Alexander McCloud, Putnam County, MO d.1869

Just started this line, so cannot be of much help. My husbands Maternal line.
GGGgrandfather.
William McCloud married Catharine.
dau. Terissa (Tressy) Ann McCloud born Sept. 1858 married ca. 1879 George W. Dewey.
dau. Alta Cecilia Dewey born Jan. 1887 married Robert John Schnase in Gove Co., KS 1903.
I too wondered if Alex was William Mcclouds father as they are living next door to each other on 1860 Putnam Co., MO census. Searching the 1850 Indiana and TN census's I have yet been able to find an Alex or Alexander. Could I ask where did you find he and his wife's death dates?
One thing I have found out from living descendants of Deweys is that George and Terissa (McCloud) Dewey lived right on the line of Putnam Co., MO and IA. That the house was on the line and so one son born in one bedroom was born in IA and another son born in a different bedroom was born in MO. This was considered quite a joke in the family so has been passed down.
Maybe we can help each other on this after the hollidays.
Merry Christmas,
