George C.H. Kernion wrote "The son of William Cloud and Elizabeth Hayes resided in Waren county, Georgia during the Revolutionary War. While it is not shown that he actually fought in the Revolution, the fact is established that he resided in Georgia during the Revolution and had his home destroyed by the enemy. (See Pension Claim of his son, John Cloud, 2-30935 Veterans' Administration Bureau, Washington, D.C.)."
