2. Noah Cloud, born April 28, 1800 (the author's great great great grandfather).

Origins

After the Revolutionary War, John Cloud and his two younger brothers are said to have left Georgia where their father lived. "When they got to the line of Tennessee they separated. William and Noah went to North Carolina while John went to South Carolina where he entered 400 acres of land on Brier Creek, what is known as Cherokee Pond, South Carolina. He married Elizabeth (Betsy) Lacey, a Cherokee Indian, by the Cumberland River in Kentucky."(2) Their first child, William, was born about 1798, followed by a second son, Noah, born April 28, 1800. Another son, Ruben was born in 1804; a daughter Minerva, in 1806; followed by sons, Frank, Lee, and Jeremiah, and another daughter, Annie, on February 7, 1824. The oldest of the children were born in Livingston County, Kentucky. The family apparently left Kentucky around 1815 and moved, in time, to Louisiana.
