Susan,
I'll try and help you with what I have in my files, but unfortunately if the information was available about the names of the children of Hannah Palmer Wickersham, I did not record it from my sources.I did most of my Quaker family research at the library at Earlham College by searching the Quaker family genealogies and the reports from the various Friends' meetings.I could not find my orginial notes, but I think there is a Wickersham family genealogy.
Here is what I have:
Hannah Wickersham, born 23 Oct 1779, probably Newlin twp in Pa. [Chester Co., I think] She was the daughter of William Wickersham and his wife Elizabeth Pusey (b.11 Oct 1743). Elizabeth was the dau. of William Pusey (2nd) & Mary Passmore.Wm.Pusey was the son of William Pusey (1st) & Elizabeth Bowater.William was probably the nephew of the first Pusey (Caleb) who came to Penn. with William Penn.Mary Passmore was the dau. of John Passmore & Mary.
Hannah Wickersham married William Cloud.He was born about 1776 and died 2 Nov. 1851 in Marlborough twp. Pa.William Cloud was the son of Jessee Cloud and Mary Allen.The marriage date I have for Hannah & William Cloud has to be in error so I won't even repeat it.I don't have the children of Hannah Wickersham & William Cloud.
I did find several other marriages between Wickershams and Puseys about the same time, so maybe yours belong to a different family since the birth date I have for Hannah as 1779 does not agree with yours of 1774.
I don't know if this information helps clear up your mystery.I live in Indiana, so if there are some records I could search for your Margaret Ann Cloud and Alexander White in Dearborn Co., I'll try our local library.
Good Luck,
Linda
