Well, George, maybe it isn't YOUR John Clough of Salisbury, Mass., but
it very well COULD be OUR John Clough of Kentucky. He was granted
land by the government right after being wounded in the Revolutionary
War and settled in Oddville, Kentucky. And all of the Cloughs in
Harrison and Bourbon Counties (and several other places) are possible
descendants of THIS John Clough. Tell me more about this book
offer. The over 100 descendants here would be most interested.
