Mary Munroe is my first cousin four generations removed. Her father, Isaac Munroe (1785 - 1822) was the brother to my 3rd great grandfather, Luther Simonds Munroe (1805 - 1851). Mary was born 30 November 1808 in Danvers, Massachusetts and died 4 February 1888 in Peabody. She married Jonathan C. Clough on 5 June 1836 in Danvers.
Jonathan C. Clough was the son of Stephen Clough and Betsey Carr. He was born 16 December 1810 in Weare, New Hampshire and died 2 March 1877 in Peabody. He was listed as a tanner in the 1850 census and as working in a morocco factory in the 1870 census. Peabody was known as the "Leather City", and morocco is a fine leather used in book binding.

The Clough surname got me to thinking. When I was a child, my mother used to take my brother and I to Clough State Park in Dunbarton/Weare to go swimming. I was wondering if it was your ancestral Clough property, for lack of a better word, used to create the Clough State Park/Everett Lake for the Everett Dam. Just a thought, that I find fascinating.
ReplyDeleteFunny that you should mention that! We just moved to Manchester, New Hampshire near Dunbarton Road, and last week I drove past the Clough State Park twice! I haven't traced Jonathan Clough's ancestry back yet, since he was an "in-law", but he might have had a common ancestor to the person the park honors.
