Looking for ancestors of Richard Harold CLOUD who d. 1953 in Pueblo, CO. He was married to Betty and she had their son Terry CLOUD in Jan. 1954 in Liberal, KS.
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I163732&tree=mykindr...
Here is a newspaper article from The Southwest Daily Times (Seward, KS) of Feb. 1, 1954 about Terry's birth:
CLOUD, TERRY RICHARD
Mrs. Betty Cloud is the mother of a son Terry Richard, born yesterday at Epworth hospital. Richard Harold Cloud, the father of the baby was killed in an auto accident in Pueblo last August. Mrs. Cloud has been living here with her sister, Mrs. Patricia Bolton, at the DeSpain Trailer Courts.
I've been looking at all the CLOUD families in the area and thought there might be a link to the family of Wm. O. CLOUD (1820 VA-1869 KS) in my previous post as his family lived there.
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I196796&tree=mykindr...
For my searching I estimated that Richard was born before 1934 and his father was probably born 1880-1914. William's son Herschel Tillson CLOUD had a son named Virgil DeWayne CLOUD (1885 KS-1954 Pueblo, CO) who is a possibility but I don't have any record of children for him (he married Mildred).
If anyone can find an obit or other information for Richard Harold CLOUD who d. (I think) August 1953 in Pueblo, I'd like to have it. I've searched in Kansas and Colorado but can't find an obit.

Message Board Post:
Any clues as to the ancestry of William O. (probably Oliver) Cloud who was b. June 17, 1820 (KS census indicates he was b. VA) and d. July 16, 1869 in Anderson cty, KS. He married Lucy B. TILSON / TILLSON June 20, 1855 in Decatur, Adams, IN. Lucy had previously been married to Earl BOURNE and had one son (that I know of), Virgil Carl BOURNE (1846-1885).
Lucy was the d/o Gershom Palmer TILLSON (1796 VT-1870 IN) and Nancy STEWART (1797 NJ-1876 IN).
Gershom TILLSON's daughter Lucy (above) married Wm. O. CLOUD. His grandson by the same name (1859 IN-1936 CO) married William and Lucy's daughter Caroline CLOUD, first cousins.
William O. CLOUD had a son named William Oliver CLOUD which is why I think his middle name might be Oliver.
You can see what I have here:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I196796&tree=mykindr...
I have been unable to find William on 1850 census. Any clues as to his parents would be appreciated.

It appears to me there are two misconceptions that are regularly attributed to the CLOUD surname and family, in this order:
1 - a native American origin
2 - a Scottish or Western European origin
(I still cling to my belief our origins were in the Hebrides, off the western coast of Scotland ... but data below will show that I probably need to realign my thinking.)
The AmerIndian origin is easily disproved, though we do have some truly American Indian branches and also intermarriages in our family branches with Indian women.
Regarding our relation to Scotland, particularly the MacLEOD clan and its septs (MacHLEJD, MacLEOD, MacLOT, McCLOUD, McLEOD) .....
Consider these observations:
- The MacLEOD clan traces its origins to LEOD who lived in the early to mid 13th century, the son of Olaf the Black.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_MacLeod
- We have evidence of the de la CLOUDE name and CLOUDESLEY surname in Wiltshire, where William CLOUDE's family lived, during the same period and, by inference, perhaps even earlier than that. I've not found proof our family is related to them, but I believe the surname and location are strong evidences of that.
http://cloudhistory.com/1cdocs/delacloud.php
This could mean that the MacLEOD clan originated with a CLOUD rather than the other way around, but that's not their history, so it appears the "relation" is based purely on the similarity of the surname, as is the case with the perceived American Indian connection.
- a comparison of the DNA results from our CLOUD and the MacLEOD projects shows no relation -- in fact, most lines there are hugely distant from the line of William CLOUDE the immigrant:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/results/cloud-macleod.php
(But a clan, by definition, consists of many surnames, families who have taken on the name of the Laird for his protection. It is possible that an original clan founder's line may have daughtered out and there might be no Y-DNA from him in a current DNA Project's results, but the MacLEOD's claim to have data from lines tracing back to Leod.)
- Consider that the closest "relative" to the line of William CLOUDE appears to be the Jewish ROGOV family from Russia.
http://mykindred.com/L47x/
I apologize that many of the links on that page are broken -- it's one of many pages I've done that now languish in disrepair. Take a look at one of the cladograms:
http://mykindred.com/L47x/images/L47modal_with464.png
This is supposed to represent the surnames branching off from the L47 SNP and the length of the lines is supposed to represent the genetic distance each has from where it branches from other lines. (I use the word "supposed" because I created this cladogram and I don't claim to know what I was doing.)
Note the CLOUDE surname down at the bottom and trace it back and you will see that it branches with HILLMAN and further back ROGOV.
If the fast-moving DYS-464 markers are ignored, the cladogram looks like this:
http://mykindred.com/L47x/images/L47modal_wout464.png
Now Wm CLOUDE the immigrant's line branches with ROGOV and CHESHIRE and HILLMAN is further back (in time, if you assume the mutation events occurred in one direction). Bottom line -- we appear to be more closely related to Eastern European lines than those from the West.
(In explanation -- the line of Wm. CLOUDE the immigrant belongs to a subclade of the R1b haplogroup known as U106 and then L47. The "x" means that there is no known subclade (i.e. SNP) downstream of it. This is already outdated as there appear to be several SNPs downstream of it but I don't know that any of them have made it onto the "official" phylogenetic haplogroup tree.)
http://www.isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpR.html
(On the above tree, search for "L47" to see our last officially recognized SNP or haplogroup.)
- I'm told by an administrator of the U106 Project that one of our markers is indicative of an Eastern European origin (and Scotland is, of course, in far Western Europe). I had hoped to learn more about this at the recent DNA Conference, but it didn't happen.
In May of this year, Charles Moore, an admin of the U106 Project, wrote to me:
"... we generally analyze the results by the DNA first, and geography second. This is because generally the DNA data results that we have are the result of mutations that took place before our ancestors moved to the locations that we know about.
In the case of the Cloud family, this family has the Eastern Ivanhoe result 462=10, which occurs at an extremely slow-changing STR, which therefore takes on an almost SNP-like reliability (ie = the presumption that those with this result all descend collectively from a single ancestor who had this change occur in his DNA).
Whereas, the other British Ivanhoers -- Cheshire and Grant -- have the ancestral result 462=11.
So, from a DNA standpoint, Cloud is correctly grouped with the Easterners, even though the family is from Wiltshire.
Exactly what this means is open to debate, but the data could be used to surmise that the interesting bifurcation in this group is the result of a movement from Britain to EE, rather than the other way around."
Unfortunately, the DYS-462 marker is in the 111 marker panel and most of our Project participants have not expanded to that level.
The above-referenced DNA results do not show the 111-marker results. Here is a beta page which does. It is not divided into groups, so you'll have to poke around looking at it:
http://cloud-assn.org/dna/index.php?p=makehtml
Do a search for "462" and it will highlight the column heading for that STR. It is just slightly less than halfway through the 111 marker panel (there are bold vertical lines delineating the 12, 25, 37, 67 and 111 marker panels).
Here is the data on the FTDNA site:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/cloud/?iframe=ydnacolor
I hope this gives some food for thought regarding the origin of the line of William CLOUDE, immigrant to the American Colonies.

