Hello, Clough Family -
My husband is a descendant of one Joseph Clough ("b. abt. 1748" in New
Hampshire) second husband of Abigail Buswell Silver, herself a daughter of
Elizabeth Clough and James Buswell. Linda Freehling
kindly suggested that our Joseph may be one of the eight children of John
Clough (b. 5 July 1708, Salisbury, Essex, Ma.) and Tabitha Welch (b. 10 Mar.
1709, Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire), daughter of Samuel Welch and
Mary Judkins. This is a good possibility, since Tabitha's sister Mary
married Elisha Clough (they were Abigail Buswell's grandparents)and Tabitha
and Mary's brother Samuel Welch married John and Elisha's sister Eleanor
Clough. Tabitha died
"before Oct. 1750" which may account for Joseph ("b. abt. 1748") apparently
not knowing exactly when he was born. From what I've been able to gather,
John and Tabitha's eight children were: Lydia (1734-1735), John, Lydia,
Hannah, Amos, Nathan, Joseph and Benjamin (b. 29 May 1750). Joseph may have
been born in Brentwood, New Hampshire.
I've found very little information regarding John and Tabitha
and their children online, so I was wondering if there are any descendants
of this line out there? In addition to finding a niche for Joseph, I'm
curious about this family group. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrea Edwards
