 General Notes:
Friend Joseph Cloud was born in Chester Co., Pa., on March 1, 1743. His parents were Mordecai Cloud and Abigail Johnson Cloud. He and his second wife, Hannah, were two of the first Friends at Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in North Carolina to be recorded as ministers. According to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting Minutes, Joseph Cloud made many "traveling minister" trips between 1779 and 1804 to Tyson's' Settlement, to "Friends on the Western Waters", to eastern Pennsylvania and to Europe in 1804. In 1799 he visited Pee Dee Monthly Meeting during the time of great decline in the number of Friends in North Carolina as Friends moved into the Northwest Territory. The meeting was set down shortly after his visit. (See, Cane Creek: Mother of Meetings by Bobbie T. Teague [Greensboro, N.C.: North Caroline Yearly Meeting of Friends, 1995], pp. 26, 41 and 94).
Joseph married Hannah Beals, daughter of John Beals III and Margaret Esther Hunt, on 22 Apr 1790 in Center, Frederick, Virginia. (Hannah Beals was born about 1745 in Frederick, Frederick, Maryland, USA and died on 4 Feb 1804 in Center Frederick, Virginia.)