This is the William Cloud whose son was Robert Cloud. This Robert was accused of a crime but was found innocent. He married and I believe the line eventually came down to Margaret Cloud who married Joseph Boner Case. This line seems not to have been proven out as much as some others.
Help is appreciated.

>> Frederick County, Virginia, and find the Clouds in North Carolina, where
>> they were reputed to be large landowners, and then we find the family of
>> Cloud in Camden District, South Carolina, bearing the names of William and
>> Joseph, thus fully tallying with the tradition and in point to time fully
>> corroborating the assertion, making it thus certain that the Cloud family
>> of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina are one and the same family.
>>
>> William Cloud went from Calne, Wiltshire, England, to Pennsylvania, and on
>> September 8th and 9th, 1681, was granted 500 acres of land by William
>> Penn. On October 7, 1682, he purchased land which was afterward laid out in
>> Concord township. He died in 1702. He mentions in his will the following
>> children, William, Jeremiah, Joseph, John and Robert Cloud. Without going
>> into the entire genealogy of the family, which can be found in the Potts
>> Genealogy in the Library of Congress, we find that one of these sons,
>> Jeremiah Cloud, died at Naamans Creek, leaving the following children by
>> Elizabeth Bailey: Jeremiah, William, Mordecai, John and Daniel. William
>> Cloud, on of the sons, left a will dated May 12, 1749. He leaves 400 acres
>> to his son Henry, 400 acres to Jeremiah, and the balance to Daniel Cloud,
>> these lands being in Frederick County, Virginia. He mentions further, his
>> wife Elizabeth; sons William, Joseph, Mordecai, daughters Margaret and
>> Elizabeth Booth. Daniel Cloud was a soldier in Virginia Colonial Troops. In
>> a communication from the Clerk of the Court of Frederick County, Va., dated
>> May 14, 1910, in which he says: "That the will of Mordecai Cloud was
>> admitted to probate in 1789, that he does not find the wills of either
>> Joseph or William Cloud, that there are a number of grants to the from the
>> Clouds of record in this office, the earliest being admitted to record in
>> 1749. Until recently there was a family of Clouds in this County who have
>> moved away". We thus definitely trace them to Virginia as early as 1749,
>> and finding no record of either William or Joseph Cloud, the brothers of
>> Jeremiah, Henry, Mordecai and Daniel, we are forced to the conclusion that
>> they moved away, and thus the tradition is borne out as to their having
>> gone to South Carolina and that the family of Cloud were all of the same
>> stock, for we find that William Cloud, of Virgnia, married Alice Hardin,
>> and that her son, Joseph Cloud, of Camden, later Kershaw and Fairfield
>> Districts, was born in South Carolina in 1770, married Martha Nettles,
>> daughter of Zacharia Nettles of South Carolina and Nancy Schofield of North
>> Carolina (perhaps daughter of Joseph Schofield found in census returns of
>> North Carolina, but not in South Carolina).
>>
>> (Note--The census returns of 1790 shows Clouds in North and South
>> Carolina. WE find among the Virginia Militia, March 18, 1834, Patrick
>> County, Virginia, a William Cloud private and lietenant in the War of
>> Revolution who, though applying as a Virginia soldier, may have been the
>> William Cloud of South Carolina. Also in a list of those who received
>> grants numerous Hardings or Hardins inVirginia at an early period.
>> Zachariah Nettles was one of a jury in South Carolina, who patriotic
>> utterances classed them as a band of patriots. Abraham Nettles of Fluvanna
>> County was a Revolutionary soldier of Virginia. There was an ancient
>> English family who went to Ireland about 1660. William Nettles of
>> Nettletown was head of this branch. (See Burke’s Landed Gentry).
>>
>> The census returns of South Carolina of 1790, for Fairfield County, Camden
>> District, given as head of a family Zacharia Nettles, and also William and

>>
>> In a will dated September 10, 1806, by William Nettles, in County of
>> Kershaw, town of Camden, South Carolina, he mentions his wife, Margery, his
>> sons, Zachariah and Benjamin, daughters Nancy, Patty and Dorkis, brother,
>> Zachariah. William Nettles was a planter and we find in "Historic Camden"

>> Force…..Before taking command of ATC, Gen. Maddux served in key positions
>> in the Pacific area for six years. During 1965-66, he was Fice Commander in

>> weight in two yars. In the latter part of 1845, he married Mahulda Schultz.
>> He was too old to take part in the Civil War but sympathized with the South
>> because he was a slaveholder. Notwithstanding that fact, he was broadminded

>> The following is from "Old Time Tazewell" by Alexander Moore Cloud
>>
>> "I do not know definitely when the first school was taught in Tazewell,
>> but I suppose it was not earlier than 1822. My father (Benjamin Franklin
>> Cloud) attended a school at Yaokum’s Station in Powell’s Valley in 1820-21.
>> His teacher was Michael Miles, an Irishman. Prof. Miles, who had been
>> teaching school for more than fifty years, had come to America in 1773 for
>> the purpose of instructing the children of a wealthy planter in Virginia.
>> He moved from Virginia to Witauga and taught there a number of years, but
>> was later persuaded by his friends to migrate with them to Claiborne
>> County, Tennessee. When my father entered school at Yoakum’s Station he
>> wore long hair which he said his teacher seemed to take pleasure in
>> pulling. He told the man with whom he was boarding about the unpleasant
>> affair and was advised to have his hair cut. He followed this advice the
>> same evening after dinner. The next morning when he went to school the old
>> Professor came to his seat and smilingly patted him on the head, saying,
>> "Now, me boy, you have removed a great burden from off your brain and will
>> be able to work your sums better". The next school my father attended was
>> at Tazewell in 1822. This was taught by Walter Evans, Sr. I do not have any
>> of the books my father studied except an arithmetic that he and Michael
>> Miles made in 1820. The problems in that book are very interesting. For
>> instance one reads as follows: "A man had three slaves, Stephen, Fillis and
>> Andy. He sold Stephen for $1,575, Fillis for $980, and Any for $815. How
>> much money did he get for the three, and what was the average price of each
>> slave?". Another reads: "If a man has $2.17 how much whiskey can he buy at
>> twenty five cents per gallon?".

