This is an important issue for genealogists. go to the house of rep (federal) website for info on HR 3261 and get people to flood your senators and reps that you are opposed to this proposed legislation. >From my understanding it will give corporations the power to copyright FACTS in their databases. As you know FACTS are public information and only intelectual material should be copywritten. The result would be that if you submit info to a Corp. and they put it in their database they then own the copyright -- you will have to pay or get permission from them to use your own information.

==================================================
RESOLUTION ON COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION
Whereas searching for our roots has become a leading national activity; and
Whereas access to on-line databases containing genealogical data has facilitated the search for ancestors; and
Whereas HR 3261, the "Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act," threatens to obstruct access to and sharing of such data by extending copyright protection to facts; and
Whereas the Michigan Genealogical Council believes that facts are not intellectual property and therefore should not be copyrighted; and
Whereas the House Energy and Commerce Committee alternate legislation
(HR 3872) deals with abuse of commercial, non-creative databases without extending copyright protection to facts; now therefore be it
Resolved by the delegate body of the Michigan Genealogical Council that Congress be advised that we oppose enactment of HR 3261; and be it further
Resolved that if Congress determines that additional legislation is required, that we respectfully request that they enact less restrictive provisions such as those proposed in HR 3872; and be it finally
Resolved that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to all members representing Michigan in the 108th Congress.

I am also looking for a William Clouse born in KY in approx. 1805-06. Please e-mail me and let's compare notes! I believe he may have been my gggguncle. Thanks!
Meg -
Nothing like stealing someone's thunder! I was in the midst of double
checking the dates when this message arrived. What I have for Thomas is
that he was born in Washington Co., Virginia in 1710. I have not seen
anything other than other researchers information on this fact. I have
noticed that MANY are stating his birthplace as White County. I am not
sure when the first Clouse moved into White County, but I know many are
recorded as being born in Washington and Unicoi Counties in Tennessee prior
to the White County migration.
Washington Co., TN is on the NC border and was formed from Washington Co.,
NC when Tennessee was made a state. With Clouse connections to both
Washington Co., Tennessee and Washington Co., Virginia it is easy for
errors to be made in switchinig the states when recording information.
As for George Washington Clouse having a brother, Christopher, it is
possible, but again, I have seen nothing firm on there being any siblings.
One thing is sure - the Clouses left few footprints as they passed through
Virginia! In the Virginia land records there are only three grants that
mention a CLAUSE and one for CLOUSE. There are no records for CLOSE,
CLASE, KLOSE, KLASE, or KLUSE.
The earliest land record is for Phettiplace Clause:
GRANTEE Clause, Phettiplace.
DATE 2 December 1628.
Description: 100 acres on the Easterly side of Warwicksqueake River,
northerly on the land of Rice Jones. [a squeake is a swamp. River now the
Warwick River.]
GRANTEE Clause, Henry. grantee. [DOES ANYONE KNOW OF HIM?]
DATE 24 July 1788.
NOTE Location: Monongalia County.
NOTE Description: 1400 acres adjoining Ramsey and Cox's Ninth and Doctr
Says Second Entries.
GRANTEE Awell, Christopher.
DATE 12 September 1733.
Note Location: Spotsylvania County.
Description: 124 acres in the great fork of the Rappahannock river. Adjoins
land of Michael Awell, his own and Michael Clause. [HOW ABOUT MICHAEL?
ANYONE?]
GRANTEE Clouse, Samuel.
DATE 1 December 1852.
NOTE Location: Ritchie County.
NOTE Description: 16 1/2 acres on waters of north fork of Hughes River.
While not close enough for a cigar, there is this:
GRANTEE Klyce, Christopher.
DATE 14 July 1801.
NOTE Location: Rockbridge County.
This is how someone has him in WorldConnect -
Name: Christopher "Christian" (Clyce) KLEITZ
Sex: M
Birth: 3 JAN 1751/52 in Rostock, Germany
Death: 5 FEB 1829 in Rockbridge, Virginia
There are hundreds of land records from several of my other lines and it is
disheartening to find so few Clouses.

Hi Gus-
Thomas Clouse could not have been born in White County TN in 1710,
because it did not exist until 1806. Here's a link to the White County
website:
http://www.tngenweb.org/white/
My husband's Clouse line was in TN pretty early, with George Clouse
born abt 1740 (location unknown, but possibly VA) who died at Greasy
Cove, Washington County TN in 1810. I don't know who George's fatner
was-this is the line that some people have said goes back to a
Phettiplace Clouse, but I have not seen proof of this. His son John
Dillard Clouse born abt 1775 (location unknown) died 20 Nov 1859 in
Cedar Creek, White County TN. John had a son Thomas Jefferson Clouse
born 08 Jan 1801 in Washington County Tn who died 18 July 1872 in White
County. Is this possibly the Thomas Clouse you are seeking? If so, he
had a BUNCH of children, by at least 2 different wives.
Good luck!

I have his children as Christopher Clouse and George Clouse. I have
Christopher born 1776 and George about 1740. That is allot of years
between children, so I wonder if this is correct. Christopher is listed as
being born in Pennsylvania and married Anna Catherine Hench. George is
listed as being born in Virginia and marrying Elizabeth Jarvis. Thomas is
from the line of Phettiplace Clouse. Thomas would have been my
ggggggrandfather. Thanks. Daniel (Gus) Clouse
