Hi Sheila,
I am hesitant to send you the attached desc. as I am just starting the research on my Clough line. Since we live in So. Calif. it is difficult at best to research New England and my health will not allow me at this time to go to New England, I was hoping to rent a small place for 4-6 months to allow me the luxury of a well paced research. I am enclosing what I have as I am supposing that you have all the Clough documentation that I am missing and my line is fairly well documented up to the Judith Clough that m. Benjamin Wadleigh. Yes, I would very much like to have the information you have on Benj. and the Wadleigh ancestry as it would all be new to me.
If you have the time I would appreciate any corrections on my ancestry [or information on how to find a correct Clough family line]. I have been working on my genealogy for abt. 20 yrs. and my mother & aunt for 15 yrs. before me. They worked soley out of local libraries and from family letters etc., and I have followed through by sending for documentation from Historical Societies, courthouses etc., and in person visits to the area being researched. I would like to think that my research is 100% correct but of course as a realist I know that any research is subject to errors.
Thank you for responding to my request,
Linda Hansen

Dear Linda,
Thank you for your query about John Clough's wives. His first wife - and
the woman with whom he had children - was Jane. We do not know her maiden
name. There is speculation about her maiden name but nothing we can use as
proof. Therefore, we know nothing of her heritage.
Since you are a descendant of John Clough of Salisbury, MA who came to New
England on the ship Elizabeth in 1635, I encourage you to join the John Clough
Genealogical Society (JCGS). Our annual dues are $15 per calendar year.
You will receive our quarterly bulletin and your dues also assist with my
expenses in dispensing information to family members.
Also, since you are a descendant of John Clough I am very interested in your
ancestry information in order to bring my Clough database as up to date as
possible.
To join the JCGS please contact our Treasurer, John Clough at

Judith was b. October 01, 1700 in Salsbury, according to inform. off the web. [ich, I don't do research that way but still need to go to New England for my primary source information]
She m. Benj. Wadley/Wadleigh.
John Plummer gave me this information
"Strangely enough, there were 2 Benjamin Wadleighs living near the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border at the same time. Both had wife Judith!
Freelove Wadleigh's father, however, was the Benjamin Wadleigh who married Judith Clough 24 December 1722. Her ancestry is traced in Hoyt's Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury. The Benjamin Wadleigh who married Judith Morrill was son of Joseph Wadleigh and Abigail Allen."

I don't have a Judith Clough being born to John2 Clough and Mercy Page. But
their son Benoni, who married Hannah Merrill, had a daughter named Judith,
born July 5, 1712, according to the Clough genealogy book. I don't show a
husband for her, but this Judith would have been too young to marry in
1722.

I don't have a Judith Clough being born to John2 Clough and Mercy Page. But
their son Benoni, who married Hannah Merrill, had a daughter named Judith,
born July 5, 1712, according to the Clough genealogy book. I don't show a
husband for her, but this Judith would have been too young to marry in
1722.

The house of my great-grandmother, Avis Jones Clough, didn't catch fire, but
most of the village of South China, Maine, burned to the ground. The fire
started in the middle of the night in a store that sold liquor. Witnesses
report huge billows of flame as barrels of whiskey and rum caught fire.
Some years earlier, taverns at a nearby crossroads burned to the ground.
There is no proof that prohibitionists were involved, but a local storeowner
served two years in jail for trying to bribe a man to burn down the local
Baptist Church, which is where the prohibitionists held their meetings. As
for the burning of the Masonic Hall, it's impossible to know for sure what
happened unless more is known about the local feuds. But I think it was
arson.
Most Quakers are pacifists, but not all. Quakers were prominent in the New
England whaling industry, and the shoe industry, too. There were no tougher
business people anywhere, and they were not tolerant of other faiths. My
4th great-grandfather, Samuel Clough (John4, John3, John2, John1), a
Congregationalist, married a Quaker girl, Sarah Estes, in Maine. Records
show Sarah and Samuel were shunned by the Quakers until Samuel agreed to
convert, at which point they were welcomed back. Many Maine Quakers trace
their family roots to Samuel and Sarah. One of my distant Quaker cousins in
Maine married a non-Quaker woman and was put on trial before the Quaker
elders. He explained that he had asked every Quaker woman he knew to marry
him, and they had all said no. The elders forgave him.