>>
>> August 7, 1853
>>
>> Dear Sir:
>>
>> I am informed by Doct. James Fulkerson that we are about to be disturbed
>> in the possession of our Virginia lands. I have advised with the legal men
>> of my state that the course they are pursuing is illegal. The proper one
>> for them to pursue to bring suit against some one of your citizens to see
>> who has the best legal title. If they do not pursue that course it proves,
>> beyond doubt that their title is a defective one. We must repulse them by
>> force, and keep them off by force. It is time that the thing was set about.
>> They should not (edge of paper missing) ___________let no possession be
>> taken on the grant they have. The law will set them out in a month.
>>
>> Now sir, away yourselves, and _________let no possession be taken. You
>> must enlist 200 men to drive them out. The Crabtrees said they would go and
>> see the Chadwells and everybody and reason the facts of the case and tell
>> them the evil consequences of ___________ and that our land might be taken.
>> Do not submit to this course of proceedings. This is the safe plan, and the
>> time to commence is early--Go and See the people and get them up in the
>> notion that it is an imposition against the County. I will be over as soon
>> as I can. Commence the operation soon. Doctor Fulkerson will be over soon.
>>
>> I am with you in any way to obtain the consent of the people. Speak to
>> Wash. Cloud.
>>
>> I am your friend,

>> Signed B.F. Cloud

You might want to take a look at my data www.cloudgenweb.com. My data and

I think Nathanial was the son of Joseph (?) who was the son of Nathaniel.
That Nathaniel's father or grandfather was Robert Cloud, son of William
Cloud. Both these last were born in Wilshire, England. I have misplaced
my genealogy papers and so am going on memory. If anyone has any of this
traced I would appreciate you sharing. I had Ancestry.com, but none if that
"counts" for lineage organizations. ...
I had given up but got inspired again when I saw recent posts. So, I
thought I would ask for help.

Notes for Capt William Jesse Cloud:
DECLARATION OF CAPT. WILLIAM CLOUD
Virginia, Grayson County) S.S.
On the 30th day of November 1832 personally appeared in open court before
the County Court of Grayson now sitting William Cloud, a resident of the
said county of Grayson and state of Virginia, aged eighty-three years who
being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the
following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of
Congress passed June 7, 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States as a volunteer private
soldier under Captain James Lyon in the fall of the year 1776, the
declarant then being a resident of the present county of Patrick, Virginia,
it then being the county of Henry. He marched in said company with an
expedition Commanded by Colonel William Christian of the county of
Botetourt, Virginia, as declarant believes against the Cherokee towns, a
distance of three hundred miles through the wilderness. On this expedition,
many Indian towns and crops were destroyed, and Mrs. Beane, who had been
taken by the Indians, was rescued and restored to her friends. The
Declarant does not recollect the precise time he was absent on this
expedition, but supposes he was in service at least three months. The
Declarant received no discharge for this tour because of the provisions
given out in the wilderness on the return of the troops, they were directed
to disperse and to make their way home as best they could. The hardships he
underwent in the expedition produced a fever on his return which confirmed
him a long time and was near proving fatal.
Soon after he recovered his health sufficiently, he was detached with about
twenty others by the County of Henry----he still residing in that county–on
expedition across the mountains as far as the Lead Mines, now in Wythe
County, Virginia. The object of this expedition was to reconnoiter and
obtain information of the proceedings of the Tories and disaffected persons
who at that time abounded in that section of the country. He and party took
one Torie prisoner and delivered him to Colonel Lynch who was then
stationed at the Lead Mines for the purpose of keeping down the Tories and
disaffected. The Declarant thinks he was in the service between twenty and
thirty days, and that it took place in the spring or summer of 1777. Soon
after this he found the situation of his family so unsafe where he then
resided in consequence of the depredations of the Tories and his frequent
calls from home that he removed them to the lower end of Henry County, on
Smith River where he placed tem among friends. He was then appointed a
Lieutenant under Captain John Purtle, but not commissioned in consequence
of the unsettled state of affairs. Being an expert woodsman he was
frequently detached on short expeditions against the Tories among the
mountains, where they (Tories) were exceedingly troublesome. He remained
about two months as Lieutenant under Captain Purtle, during which
time–although he was not constantly in actual service–his service was more
harassing than a regular tour of duty would have been as he was required to
keep himself constantly alert and ready for call, and was frequently called
upon, so that he could not attend to his domestic matters to any advantage.
He left his family where he had placed them as above stated and returned to
the upper end of the county where he had formerly resided in order to be
nearer the scene of danger and of action, and to render what service he
could in keeping down the Tories who almost overran the southwestern
frontier counties of Virginia and the adjacent counties of North Carolina.
He was immediately appointed Lieutenant under Captain Jonathan Hamby and
was then commissioned as such by the Governor of Virginia. His commission
was burnt he believes among his other papers some prior years ago when his
house was burnt.
In this company he continued to serve until nearly the close of the war
when he was promoted to the command of the said company. During the whole
of this last mentioned period, he was complete Minute-Man, being constantly
on the alert, marching to and fro as occasion required, and being engaged
in a number of short expeditions which is impossible for him to recollect
in detail.
While Lieutenant under Captain Hanby as above stated, he served three
months actual service being stationed at Headspeth and Megowans, the then
County of Patrick, went on several expeditions in the neighborhood against
the Tories who committed great devastations and who during the time killed
William Fletcher, a Whig. In this town he served as Lieutenant under
Eliphas Shelton in the year 1777 as well as he recalls.
In the year 1781, the Declarant still being a commissioned Lieutenant
volunteered as a private soldier and served fifteen days under Maj. or
Colonel Lyon Company officers not recollected, and attempted to find Gen.
Green but could not do so until after the battle of Guilford and as they
could not aid in the battle they returned home.
The Declarant was born in the month of September the 17th day in the year
1750 old style as appears by a transcript from his family register now in
his possession in the County of Rowan State of North Carolina. He was
resident of the County of Henry State of Virginia, when he first served a
tour of duty – when he served the other times he was a resident of the
County of Henry (now Patrick). He was resident since the Revolutionary War
in the County of Grayson now established, but for a considerable part of
this time, his residence was first in the County of Henry, then Patrick the
counties having been subdivided several times. He still resides in the
County of Grayson State of Virginia.
He served during the Revolutionary War five months & five days as a private
soldier and five months as Lieutenant. He always returned from every tour
he served. He has no discharge & has no documentary evidence of his
services. He was not acquainted with any regular Officers being always in
the militia services under Militia Officers. He is known to Archibald
Stuart and William Carter (there being no minister in his neighborhood) who
can testify to his character for veracity and their belief of his services
as a soldier of the revolution. He knows of no living witness by whom to
prove his services except Maj. William Carter of the County of Patrick and
Maj. John Bedd of the County of Henry.
He recollects particularly two expeditions rather longer than the others.
One into Wilkes County, North Carolina, against the Tories, and one to meet
General Green (Nathaniel) in order to join his army. Major or Colonel Lyon,
under whom he was a volunteer – though still holding the office of
Lieutenant in Hanby’s Company – got lame and returned with his company,
upon which Major Peter Hunston "beat up for volunteers" of which the
Declarant was one, and again attempted to join Green's army. But before
that could be effected, the Battle of Guilford was fought, and he returned
to his command at home.
During a considerable portion of the time he was Lieutenant under Hamby,
the said Hamby was in the Carolina on a tour of duty, and the command of
the _____ with all its responsibilities devolved on him. The Declarant
cannot ascertain the precise length of time he was in active service during
the Revolutionary War. The nature of his service renders it impossible that
he do so. But he can say and does say that during the whole war that he was
constantly either in actual service, or ready and liable to be engaged
therein, and he believed that if he could ascertain the precise time in the
actual service, it would not fall short of two or three years. He further
states that during the whole period of the war, his private affairs were
almost entirely neglected, as he could not call one day his own. The
Declarant has no documentary in his power to prove his service, and
witnesses by whom he could prove it live in another county, are aged and
infirm; however, and their evidence cannot be procured without great
trouble and expense. If, however, he could procure the affidavits of these
persons in time, he will do so, and forward it with this declaration. He
lived in North Carolina near the line, his former residence. A short time
after the close of the war, he removed to his present residence,
thirty-five years ago (1797). It was then a part of Patrick County, but has
since been attached (annexed) to Grayson County.
He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity, except the
present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency
of any state.
Sworn to and subscribed this day and year aforesaid.

William Cloud, born 17 Sep 1750; died 8 Feb 1842: married first
Adeline Martin; married second Mary Morgan; married third
Nancy Vaughn, served as a Lieutenant from Virginia.
Notes added from Ray Shirley's data: Sep 05:
Since William Cloud paid taxes in both Henry (later Grayson) County, VA and
Surry County, NC, he must have owned land in both states. This also would
explain why he was appointed to jury duty in both states.
William had obtained grants for large acreage in what later became East
Tennessee. In 1808, he appointed his son, William Morgan Cloud of Hawkins
County, TN to be his attorney in "all his land affairs on the Western
Waters, particular in a certain tract of land held by the heirs of Samuel
Cummings, being on Elk Creek in State of Tennessee, 5,000 acres, which land
he claims with just title to in part with my brother, Isaac Cloud."
On the 30th day of August, 1832, William personally appeared in open court
before the County Court of Grayson, VA in order to obtain the benefits of
the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. He was making application of
pension based upon his military service during the Revolutionary War. He
was eighty-two when he filed his application.

George C.H. Kernion wrote "William Cloud, who went to North Carolina after
1776. He later on visited his brother, John Cloud, in north Louisiana. He
is said to have died at the advanced age of 114 years. He is said to have a
sight as good, as family tradition records it, that the could kill a
squirrel in the tall pine trees with his rifle, and without glasses."

Notes for Mary Cloud:
Mary Cloud was not an Indian. She was from a very old English family, who
were prominent in Claiborne County, TN. When the Clouds were holding
various offices in Claiborne County, TN, no Indian was allowed to even
vote, much less hold the office of Sheriff. John Turner settled on land
that had been taken from the Indians, as did his son John Turner, Jr. The
Turners were notorious Indian haters and fighters, having lived through the
last attacks by the Cherokee in VA. this was told by David Rains

Cumberland Gap Patriot
John Turner
John Turner was born North Carolina. His exact birth date is unknown. All
the
information we have on him is from he pension of his wife and son.
Turner's pension starts off telling about him joining the North Carolina
1st Continental
regiment in August 1777. His unit is marched first to Williamsburg VA and
Richmond
VA where his unit is inoculated against Small pox. Three percent (3%) of all
Continental Soldiers died from allergic reactions to the inoculations. The
troops were
then sailed to New Jersey to wait for the upcoming battle at Brandywine PA.
On September 11,1777,General Howe of the British army planned two separate
attacks on the American line. Knyphausen,Hessian Commander would attack the
center of the line while Cornwallis would attack on the Continental Right
wing after
out flanking the Continentals.
The North Carolina line saw very little action at Brandywine. Most of the
North
Carolinians were part of the reserve at Birmingham house. It was here where
the
Virginians fought off the British with such valor forcing them to withdraw
5 times
before taking the house and hill where it was located.
Some of the North Carolina troops who were considered the best sharpshooters
were sent to the center of the line at chads Ford where they met Knyphausen
Forces.
The British soon routed the American line forcing Wayne's and Maxwell's
divisions to
retreat and capturing 11 cannons.
On October 4,1777 Turner participated in the battle of Germantown PA. Here
the
North Carolina line saw heavy fighting. The North Carolina Brigade lost
their
commander, General Francis Nash who almost got his leg blown off during the
battle
after being hit with a canon ball. The Americans were winning this battle
until.
American Commander General Stephens ordered his men to fire upon the
Americans
line located in a deep fog. The Continentals were forced to withdraw.
On December 19,1777, Turner marched into Valley Forge with the rest of the
North
Carolina regiments. At Valley Forge, the North Carolina regiments suffered
the most
of any of the state regiments. They received less clothes and food than any
of the
other State regiments At Valley forge, 323 North Carolinians were placed in
the
infirmary due to various illnesses where 204 died. 250 men were deemed
unfit for
duty because their clothes had become like rags and they had no shoes.
The most exciting event to happen at Valley Forge concerning the North
Carolina
regiment was when several North Carolinians tried to desert. One man tried
to steal
a horse. This man was caught and almost flogged to death.
On June 28, 1778, Turner and his North Carolina brigade became part of
Lafayette
Brigade at the battle of Monmouth. The North Carolinians saw very little
fighting
here.
On July 15, 1779, Turner and the North Carolinas saw action at the battle
of Stony
Point NY. Here the North Carolinians made a diversionary frontal attack on
the
garrison. The Americans won this battle decisively.
After this battle the Turner and his North Carolina regiment was sent to
several forts
in the Hudson valley. In September 1779, several men from each of the North
Carolina brigade were sent to participate in the battle of Savannah GA on
September
16, 1779.
The battle of Savannah was the second bloodiest battle fought during the
Revolutionary war Over 1100 Continentals was killed and 543 wounded. This
battle
could have been won if the Americans had not agreed to a truce the day
before to
see if the British would agree to surrender. During the truce, the British
fortified the
garrison making it almost impossible to capture. Also another British
regiment
arrived on the scene making defeat a certainty.
What North Carolinians didn't participate in the battle of Savannah were
forced to
march in 3 feet of snow on their way to Charleston. In April 1780 at
Charleston,
Turner participated in a 40 day siege in which the Americans were defeated.
Over
5000 men were taken prisoner and then paroled if they agreed not to fight
the
British again.
Turner would fight at the battle of Eutaw springs on September 8, 1781 this
was the last
major battle and bloodiest battle ever fought in South Carolina. After this
battle
Turner was sent to James Island Sc. James Island claims to be the location
the last
shots occurred between Tories and the Sc militia in November 1782. James
Island
would also be famous during the Civil war being where the Confederates
fired from
at Fort Sumter.
In 1782, Turner moved to Stokes county NC where he married Mary Cloud. They
had 6 children from this union. Turner later moved to Claiborne County
where he
died on October 16,1825.
The most famous and bloodiest family feud to occur in Bell county Kentucky
was
between descendents of Turner and the Sowders' family that happened during
the
civil war. Over 27 individuals were killed during this family feud.

Middlesboro and it's Early History
Middlesboro: This 3rd class city is 1 mile west of the Cumberland Gap and 8
miles south of Pineville. At or near the site of a pioneer Yellow Creek
settlement made around 1810 by John Turner of Virginia.
info from...Clear Fork and More
by...Bonnie M Page
The first white settlers on Yellow Creek were from the Valley of Virginia.
Passing Wolf Hills (now Abingdon) and down Powells River, they erected a
block house at Chadwell Station in Lee Co VA, for protection against the
Indians. The leader of this settlement was David Chadwell. John Turner,
David Chadwell's brother in law, at length left the Chadwell Station block
house and led a number of pioneers to Yellow Creek where they put up a
block house and established the first permanent white settlement on the
creek. In this migration with Turner were Thomas Marsee, Thomas Beard,
George Parker, and men named Raines, Lane, Green, and Jones with their
respective families.

