Hi, I'm searching for information about William McCloud. He came to California about 1856 from Wisconsin and settled in Stockton. He was born in 1813 in Ohio. His sister was Maria McCloud Hanchett who also settled in Stockton. In a book that included a little bit about my McCloud side, there was a refrence about William: "He died on November 15, 1867 at the residence of Ferrer Powell, Mariposa Road, Stockton, California, from inflamation of the lungs." My question is, if this person found this newspaper once (in about 1985) how can I find it now? (I can't ask the person who wrote the book-she died recently) And are these families familiar to anyone? I'm trying to find out where he was buried and any additional info about him. Thanks, Marianne

I can get a copy of the obit for you. Stockton main library (Chavez) has old Stockton papers from that far back. Allow about two weeks.
