In "ABSTRACTS OF SOME DOCUMENTS OF TWIGGS COUNTY, GEORGIA" compiled by
Eleanor D. McSwain. she shows the complete Info on the Tax Digest.
JAMES CLOUD owns 101 Acres which is 1/2 of Lot No. 74/28th Dist. of
Twiggs Co. It is very near Bibb County line.
WILLIAM CLOUD does not own any property but is listed as living in Dist. 28.
JNO. CLOUD does not own any property but is listed as living in Dist. 28.
This suggests to me that JAMES could be the Father and WILLIAM CLOUD &
JNO CLOUD are sons.

Message Board Post:
I posted something similar several years ago, but was never able to resolve it.
Daniel William Cloud Jr. born 1814 KY died defending the Alamo in TX in 1836.
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I66238&tree=mykindred01
The man who possessed the letter he wrote from Louisiana just prior to arriving at the Alamo was "Sam C. Slack of San Antonio", grand-nephew of Daniel William Cloud Jr.
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/Documents/Daniel_W_Cloud letter.php
Daniel's sister Clarissa married John W. Slack. They and their children were born and lived in Kentucky. I assume Sam C. Slack is a grandson of John and Clarissa Slack.
Of all the descendants of John and Clarissa Slack I have found, not one of them is named Sam or Samuel.
Anyone know how Sam C. Slack, who donated Daniel Wm. Cloud's letter to the DRT, fits into the family?
thanks,
Tom

I don't know about the wrench...But now they have the email address and
hopefully they only send out one follow-up. I do apologize. I normally
don't get taken in by this stuff, because I normally ignore this stuff. Guess
it reinforces my need to ignore this stuff.

Tom,
Thanks for the warning.
I did open it before reading your message, which was down the list. I got a
message about Firefox continuing and allowed this. I then got a sign-in
page, which I promptly closed. I had ignored messages from 9/15/09.
I have McAfee (courtesy of Comcast) and it says I'm "protected."
Based on your experience do you think I need to take other action?

Folks,
I suggest you not open these emails -- look at the subject line before you open
them. They are not from Lura, her address is forged.
DO NOT reply -- as they might read your address book as they did with Lura and
then send their invite email to everyone in it.
They are forging email addresses in order to access our genealogy list. In thi
s case Lura Black's email address. This is unethical and may even be illegal (
but they probably are not in the U.S.).
Once again -- do not respond to them. Ignore and delete these emails. (Let me
add that the social networking sites are ways for unscrupulous people to take
advantage of people.)
.... I have looked up desktopdating.net -- apparently they ask for your email
password. There is no valid reason for them to have this information, but peop

computer savvy and they trust the site as it "looks" friendly and safe. The o

s.
Here is their traffic profile:
[1]http://www.quantcast.com/desktopdating.net
.... note that they had very few visitors back in March and now have 1.6 milli
on. A large portion of those visits are probably due to their practice of stea

It is possible that desktopdating.net is legitimate and that someone has manage

to steal email addresses. It is also possible that desktopdating.net is an un
scrupulous organization.
desktopdating.net does not look to me to be a group that I would want to have a

Folks,
I suggest you not open these emails -- look at the subject line before you open them. They are not from Lura, her address is forged.
DO NOT reply -- as they might read your address book as they did with Lura and then send their invite email to everyone in it.
They are forging email addresses in order to access our genealogy list. In this case Lura Black's email address. This is unethical and may even be illegal (but they probably are not in the U.S.).
Once again -- do not respond to them. Ignore and delete these emails. (Let me add that the social networking sites are ways for unscrupulous people to take advantage of people.)
.... I have looked up desktopdating.net -- apparently they ask for your email password. There is no valid reason for them to have this information, but people who join social networking sites often do not have their guard up or are not computer savvy and they trust the site as it "looks" friendly and safe. The only reason to have your email password is so they can steal your email addresses.
Here is their traffic profile:
http://www.quantcast.com/desktopdating.net
.... note that they had very few visitors back in March and now have 1.6 million. A large portion of those visits are probably due to their practice of stealing and forging email addresses.
It is possible that desktopdating.net is legitimate and that someone has managed to attach malware to their invitations or to forge their invitations in order to steal email addresses. It is also possible that desktopdating.net is an unscrupulous organization.
desktopdating.net does not look to me to be a group that I would want to have any dealings with and I recommend everyone else stay away also.
sincerely,
Tom Cloud

Sorry everyone. A classmate sent me a thing on desktop dating and I was
trying to respond and it checked everyone in my address book and before I
knew it, it had gone to everyone. I could not stop it. Please delete.
Thank you.
