From Lyle G. Cloud doc dated 4 Feb 2004: Info may supercede that from notes above.

!1. All of the following notes are by Lyle G Cloud. [Notes are consistant with the conclusions in my document: "A Revisit of My Cloud Ancestors" dated 4 Feb 2004]. [Note Updates by Lyle G Cloud: 7120 South Chase Court; Littleton, CO 80128-4915. 9 Feb 2004].

!2. I believe that the father and mother of Nathaniel Cloud (10 Feb 1791 - 16 July 1878) were Thomas Cloud [(1750-1760)- (1830-1840)] and Margaret Carson ( 20 Jun 1766 - 3 Sept 1854).

!3. The 1880 Census for Samuel, Allen and James R. all show their parents birthplaces as PA. The F E Babcock diary summary also shows PA as birthplace for both.

!4. The 1856 and 1860 census for Monroe Township in Johnson County, Iowa show PA as birthplace.

!5. The following 1857 letter coupled with my notes for Nancy Cloud provides powerful evidence that my great-great grandfather Nathaniel Cloud (10 feb 1791-16 July 1878) was a son of Thomas Cloud and Margaret Carson. I will now address this powerful letter addressed to my great-great grandparents, Nathaniel Cloud (10 Feb 1791-16 July 1878) and Rebecca McCullum (25 Jan 1796-10 Nov 1862). This letter is included as reference because of the significance of this letter in my ancestry review. I (Lyle G. Cloud) received a copy of this hand written letter on 18 April 2003 in the data package from Ardis Crull. I have a scanned copy as well as the copy from Ardis. I have retyped the letter in word as best that I can reconstruct it. I have used the original spelling of all words in the cited letter. I believe it to be representative of the handwritten copy.

Mammie Bailey has original of this letter.
