Does anyone know the history of the CLOYD surname?
Could it be a variant of the CLOOD, CLOWDE, CLOUDE (and perhaps CLOUDSLEY) surnames found in England circa 1200-1400 and later?
Without documentary evidence of a relationship between the surnames, DNA can indicate whether there is one or not.
Is there a CLOYD DNA Project? I would very much like to see the DNA haplotype for a CLOYD DNA Project -- it would indicate whether the surnames were related at one point back in time.
I am administrator for the Cloud DNA Project. If there is no CLOYD project, I encourage any CLOYD (or variant) male to join the CLOUD project (you can always join another project later if so desired):

There is also a CLOUDE/CLOUD (and perhaps CLOYD) One Name Study underway whose goal is to collect information on all instances of the surname(s) worldwide:
