I by accident deleted text messages from one specific person and want to retrieve. I think they are backed up on my iCloud. When I go into iCloud messages are turned on. How do I retrieve?

If iCloud for Messages is turned on then they are not backed up and you cannot retrieve them. iCloud for Messages is designed to sync, not save, so if deleted they are deleted everywhere permanently.
