  Died	circa 1895
  Notes	Cheslee Inselmann wrote July 9, 2002 "He was called Jerry by the family and he died relatively young, two of the family said that they suspected that he was poisoned by one of Sarah's family. No reasons were given, just family rumor. My aunt (in law) said that she remembers Jeremiah as being quiet and not talking about his family much, but that he said his mothers name was Elizabeth, his fathers name was Jeremiah (another one) and that he said he had eight or nine brothers and sisters, and that his grandfather was HGW". Others believe he is the son of John Clark Cloud, brother to H.G.W. Cloud and son of Jeremiah Cloud born 1784 in Twiggs county, GA.
