Jeremiah's will is on record at New Castle, Del. (His land was among that in dispute between Penn. and Del.

Abigail (Mordecia,s wife KC) had been married before also. Her maiden name was JOHNS. Jan Clouds (CFJ) records indicate name to be JOHNSON and not Baily, however the Johns could just be a shortened Johnson. KC

Mordecia Cloud was a brother of Jeremiah Cloud, who married Ann Baily, and by his first wife, Sarah Chads, sister of John Chads, of Chads' Ford, had several children. He was Abigail's third husband and it appears she had three children by each. Mordecia Cloud died in August 1745 and by will devised to his wife a plantation of 200 acres on the east side of the road from Trimble's mill to Marlborough Street, during life, after which it was to become her son Abner's: also a plantation of 350 acres on the west side of the same road until son Mordecia became of age...Abigail Cloud's will is dated 12 May 1757, and proved 15 Jan 1759, in which she mentions her children....(from 1st, 2nd marriages)...and Abner, Joseph and Abigail Cloud.