An ancient house of Norman - french origin. The Turners appear in England
at the time of the Conquest. In the thirty five different branches of the
British family there are as many varied coats of arms. The distinguishing
feature of a majority of these is the mill rind in which the center of the
milstone is set, indicating that the early Turners were millwrights or
millers.
Name first found in Oxfordshire in midland England where they had been
seated from very ancient times about the year 1066

1790. He married *(2) Sarah "Sallie" Lankford*.
Notes for Issac Cloud:
Isaac Cloud's genealogy was supplied by Albert Cloud.
Harry Hogan wrote:
What earlier researchers (apparently) missed - up until several years ago
when CFA's own Sandra Lovett discovered a particular deed record of 1785
while going through miscellaneous loose papers in the N.C. Archives - was
that this Isaac had two wives. That 1785 record makes clear that Isaac at
that time had a wife named Ursula. Since we know from other sources (incl.
Lankford family histories) that he and wife Sally Lankford had children
born after that date, we naturally can conclude that Ursula was wife number
one and that she died some time after 1785.
The reason for concluding that Isaac Jr. was Ursula's son (rather than
Sally's) is that he himself had a daughter by that name (Ursula DiDamie
Cloud; m. Elisha White).* The 1850 census (Murray Co., GA) pegs his date of
birth as 1787. If that's accurate (and it jibes with the less specific age
ranges supplied by the 1830 and 1840 censuses), it means that Ursula was
still living until at least that time. At any rate, it looks as though she
(Ursula) was dead - and Isaac remarried - by 1790. She may well have died
in giving birth to Isaac Jr. - See more at:

Notes for John Sr. Turner:
John Turner
John Turner was born North Carolina. His exact birth date is unknown. All
the information we have on him is from he pension of his wife and son.
Tuner?s pension for the North Carolina 1st Continental regiment in August
1777. His unit is marched first to Williamsburg VA and Richmond VA where
his unit is inoculated against Small pox. Three percent (3%) of all
Continental Soldiers died from allergic reactions to the inoculations. The
troops were then sailed to New Jersey to wait for the upcoming battle at
Brandywine PA.
On September 11, 1777, General Howe of the British army planned two
separate attacks on the American line. Knyphausen, Hessian Commander would
attack the center of the line while Cornwallis would attack on the
Continental Right wing after out flanking the Continentals.
The North Carolina line saw very little action at Brandywine. Most of the
North Carolinians were part of the reserve at Birmingham house. It was here
where the Virginians fought off the British with such valor forcing them to
withdraw 5 times before taking the house and hill where it was located.
Some of the North Carolina troops who were considered the best
sharpshooters were sent to the center of the line at chads Ford where they
met Knyphausen Forces. The British soon routed the American line forcing
Wayne?s and Maxwell?s divisions to retreat and capturing 11 cannons.
On October 4, 1777 Turner participated in the battle of Germantown PA. Here
the North Carolina line saw heavy fighting. The North Carolina Brigade lost
their commander, General Francis Nash who almost got his leg blown off
during the battle after being hit with a canon ball. The Americans were
winning this battle until. American Commander General Stephens ordered his
men to fire upon the Americans line located in a deep fog. The Continentals
were forced to withdraw.
On December 19, 1777, Turner marched into Valley Forge with the rest of the
North Carolina regiments. At Valley Forge, the North Carolina regiments
suffered the most of any of the state regiments. They received less clothes
and food than any of the other State regiments At Valley forge, 323 North
Carolinians were placed in the infirmary due to various illnesses where 204
died. 250 men were deemed unfit for duty because their clothes had become
like rags and they had no shoes.
The most exciting event to happen at Valley Forge concerning the North
Carolina regiment was when several North Carolinians tried to desert. One
man tried to steal a horse. This man was caught and almost flogged to death.
On June 28, 1778, Turner and his North Carolina brigade became part of
Lafayette brigade at the battle of Monmouth. The North Carolinians saw very
little fighting here.
On July 15, 1779, Turner and the north Carolinas saw action at the battle
of Stony Point NY. Here the North Carolinians made a diversionary frontal
attack on the garrison. The Americans won this battle decisively.
After this battle the Turner and his North Carolina regiment was sent to
several forts in the Hudson valley. In September 1779, several men from
each of the North Carolina brigade were sent to participate in the battle
of Savannah GA on September 16, 1779.
The battle of savannah was the second bloodiest battle fought during the
Revolutionary war Over 1100 Continentals was killed and 543 wounded. This
battle could have been won if the Americans had not agreed to a truce the
day before to see if the British would agree to surrender. During the
truce, the British fortified the garrison making it almost impossible to
capture. Also another British regiment arrived on the scene making defeat a
certainty.
What North Carolinians didn?t participate in the battle of Savannah were
forced to march in 3 feet of snow on their way to Charleston. In April 1780
at Charleston, Turner participated in a 40 day siege in which the Americans
were defeated. Over 5000 men were taken prisoner and then paroled if they
agreed not to fight the British again.
Turner would fight at the battle of Eutaw springs on September 8, 1781 this
was last major battle and Bloodiest battle ever fought in South Carolina.
After this battle Turner was sent to James Island Sc. James Island claims
to be the location the last shots occurred between Tories and the Sc
militia in November 1782. James Island would also be famous during the
Civil war being where the Confederates fired from at Fort Sumter.
In 1782, Turner moved to Stokes county NC where he married Mary Cloud. They
had 6 children from this union. Turner later moved to Claiborne County
where he died on October 16, 1825.
The most famous and bloodiest family feud to occur in Bell county Kentucky
was between descendents of Turner and the Sowders? family that happened
during the civil war. Over 27 individuals were killed during this family
feud.

>>> "I do not know definitely when the first school was taught in Tazewell,

>>> Cloud) attended a school at Yaokum’s Station in Powell’s Valley in 1820-21.
>>> His teacher was Michael Miles, an Irishman. Prof. Miles, who had been
>>> teaching school for more than fifty years, had come to America in 1773 for
>>> the purpose of instructing the children of a wealthy planter in Virginia.
>>> He moved from Virginia to Witauga and taught there a number of years, but
>>> was later persuaded by his friends to migrate with them to Claiborne
>>> County, Tennessee. When my father entered school at Yoakum’s Station he
>>> wore long hair which he said his teacher seemed to take pleasure in
>>> pulling. He told the man with whom he was boarding about the unpleasant
>>> affair and was advised to have his hair cut. He followed this advice the
>>> same evening after dinner. The next morning when he went to school the old
>>> Professor came to his seat and smilingly patted him on the head, saying,
>>> "Now, me boy, you have removed a great burden from off your brain and will
>>> be able to work your sums better". The next school my father attended was
>>> at Tazewell in 1822. This was taught by Walter Evans, Sr. I do not have any
>>> of the books my father studied except an arithmetic that he and Michael
>>> Miles made in 1820. The problems in that book are very interesting. For
>>> instance one reads as follows: "A man had three slaves, Stephen, Fillis and
>>> Andy. He sold Stephen for $1,575, Fillis for $980, and Any for $815. How
>>> much money did he get for the three, and what was the average price of each
>>> slave?". Another reads: "If a man has $2.17 how much whiskey can he buy at
>>> twenty five cents per gallon?".

>>> They should not (edge of paper missing) ___________let no possession be

>>> Now sir, away yourselves, and _________let no possession be taken. You

Cloud Family
Alexander Moore Cloud wrote the following concerning the origin of the
Cloud name:
"As to the data concerning the Cloud Family prior to 1682, I must admit
that I have but little. However, from such fragments of history and
tradition that has filtered down through the family, I have gleaned the
following facts:
During the latter part of the sixteenth century among the smaller clans of
Scotland, there was one clan by name of MacCloud. An epidemic of smallpox
visited this clan during one of the coldest winters that Scotland has ever
had. As a result of this disease, the MacCloud clan came very near being
wiped off the earth. Only three women and two men survived. The women
married and remained in Scotland, but the two men left that country. One
went to Ireland and his descendants are called McCloud. The other went to
Wilshire, England, and purchased a large tract of land. He had studied law,
therefore, he easily got into England’s political circles, and in order to
appear a native born Englishman, he dropped the "Mac" thinking perhaps that
that would give him greater prestige with the English people. This man was
father of five children, two sons and three daughters. His youngest son
went to France and married at the age of 48. He had only two children, one
a boy and one a girl. His son Abner Cloud, became a Catholic priest and
died without marrying, because it is contrary to the rules of that church
for its priests to marry.
The oldest son of the Wilshire MacCloud, William, who was named in honor of
his father’s friend, William Penn, remained in England until he married and
reared several children, with whom he came to America in 1682, and was
given a grant of land by William Penn. So far as I know, he and his six
children were the first Clouds that came to America. I shall only mention
his son, Jeremire, who married Elizabeth Bailey in 1685. He was the father
of eight children. His oldest son, Jeremire, Jr., married Annie Bailey (not
a relative of his mother) about 1710 and as a result of this marriage seven
children were born.
One of these children, William, married Mary Pierce in 1739 and had eight
children. His youngest son, Jesse, married Mary Allen in 1769, and had four
children. Jesse’s son, Joseph Cloud, my great-grandfather, married Nancy
Moore, a lenial descendant of Sir John Moore. He first settled in Stokes
County, N.C. where he lived for several years, but in the latter part of
the nineteenth century he came to Tennessee and entered a large boundary of
land around Bean Station. Joseph’s son, Benjamin Cloud, married Mary
Chadwell about the year 1799 and moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee,
purchased a farm in Mulberry Valley and lived on it until he came to
Tazewell in 1816. He was a citizen of Tazewell for 28 years, after which he
moved to Chadwell’s Station, Va., where he remained until his death in
1846."
The following was published in the National Gen. Society Quarterly, July
191:
The Cloud Family of Pa. and Va.
William Cloud of Calne, Wiltshire, Eng., settled in Pa. c. 1680 and we find
that Wm. Penn granted him 8 Sept., 1681, 500 acres to be laid out in Pa.

2. Jeremiah, b. _________, d. 1719 m. Elizabeth Bailey in 1685
3. Joseph, b. ___________, d. _____m. Mary Moore
4. John, b. _____________, d._____m. Ann Beson
5. Robert, b. ____________, d. ________
6. Susanne, b. ___________, d. ________

Children:
a. Jeremiah m. Ann Bailey, c. 1710. He died 1738
b. William Cloud m. Elizabeth __________
c. Mordecai
d. Daniel
e. John
f. Hannah
g. Sarah
h. Elizabeth
William Cloud (Jeremiah, William) and Elizabeth had three children: (note
"three must be an error)
1. Henry Cloud
2. Jeremiah
3. Daniel
4. William (appears to have gone to S. Car.)
5. Mordecai
6. Joseph (appears to have gone to S. Car.)
7. Margaret
8. Elizabeth
9. Mabel
Will of William Cloud, of Brandywine Hundred made May 12, 1747 mentions son
Henry, 400 acres Frederick County, Va., ; son Jeremiah 400 acres same
county; son Daniel, remainder of land; wife Elizabeth, sons William,
Mordecai and Joseph, daughters Margaret, Elizabeth and Mabel Askew.
The records of Frederick County show that there were deeds of land to the
Clouds, and further, as William, Mordecai and Joseph received no land by
father’s will and no further account is given of them in the book, and as
the other brothers did evidently go to Virginia, there seems no room for
doubt that William, Mordecai and Joseph not only went there, but proceeded
to North and South Carolina, and the census shows that the Clouds bearing
some of these names were in these states in 170; and so with the tradition
in the family that the Clouds were from Pennsylvania and Virginia, it would
appear without a doubt that the South Carolina family descends from William
Cloud of Pennsylvania. We find William Cloud, of Virginia line, as a
pensioner. The similarity of Christian names also makes with other evidence
a certain fact as to orgin of the family.
The census returns of 1790 in South Carolina give the names of Joseph,
William, James, James, Sr., Isaac and Martin Cloud, and in North Carolina,
William, Isaac, Joseph, Daniel and Samuel Cloud. We are thus enabled to
trace the family from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and to North and South
Carolina.
The Cloud Family of South Carolina
The tradition is that the Clouds of South Carolina went from Pennsylvania
to Virginia and thence to South Carolina, and the tradition is fully borne
out as we find the name in Pennsylvania, thence the same family in
Frederick County, Virginia, and find the Clouds in North Carolina, where
they were reputed to be large landowners, and then we find the family of
Cloud in Camden District, South Carolina, bearing the names of William and
Joseph, thus fully tallying with the tradition and in point to time fully
corroborating the assertion, making it thus certain that the Cloud family
of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina are one and the same family.
William Cloud went from Calne, Wiltshire, England, to Pennsylvania, and on
September 8th and 9th, 1681, was granted 500 acres of land by William Penn.
On October 7, 1682, he purchased land which was afterward laid out in
Concord township. He died in 1702. He mentions in his will the following
children, William, Jeremiah, Joseph, John and Robert Cloud. Without going
into the entire genealogy of the family, which can be found in the Potts
Genealogy in the Library of Congress, we find that one of these sons,
Jeremiah Cloud, died at Naamans Creek, leaving the following children by
Elizabeth Bailey: Jeremiah, William, Mordecai, John and Daniel. William
Cloud, on of the sons, left a will dated May 12, 1749. He leaves 400 acres
to his son Henry, 400 acres to Jeremiah, and the balance to Daniel Cloud,
these lands being in Frederick County, Virginia. He mentions further, his
wife Elizabeth; sons William, Joseph, Mordecai, daughters Margaret and
Elizabeth Booth. Daniel Cloud was a soldier in Virginia Colonial Troops. In
a communication from the Clerk of the Court of Frederick County, Va., dated
May 14, 1910, in which he says: "That the will of Mordecai Cloud was
admitted to probate in 1789, that he does not find the wills of either
Joseph or William Cloud, that there are a number of grants to the from the
Clouds of record in this office, the earliest being admitted to record in
1749. Until recently there was a family of Clouds in this County who have
moved away". We thus definitely trace them to Virginia as early as 1749,
and finding no record of either William or Joseph Cloud, the brothers of
Jeremiah, Henry, Mordecai and Daniel, we are forced to the conclusion that
they moved away, and thus the tradition is borne out as to their having
gone to South Carolina and that the family of Cloud were all of the same
stock, for we find that William Cloud, of Virgnia, married Alice Hardin,
and that her son, Joseph Cloud, of Camden, later Kershaw and Fairfield
Districts, was born in South Carolina in 1770, married Martha Nettles,
daughter of Zacharia Nettles of South Carolina and Nancy Schofield of North
Carolina (perhaps daughter of Joseph Schofield found in census returns of
North Carolina, but not in South Carolina).
(Note--The census returns of 1790 shows Clouds in North and South Carolina.
WE find among the Virginia Militia, March 18, 1834, Patrick County,
Virginia, a William Cloud private and lietenant in the War of Revolution
who, though applying as a Virginia soldier, may have been the William Cloud
of South Carolina. Also in a list of those who received grants numerous
Hardings or Hardins inVirginia at an early period. Zachariah Nettles was
one of a jury in South Carolina, who patriotic utterances classed them as a
band of patriots. Abraham Nettles of Fluvanna County was a Revolutionary
soldier of Virginia. There was an ancient English family who went to
Ireland about 1660. William Nettles of Nettletown was head of this branch.
(See Burke’s Landed Gentry).
The census returns of South Carolina of 1790, for Fairfield County, Camden
District, given as head of a family Zacharia Nettles, and also William and
Joseph Cloud.
In a will dated September 10, 1806, by William Nettles, in County of
Kershaw, town of Camden, South Carolina, he mentions his wife, Margery, his
sons, Zachariah and Benjamin, daughters Nancy, Patty and Dorkis, brother,
Zachariah. William Nettles was a planter and we find in "Historic Camden"
by T.J. Kirland, that he was a captain in the Rolutionary War, that he
married several times, and that he was born in Alexandria County, Va., in
1734, and was of Scotch descent.

Clouds of N.C. and Tennessee
According to the history written by Alexander Moore Cloud, the Clouds of
N.C. and Tennessee were descended as follows:
William Cloud of Calne, Wiltshire, England
Jeremiah Cloud, m. Elizabeth Bailey. Their eldest son
Jeremiah Cloud, Jr., m. Annie Bailey about 1710 and had
seven children. He died 1748. Their son
William Cloud, m. Mary Pierce in 1739 and had eight
Children. His youngest son
Jesse, m. Mary Allen in 1769 and had four children
In Book No. 1 Surveyors Book No. 1177801877, page 191, November 16, 1780
Jesse Cloud by transfer of 380 acres south side of Smith’s River beginning
at Haley’s corner to Chadwell’s corner. (Transferred from Cloud to David
Haley and from him to Henry Sumpter and from him to David Chadwell.)
Jesse’s son, Joseph Cloud, married Nancy Moore, a lineal descendant of Sir
John Moore. Joseph first settled in Stokes County N.C. where he lived for
several years, but in the latter part of the eighteenth century came to
Tennessee and entered a large boundary of land around Bean Station.
Rogersville County, E. Tenn. Was laid off in 1787 and Joseph Cloud was one
of the commissioners, June 15, 1787, Hawkins County, Tenn.
(In King’s Mountain Papers, p. 673, etc. - see Benjamin Franklin Cloud
history)
Benjamin Franklin Cloud
Benjamin Franklin Cloud, Sr. (Joseph, Jesse, William, Jeremiah, Jr.,
Jeremiah, Sr., William), was born in North Carolina circa 1775, and died at
Chadwell Station, Va. (now Ewing, Va.) on February 14, 1845. On 12-29-1801,
he married Mary Chadwell Middleton, daughter of David Chadwell, Sr. Mary
was the widow of Walter Middleton and had one son, Walter Middleton, Jr.
She was born 8-30-1777 in Henry County, Va. And died 10-2-1855 in Lee
County and is buried there in the Chadwell Cemetery. She was known as
"Polly" Chadwell, and a copy of sale of her estate is elsewhere in this
book.
Benjamin Franklin Cloud, Sr. settled in Hawkins County, Tennessee and
bought a farm in Mulberry Valley, where he was a voter on March 6, 1790.
Mention of the location of a plot of land, 150 acres was sold to Benjamin
Cloud of Lee County, Virginia by two sisters, Sally and Polly, whose maiden
name was Turner. Sally’s husband was Walter Middleton of Knox County,
Kentucky and Polly’s husband was Balis Shumate of Lee County, Virginia. The
location of this land was, "lying on Indian Creek on the north side of the
main road joining the lands of James Brittain, William Chadwell and Moses
Ball". This deed was made to Benjamin Cloud, July 1, 1817 in Lee County, Va.
Benjamin became the second County Clerk of Claiborne County, Tenn., and was
a citizen there for 28 years. He lieve on the corner just opposite the
entrance to the Baptist Church. He was County Clerk from 1816 to 1836--note
that Claiborne County was set off from Hawkins County Tenn. In 1844 he
moved to Chadwell Station, Lee County, Virginia and took oer his wife’s
estate which he managed until his death. He had come to Tazewell in 1816.

infancy.
The following was ten from an article which appeared in a Lawton, Okla.
Newspaper in June, 1970:
GENERAL MADDUX PLANS SEPTEMBER 1 RETIREMENT
Lt. Gen. Sam Maddux, Jr., a native of Lawton and commander of the Air
Forece’s Air Training Command with headquarters at Randolph AFB, Tex. For
the past four years, has announced he is retiring on Sept. 1 after 34 years
of active duty.
Born in Lawton on April 7, 1915, Gen. Maddux is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Maddux, 1113 Taft. He was graduated in 1936 from the University of Okla.
General Maddux has served at the ATC Commander since July 1966, directing
the selection and training of young men and women for the Air
Force…..Before taking command of ATC, Gen. Maddux served in key positions
in the Pacific area for six years. During 1965-66, he was Fice Commander in
Chief of Staff, Pacific. He was the senior member of the United Nations
Command, Military Armistice Commission in Korea during 1959-60. The Pacific
was not new to him during those six years. He participated in the first
long rane overwater flight of land based bombers from California to Hawaii
in May, 1941. A veteran of Bataan, he served as a B17 pilot and squadron
commander in the Pacific in 1942. From 1946-48, he was Chief of Personnel,
Far East Air Forces in Japan….

