CLOUTMAN, CLOUGHTMAN, CLOUDMAN
Thomas Cloutman, my 8th great grandfather, is a
mystery. He is listed in The History of
Salem, as a fisherman, and in Newfoundland with Nicholas Chatwell in 1681. Some accounts say he was from Scotland, but I
cannot find any proof. I don't know his parents, place of birth, birth date or death date. He married Elizabeth Story on 26 July 1672 in Salem and
had six children listed in the vital records.
I descend from his youngest son, Joseph Cloutman (1693 – 1743). The eldest son, Edward (1673 – 1717), settled
in New Hampshire, and middle son Thomas (b. 1682) removed to Marblehead.
Joseph Cloutman, my 7th great grandfather, died
intestate, and his probate record was file on 28 March 1743. I cannot find a death record for him. His wife was Mary Peters, the daughter of
Richard and Bethiah Peters of Salem.
My 6th great grandfather, Joseph Cloutman, was
born abut 1720 and married Mary Webb in 1747.
They had four children. They
lived on Webb Street, which still exists in Salem, Massachusetts. I descend from their oldest son, another
Joseph Cloutman, born about 1748. He
married Hannah Becket and had seven children all born in Salem.
Their eldest daughter, Mary (1755 – 1853), my 4th great
grandmother, married Abijah Hitchings, a Salem shipwright and carpenter.

I have Thomas Cloutman from Hingham, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, B. 1646 marrying Elizabeth Story in Salem, July 26, 1672 but other histories say Thomas had a brother John, from Aberdeenshire, but it says they came in 1690 to Plymouth. There is a "Cloutman Street" in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and the family was established thereabouts. Perhaps there's a 2nd Thomas Cloutman/Cloudman/Clouteman running around in colonial Massachusetts. Edward Cloutman, son of Thomas, is about my 10th or 11th Great Grandfather. I am John Folsom Cloutman III. I have been extending the Cloutman Tree at ancestry.com If you'd like to see it.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see it, because I'm trying to figure out my Cloutman genealogy as well. I am trying to figure out the parents of John Cloutman. John Cloutman 1726-1761 and Mercy (Marcy) Cook (1716-1809) are my 7th great-grandparents & their daughter Sarah Cloutman (1754 to 1820) & her husband Shubel Varney (1751-1818) are my 6th great-grandparents.
