Surnames: McCloud,Mahan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lEC.2ACE/434 Message Board Post: John McCloud born about 1853 in Wisconsin. He married Mary Mahan in 1873 in Grant County. I am looking for any information I can get no matter how small. His mother's first name started with an "M". In 1880 it "appears" they were in Orient Township,Adair County,IA. John and Mary had 3 children in 1880...James Oscar,John,and a third child with the first initial "B." I know in 1920 John and his son James are both in Oklahoma. It appears that there was a divorce or agreed to separation between John and Mary. It is my understanding that John raised James and Mary raised John aka Johnny. It is not known what happened to "B." I need help filling in the gaps.
