Parents: William Allen Cloud (6/23/1776-11/2/1851) m. 1808 second wife Hannah Wickersham (10/23/1779-4/19/1865)
4th Great Grandfather: William CLOUD (1621 in Calne, Wiltshire, England - 1702, Concord, Chester County(now Delaware County)PA), of Calne, in Wiltshire, was the founder of the Pennsylvania family. He was a member of the Friends' meeting at Calne, and while attending a meeting there May 16, 1660 , the meeting "was broken up by a party of soldiers, who came with swords drawn and pistols cockt and violently haled out those that were met, and when asked for their warrant showed their swords, saying: 'This is our warrant." On December 7, 1680, he attended a meeting at Marlborough England, but in 1682 seems to have fallen under the censure of the Friends. William Cloud's purchase of land from William Penn is recorded on October 7, 1682. William Penn granted to William CLOUD five hundred acres of land laid out in Pennsylvania. It is probable he came to America, @ age of 61, either in the latter part of 1682 or early in 1683, possibly on the "Unicorn". This land was surveyed and laid out to the southward of Naemans creek, but was afterward discovered to be in New Castle county, Delaware. He does not appear to have lived on this land, his home being in Concord township, Chester county, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Chichester meeting, was a contributor to the fund toward the erection of a meeting house and the cost of a graveyard about 1685. His will, proved August 25, 1702 , is recorded in Will Book B, page 244, in the register's office at Philadelphia. He does not mention a wife, she having probably preceded him to the grave. Children: William, Jeremiah, Joseph, John, Robert and Susannah.
Siblings of Jesse: Elizabeth (1809-1860); James (1812-1902, m. Lydia Goode and Ester Jane Kent); Mary (1814-1879, m. William Chambers); Rachel (1816-1887); Pusey (1818-1867 m. Hannah Gatchell and lived on Cloud homestead Lenape-Unionville Oakdale Farm, attended Marlborough Meeting, were Quaker Abolitionists and helped establish Longwood Progressive Meeting); Enoch Wickersham Cloud (1821-1903, m. Anna Mary Hoopes); and Hannah (1822-1896)