I was off by 50 years, sorry. I would think by the 1870's that new growth would have matured, so that timber business in N.B. would have gradually matured providing growing employment. I guess the attraction for N.B. emigration to Maine would be the availability of jobs in a thriving economy here. My family had a history of traveling back and forth from Bangor to Newcastle. Children were reported born at both ends. I can't imagine the roads, the time, and the breakdowns they experienced.
As far as your grandmother's house in Maine burning down in 1872 could that be due to discrimination against Quakers, in general? Or something like a chimney fire? I realize the Quakers were staunch Prohibitionists and may have incited some bootleggers. I don't see any connection with the burning of the Masonic lodge as Masons don't have a reputation of violence, unless one of them was a bootlegger. I, certainly, don't suspect a Quaker of burning down a Masonic Hall being peaceful people. Again, open fires caused a lot of fires.

Miramichi Fire
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Miramichi Fire refers to a massive forest fire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_fire> (or series of fires) which devastated forests and communities throughout much of northern New Brunswick<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Brunswick> in October 1825. It ranks among the three largest forest fires ever recorded in North America. About 1/3 of the homes in Fredericton<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredericton> were destroyed, but the main devastation was 100 miles to the northeast. On the evening of October 7, 1825, the firestorm<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestorm> roared through Newcastle, New Brunswick<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle%2C_New_Brunswick> (now part of the City of Miramichi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramichi%2C_New_Brunswick>), and in less than 3 hours reduced the town of 1,000 people to ruins - of 260 original buildings, only 12 remained. Only 6 of 70 buildings survived in the adjacent village of Douglastown<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglastown%2C_New_Brunswick>. The fire similarly destroyed other communities, including Moorefield, Napan, and Black River. Chatham<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham%2C_New_Brunswick>, Nelson<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson-Miramichi>, and Doaktown<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doaktown> escaped the fire.
To escape the blaze many residents took refuge with livestock and wildlife in the Miramichi River<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramichi_River> - about 160 people died, including prisoners in the Newcastle Jail.
In total the fire(s) consumed almost 16,000 km² (about 1/5 of New Brunswick's forests). The blaze has been partly attributed to unusually hot weather in the fall and summer of 1825.
The communities were soon rebuilt, but many of those affected moved to communities bordering the Bay of Chaleur<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Chaleur>, including Campbellton<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbellton%2C_New_Brunswick>, Dalhousie<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalhousie%2C_New_Brunswick>, Beldune<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beldune&action=edit>, and the southern Gaspé<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasp%C3%A9_Peninsula> coast. Although the lumber industry recovered, the fire is considered responsible for the end of the masting industry on the Miramichi River<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramichi_River>

My grandfather's branch of the Clough family came from Maine, and evidence
seems to indicate that New Englanders and Maritime Canadians moved back and
forth across the border at will. Some family trees show children born in
the U.S. and Canada both. My grandmother was born in Nova Scotia, but lived
most of her life in Massachusetts. I don't think she ever became a U.S.
citizen.
I'd like to learn more about that 1870s forest fire. Most of the home town
of my Quaker great-grandmother (who married a Quaker Clough) in Maine burned
to the ground in 1872. The cause was never discovered, but I suspect arson,
instigated by a feud between Quakers and liquor dealers, who made a handsome
living selling booze to thirsty travelers on the Bangor road. A week later
the Masonic hall burned down, in what might have been revenge. In the age
of wood-framed buildings and ineffective firefighting equipment, fire was a
deadly weapon.

We know folks even today who (because of their proximity to the border and
the nearest medical facilities) were born either in the US or in Ca. The
records were not kept quite correctly and now (since 9/11) there are all
kinds of problems.
We know of one elderly gentleman who was born in Ca. because it was the
closest place to go. He is not a legal US citizen because of this ... never
knew it ... grew up in Maine - lived his whole life in Maine and only
recently discovered that he is not a US citizen!!
I imagine this happened all along the border between the US and Ca.

Thanks, Jo
All the links worked fine, and there is tons of information, although I
don't think Canada has had the vast record keeping of the U.S.
I found my maternal grandfather was recorded as born in Newcastle on the
Mirimichi River, although I have a birth certificate showing he was born in
Bangor, ME. Conversely, I found a previously unknown and older sister's
birth recorded as being born in Bangor-USA. I think there were a lot of
families who emigrated from N.B. to Maine in the late 1800's to find work.
There was a huge forest fire I think in the 1870's that gutted most of the
Province, including Fredrickton, the capital. That put a lot of men out of
work. Maine, on the other hand, was like an industrialized nation all by
itself with plenty of work. Talk about illegal aliens! I think families
recorded births in Maine thinking that gave children citizenship, which is
still going on in other parts of the country.
