Who does this James greenwell belong to?

Ok then could John Clarke have married Eleanor Gough daughter of Peter Gough
and Eleanor ((Bould/Bowles), since you have Peter Gough's wife remarried to
Peter Howard.

I don't know age of Peter Gough's daughter Eleanor Gough to know if she
would have been to old. but if Peter Gough died 1768 then If he had a
daughter eleanor Gough, could she have been born about 1725 or thereabouts?

I guess I should ask, did Peter Gough and Eleanor (Bould/Bowles), have a
daughter Eleanor Gough? Do we know who she married?

Also I do not know children of Peter Gough's brother's to know if they had a
daughter who could possible be wife of John clarke.
