He was treasurer of the school credit union at one time. I am looking for any information on my Great Grandfather's parents. He was born in Urbana, IL on July 5, 1847. His name was Salathiel McCloud and his mother's name was Sarah Hill. I don't know his father's name and am greatly interested in finding this out.
Any help is appreciated.
They were married in Champaign county Illinois 19 August 1837. I understand that Joseph had 17 children the last 5 by his second wife, Elizabeth. 1844 and Emeline, b. about 1848. Elizabeth died 24 December 1882 and was buried in the Patterson Cemetery in St. Joseph Township, Champaign county. Upon Matthew's death, Elizabeth raised her three children until she remarried Joseph Stayton.
