    "OCCUPATION: House carpenter. In 1673 Moses Gilman hoped that John Clough Sr. might be able to help him make up a shipment of 12,000 feet of merchantable boards sold to Mr. Thomas Woodbridge |EQC 6:412). On 13 April 1675, Ralfe Hall acknowledged judgment to John Clough of 3,500 feet of pine boards to be delivered at Exeter [EQC 6:23].

    "John (Clough), Watertown, tailor, came in the Elizabeth 1635, aged 22, was freem. 18 May 1642, by w. Jane had Eliz. b. 16 Dec. 1642; Mary, 30 July 1644; Sarah, 28 June 1646; John, 9 Mar. 1648. But he had sec. w. Susanna, tho. neither the d. of former w. nor m. of this is heard of, when he convey. his messuage to William Shattuck of W. and he rem. to Salisbury. Other ch. too he had, as Thomas, 29 May 1651; Martha, 21 Mar. 1654; and Samuel, 26 Feb. 1657, yet we may hardly be right to give the sec. w. more than the two last, or to deny her half a doz. His w. d. 16 Jan. 1680, and he d. 26 July 1691."

    NOTE: Savage combined/confused this man, John Clough, carpenter of Salisbury, with John Clough, tailor of Watertown. See Bond's Watertown, 1:162, for a brief sketch of the Watertown man.
