I have new information about the family of Ellen Cloud of Marshall County, KY. There is conclusive evidence that she is the Ellen Cloud who was listed as wife of James A. Cloud with son Jackson (age 1) found on the Livingston Co, KY census. James A. Cloud was the son of Benjamin W. Cloud and Lucinda Fox.

According to the death certificate of Ellen and James's daughter, Anne Cloud Beard, Ellen's maiden name was Stevens and she was 'from Nashville, TN.'

I have found a female, age 8, named Ellen Stephens, listed on the 1850 census of Livingston Co, KY with what appear to be several siblings, ages 15 to 1, in the household of Augustus Davis (40) and his wife Mary (40) and another female age 18. I'm now wondering if perhaps Augustus was previously married and had an 18-year-old daughter; Mary was previously married and was the mother of the several Stephens children; and Augustus and Mary were recently married (note youngest Stephens child was only 1-year-old).

Can anyone help?
