf the Internet ... and even play games over the Internet instead
of a mobile phone network."

citywide Wi-Fi networks" and that it was "actively engaged" in negotiations

years.

Hi Tom:
A number of years ago I collected some information on the Cloud person that
died at the Alamo. As I recall, he was a single man with no dependents and was
from either north or south Carolina; I don't recall which.
Just now I don't have time to search for the information I collected on this
man; but, if no one else is a better source, let me know and I will try to
find the documents that I collected on this person.

Tom,
This person found the data on the mykindred site
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I66238&tree=mykindred01
That data has information on Daniel and his ancestry and points to the article in the Handbook of Texas History about Daniel. There is also a transcription of the letter he wrote just before his going to the Mexican territory of Texas.
I tried to put links in the letter to everyone Daniel mentions -
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/histories/Daniel_W_Cloud%20letter.php
I also referred this person to the Cloud Family Association Journal.
Apparently his relation is through the Marrs family -- Daniel's maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Marrs -- and he is looking for original documentation, which I don't have.
thanks,
Tom

I just received this email from a descendant of the MARRS family requesting documentation on the lineage of Daniel Cloud who died in the Alamo. This isn't my line and I really don't have anything of substance to offer this person.
Would anyone care to share information / documentation to this person? If so, please let me know.

Tom, in her book on Cloud genealogy, Rachel Adams Cloud Pond says
Greenberry Cloud is a half-brother of Washington Cloud, both being one
of 13 children born to Captain William Cloud of Rev. War fame. This is
supported by a letter written, according to Pond, August 8, 1917 by
Washington Cloud to a Miss Bertie Gibson, in which he outlined all
thirteen children and associated them with the three wives of Captain
William. As you probably are aware, Washington was born in 1842 one
hour before his father Captain William died at age 92! I had always
been leery of that, except that as you know one of Washington's
descendants is a perfect match with me all the way through 37 markers
in the DNA project. He and I believe my Isaac Sr. and his Captain
William were brothers and sons of Joseph Cloud.

Cecil,
I have been reading Vessie Thrassher Rainer' book. HENRY COUNTY GEORGIA, THE
MOTHER OF COUNTIES, p. 114.where it is written that "Mary Elliot Cloud
1814-1885, one of Ezekiel Cloud's daughters, married Dr. Jacob Hale Stokes
in 1831. He came to McDonough in 1825." Are you a decendant of these two?
I hope you and your wife are doing well.

Tom, obviously the Greenberry I described in my previous e-mail isn't
the one you are looking for, as the one I described needed to have been
born well before 1860.
Tom, in her book on Cloud genealogy, Rachel Adams Cloud Pond says
Greenberry Cloud is a half-brother of Washington Cloud, both being one
of 13 children born to Captain William Cloud of Rev. War fame. This is
supported by a letter written, according to Pond, August 8, 1917 by
Washington Cloud to a Miss Bertie Gibson, in which he outlined all
thirteen children and associated them with the three wives of Captain
William. As you probably are aware, Washington was born in 1842 one
hour before his father Captain William died at age 92! I had always
been leery of that, except that as you know one of Washington's
descendants is a perfect match with me all the way through 37 markers
in the DNA project. He and I believe my Isaac Sr. and his Captain
William were brothers and sons of Joseph Cloud.
The 1900 census says Marion Elisha Cloud was widowed and his sister was living with him -- but she had different parents ????