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CLOUD, JR. (Benjamin Franklin, Sr., Joseph, Jesse,
William, Jeremiah, Jr., Jeremiah, Sr., William) b. 11-8-1802, eldest son of
Benjamin F. and Mary Chadwell Cloud, served two terms as Circuit Court
Clerk, but in 1844 was advised to retire to private life because of
pulmonary tuberculosis. He chose Cedar Hill as a dwelling place, erected a
home and moved into it in 1845. By practicing a series of deep breathing
exercises and eating nourishing food, he cured himself and doubled his
weight in two yars. In the latter part of 1845, he married Mahulda Schultz.
He was too old to take part in the Civil War but sympathized with the South
because he was a slaveholder. Notwithstanding that fact, he was broadminded
enough to help both the Federals and the Confederates escape danger. In
1865, he was called upon to represent the County. He died in Tazewell in
1881.

The following is from "Old Time Tazewell" by Alexander Moore Cloud
"I do not know definitely when the first school was taught in Tazewell, but
I suppose it was not earlier than 1822. My father (Benjamin Franklin Cloud)
attended a school at Yaokum’s Station in Powell’s Valley in 1820-21. His
teacher was Michael Miles, an Irishman. Prof. Miles, who had been teaching
school for more than fifty years, had come to America in 1773 for the
purpose of instructing the children of a wealthy planter in Virginia. He
moved from Virginia to Witauga and taught there a number of years, but was
later persuaded by his friends to migrate with them to Claiborne County,
Tennessee. When my father entered school at Yoakum’s Station he wore long
hair which he said his teacher seemed to take pleasure in pulling. He told
the man with whom he was boarding about the unpleasant affair and was
advised to have his hair cut. He followed this advice the same evening
after dinner. The next morning when he went to school the old Professor
came to his seat and smilingly patted him on the head, saying, "Now, me
boy, you have removed a great burden from off your brain and will be able
to work your sums better". The next school my father attended was at
Tazewell in 1822. This was taught by Walter Evans, Sr. I do not have any of
the books my father studied except an arithmetic that he and Michael Miles
made in 1820. The problems in that book are very interesting. For instance
one reads as follows: "A man had three slaves, Stephen, Fillis and Andy. He
sold Stephen for $1,575, Fillis for $980, and Any for $815. How much money
did he get for the three, and what was the average price of each slave?".
Another reads: "If a man has $2.17 how much whiskey can he buy at twenty
five cents per gallon?".
ALEXANDER MOORE CLOUD (B.F, Jr., B.F., Sr., Joseph, Jesse, William,
Jeremiah, Jr. Jeremiah, Sr., William), b. 1-1847, m. Mary Ann Johnson,
sister to the wife of his double cousin, Benjamin F. Schultz, who married
Eliza Johnson Alexander Moore Cloud attended Tazewell College, and served
in the Confederate Pension Applications. He wrote a book on Tazewell and
it’s earliest settlers, published about 1925 including a sketch of his
branch of the family found in the first part of this section. He was an
avid historian and wrote a series of articles called "Old Tazewell" for the
Claiborne Progress. This has proven to be a source of valuable knowledge to
genealogists and a great contribution to East Tennessee history.

LETTER FROM BENJAMIN F. CLOUD TO WILLIAM BALL
Tazewell, Tenn.
August 7, 1853
Dear Sir:
I am informed by Doct. James Fulkerson that we are about to be disturbed in
the possession of our Virginia lands. I have advised with the legal men of
my state that the course they are pursuing is illegal. The proper one for
them to pursue to bring suit against some one of your citizens to see who
has the best legal title. If they do not pursue that course it proves,
beyond doubt that their title is a defective one. We must repulse them by
force, and keep them off by force. It is time that the thing was set about.
They should not (edge of paper missing) ___________let no possession be
taken on the grant they have. The law will set them out in a month.
Now sir, away yourselves, and _________let no possession be taken. You must
enlist 200 men to drive them out. The Crabtrees said they would go and see
the Chadwells and everybody and reason the facts of the case and tell them
the evil consequences of ___________ and that our land might be taken. Do
not submit to this course of proceedings. This is the safe plan, and the
time to commence is early--Go and See the people and get them up in the
notion that it is an imposition against the County. I will be over as soon
as I can. Commence the operation soon. Doctor Fulkerson will be over soon.
I am with you in any way to obtain the consent of the people. Speak to
Wash. Cloud.
I am your friend,
Signed B.F. Cloud

It looks like the oldest Benjamin's family stayed in N.J.???...Notice the
different spelling of the name...could be a different branch of the Cloud
family??? Also there was a Cm before one name...must have been a
mistake...most likely it should be Mc.

Becky,
According to my records, Margaret was the d/o Nathaniel CLOUD and Rebecca McCULLUM:

It's not my line or my research so I can't vouch for its accuracy.

Mark and Becky,
If you would post this to the bulletin board, people could see your posts by the thread name rather than having to browse through the list archives. All posts to the bulletin board are echoed (gatewayed) to this email forum/list, but the bulletin board seems to me to be easier to navigate when doing research.
WRT the father of Joseph CLOUD b. 1710 who married Nancy (probably MOORE). Ray SHIRLEY may be the foremost authority on this line and I know that he cannot determine who Joseph's parents were.
You can see some of Ray's notes about that here:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/TX/getperson.php?personID=I68803&tree=mykindred01
... his guess was that Joseph's parents were Joseph CLOUD and Ruth JERVIS.
There are a number of participants from the line of Joseph in our DNA Project:
pedigree chart:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/results/pedchart.php
results:
http://mykindred.com/cloud/dna/results/cdnareport.php
Clicking on the "Modal" in the results for the line of Joseph indicates his line is related to that of kit numbers 114782 (37/37-marker match and/or 197121 (34/37 markers with the mismatches being at faster-moving markers). Kit 197121 traces back to Jeremiah CLOUD & Ann BAILEY > Jeremiah CLOUD & Elizabeth BAILEY and the more likely match is kit 114782 which traces back to Joseph CLOUD & Cecily CHAMBERLAIN > Robt CLOUD & Phoebe NEALE. (When looking at this, bear in mind that a submitted pedigree could be incorrect and that we are missing DNA evidence from three of William CLOUDE's five sons who lived to adulthood, so we might find a better match to one of those lines).
* (Note to the DNA participants from the line of Joseph -- we need at least one or more to extend their test to 111 markers.)
Bottom line is -- if you have proof or significant evidence of the parentage of Joseph CLOUD b. 1710 PA who married Nancy (poss. MOORE), there are a number of researchers who would be very interested in learning about it.
thanks,
Tom Cloud

Message Board Post:
I am trying to track down information on my great grandmother, Stella (Elsie) Cloud. She was Born in January 1869 in Missouri. She was first married in 1888 at the age of 19 in Missouri. I do not know the name of her first spouse. They had one daughter, Allie M. born in Missouri in 1889. Her marriage to my great grandfather, Levi Barden Boon took place on October 8, 1897 when she was 28 years old in Jackson, Arkansas. The 1900 U.S. Census shows that at the age of 31 she lived in Black River, Independence, Arkansas. She gave birth to my grandfather, Floyd Barden Boon on July 18, 1898 in Independence, Arkansas. She died in 1908 in Arkansas at the age of 39. I believe that she may be a descendent of Jeremiah Cloud 1658-1716 and Elizabeth Bailey 1667-1750. I would like to discover who her parents were. Any information would be greatly appreciated. My email is lboone393(a)comcast.net.
Thank You,
