I got out of researching for a while so I'm just now reading this. Laura was my Great Grandmother's (Elsie Daisy Kirk Shaver). Laura and Elsie married brothers - my great granpa was Lee. Sam and Lee moved out to Castleford, ID and ranched sheep. Mary Jane (their mom) moved out here with them after her divorce from William Eli Kirk. Buhl has a cemetary where they are all buried. I've been there many times and have taken pictures of the grave sites. If I can find them again, I'll put them on here or can send them to you. My parents may have more info. as my dad would have known Laura. My dad spent many summers on the ranch with Grandpa Lee and I'm sure Sam would have been there also.
Have you ever heard the stories that Mary Jane Cloud was Native American? That is one aspect I've been trying to figure out.

Thank you for responding, but this is the wrong Red Cloud. The one I am looking for was born around 1842 in S D . but left as a young man, and lived in N Caroline
and was married the first time by Abe Lincoln after slavery was dissloved. by family story written by him, He was married at least 3 times, the last being my husband's half sister at the age of 92 . In your search have you ever came across him ? He is burried in Steubenville Ohio dieing at the age of 120 . Thank you Joyce

Hi! Haven't been on this message board for awhile. Bruce Cloud Sr is your grandfather? Was he married to Ginny? Was Bruce the son of Marguerite Cloud and Armin Puck? If so, then Marguerite and my mom, Betty Ann Cloud were first cousins!

Tom, I am more impressed every time I look at what you've done with this
project.
Hal, Even if Tom does not have time to write a Journal article I think
it would be worthwhile to publish in print what he has prepared for the
web page as displayed at
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/results/interp.php (with maybe a brief
intro by either Tom or the editor).
I think we can include one 11x17 color page as the centerfold without
prohibitive cost and maybe the 8.5x11 pages before and after that in
color as well. I'll pose the question at next good opportunity unless
one of you thinks it is a worthless consideration.

I made a mistake in my previous post.
To subscribe to the Cloud DNA email forum, send your email to
cloud-dna-request(a)mykindred.com
with the word subscribe in the subject and/or body of the message. (I left out the "-request" part.)
It might be easier if you click on the "Click to join" link on the project page as all of that is automatically done for you.
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/
You can also go directly to list administrative page to subscribe:
http://mykindred.com/mailman/listinfo/cloud-dna_mykindred.com
The forum is separate from the rootsweb forum for a number of reasons, one being that, when we started, there was a lot of resistance to DNA data being posted on the genealogy forums at rootsweb.
Sorry about the mistrake.
Tom
We have had a couple of new additions to our project. One of them is for another dead-end line (unless one of you knows this line's pedigree). This is the line for Charles W. CLOUD b. circa 1830 in PA. I first find him in 1860 census in Delaware, Chester, PA with his wife Susan and sons Harlan and Charles. I am hoping the DNA results will give this family branch clues to their ancestry.
You can see his information at:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I141879&tree=mykindr...
The results for this DNA test are in (67 markers), but I haven't looked at them yet ... and they're not yet on the DNA results page.
If you're interested in following our DNA Project, I suggest you join the email forum for it. Send an email to cloud-dna(a)mykindred.com with the word subscribe in the subject and/or the body of the message.

CLOUD researchers,
I have a lot of CLOUD data but a lot of blanks or missing dates. This is what I have on my CLOUD line.
My CLOUD line starts with Jesse Whitmer CLOUD, b.Jul.14,1806 in Chester(?) Co.,PA. Jesse was married twice in PA, and again in Rush Co.,IN.
I have nothing on Jesse's parents, but he was first married to an "Evelina", in PA. Evelina died in 1832 and the 3 children were born in PA. Jesse then married Jane NELSON in PA, and Jane died in Franklin Co.,IN about 1833.
Jesse and Jane had 3 children, so Jesse had 6 children and both wifes were gone.
Jesse then married Litisha BOLING in Rush Co.,IN, on Jun.9,1844. Litisha was born Dec.20,1815 in Mercer Co.,KY and died Jan.15,1876 in Rush Co.,IN. Jesse and Litisha had 7 children and most all the CLOUD family is buried in Hopewell Cemetery, Rush Co.,IN.
The CLOUD line has many connections through southeastern Indiana. Any cousins out there? Tim

See if you can get your husband or his father or grandfather to join the Cloud DNA Project:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/
The DNA used traces the paternal line and gives a signature that can help find lines that are related. (The DNA does NOT specifically identify any one person like you see on CSI.) Any of the male CLOUD descendants of Leander could join the project and provide the DNA signature needed. It would be even better if at least two cousins could join the project.
There is a wiki at ISOGG for it:
http://isogg.org/wiki/Cloud_DNA_Project
The DNA information would tell you if your CLOUD family belongs to one of the lines already in the project. If not, it could be compared to others who have tested and this could help you find your THOMPSON connection, if any.
How can Wesley, who was b. 1936, remember the name change as his father Edward had the name CLOUD on the 1910 census and his grandfather Lee CLOUD had the name on the 1900 census?
if Snow CLOUD is the same person as Lee CLOUD, he had the CLOUD surname on the 1880 census as a boy of 7. (The "stepson" designation implies to me that Snow CLOUD was the son of Mary THOMPSON and that she was previously married to a CLOUD male.) If his mother remarried, I wonder if she would worry about changing his name due to reasons like you detail. Your family story of a name change makes more sense (to me) if Leander and Snow are not the same person.
I would like to correspond with you about this -- you can see my email address if you look under "Page Tools" in the right column and click on "Board Information" and use the administrator's contact information. You can also send me an email via the DNA Project page above. I would very much like to have your family represented in the DNA project -- like you, I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out who Leander "Lee" CLOUD's parents were, and this would be a big help in that direction. Send me an email and let's discuss it.

OK, my husbands family has always lived in the Tri-State area (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia). I love to do my family tree and i have almost 1000 members in it so far but his family tree stops at Leander (Lee) A Cloud [B:7/8/1868 in Arkansas, United States D:7/17/1948 in Burial Shanty Town Cemetery, Trenton, Dade County, Georgia]. The story in his family has always been that somewhere in the past Cloud family that the actual family name was Thompson. That sometime (I am guessing around 1920-1940) some Thompson brothers got into some trouble for abusing and possibly killing someone elses slaves in Tennessee. To avoid punishment they changed their last name to Cloud. No one knows if this is true. My husbands grandfather Wesley Cloud (Who i can find no birth records of) is still living and says that he remembers the name change. I do not know what year be was born but he is still living and i do not know if he had a first name change at this time. He is a very old man and very h!
ard to understand. I found a record of a Snow Cloud who was a stepson to a John Thompson in Marion County Tennessee with a birth date close to Lee A Cloud. But i really do not know if it a plausible connection. Any information would be handy and greatly appriciated.
