Dear Sheila:
How wonderful to hear about Dr. Sykes' book...it is indeed an honor for the Society to get mentioned! Is there a chance that you might be able to pull a few strings and get some of these books signed by Dr. S, and then maybe the Society could sell them; is there a chance to make a tiny profit for the JCGS?? I would certainly love to get a copy of the new book, but a signed copy...that would be icing on the cake!
Hope you and Rhys are doing well. Blessings to you both!
Fondly, Susan (Green) Clack

Dear Listers,
My former boss, Bryan Sykes, has written his third book. The North American
title is 'Saxons, Vikings, and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and
Ireland.' The UK title is 'Blood of the Isles.'
In the North American Preface to this book he mentions his first meeting
with "a group of American's from the John Clough Genealogical Society."
For those of you who were part of my first group trip, I am sure you will
remember fondly our time at Oxford University with Dr. Sykes as well as my very
enthusiastic reaction to our DNA analysis results.
For those of you who were part of my second group trip, I am sure you will
remember fondly our time at the restaurant in Oxford with Dr. Sykes and office
personnel of Oxford Ancestors.
It is lovely he chose to include the JCGS in the preface of the North
American version of his newest book. My years as Chief US Operations Officer for
Oxford Ancestors were among the happiest and I am proud to see that the
Clough's have made such a positive impression on the mind of this pioneering
scientist - the first to use DNA analysis to assist with traditional genealogical
research. All of the company's who now do DNA analysis for the genealogical
community owe him a large debt of gratitude as the engineer of this ever
fascinating branch of science.

Hi,
I guess it is time to post this data again. I have been researching for 10 yrs and post occasionally in the hopes new members may be able to help me
Not much is known of this family so I would welcome any information whatsoever:
Hannah Clough ( 6, Ithamer 5, Timothy 4, Jonathan 3, John 2, John 1)
b: September 18, 1775 in Tolland, Conn was the wife of William Sweet b:
1772 in Rhode Island. William Sweet left RI at a very early age and moved
to Washington County, New York There he married Hannah about 1891. They
moved from Hartford, NY to Ticonderoga in 1813 where he bought a 200 acre
tract of land in the Vineyard. Here he built the first squared log house
in town. When this house was built, the old log barn across the road had
already been built for some time, and many think it was one of General
Burgoyne's outposts. Later Hannah and William moved to St Lawrence Cty (Gouverneur) where they lived out their lives. William
died November 07, 1854 and Hannah died February 10, 1868
The old house was occupied by several generations until destroyed by fire in 1927. If anyone has question , I should be able to answer them
Thank you,
Jerry
The important thing about John Rowlands is that he survived the heavy burdens imposed upon him by the circumstances of his birth, the abandonment by his family, as well as the many cruelties of St. Asaph's Workhouse. He became a writer of distinction and an explorer of such skill and iron determination that Africans called him "Bula Matari" -- breaker of rocks. His three books still make great reading today.

Sheila and Dean, I remember as well the white house where Stanley lived with
his grandparents right next door to Denbigh Castle. I also recall the
foundation stones nearby the white house and castle where Stanley was born--if I am
not mistaken. Susan Clough Wyatt
Dean,
Thank you for the information. I don't remember off hand but I certainly
take your word for it. :-) Imagine having Denbigh Castle in your backyard!
:-)
Hope you and Martha are well! :-)
Best Wishes,

Sheila... thanks for posting the message about the Cloughs of Denbigh,
Wales, and Sir Henry Morton Stanley, the famous explorer who also had
connections to Denbigh.
Stanley (1841-1904) was one of the most amazing characters of the 19th
century, and Stanley was not his real name. He was born John Rowlands in
Wales, son of an unmarried mother. He grew up in an orphanage under
terrible conditions. As a young man he worked his way to America, where he
adopted a new name, and where he fought on _both sides_ in the U.S. Civil
War! Later he became a reporter for the New York Herald, and was sent to
find Dr David Livingston, a British missionary who had vanished in eastern
Africa. Stanley found him ("Dr. Livingston, I presume") and went on to
other explorations, where his courage and determination made him world
famous. However, he was never able to write his autobiography, because the
real story of his life would have affected his public image... and because
of his uncertain loyalties in the Civil War.

Dear Listers,
As many of you have found out from this list or from the research done by
myself, Rebecca Harpole, and the John Clough Genealogical Society (JCGS), Sir
Richard Clough was born and raised in Denbigh, Wales in the mid 1500's. We
found through DNA analysis that the descendants of Sir Richard Clough and the
descendants of our John Clough of Salisbury, MA are somehow genetically
connected. Following is an article concerning another Denbigh native, Henry Morton
Stanley of Dr. Livingstone fame.
It is an interesting article from the Daily Post and I hope you all enjoy
it. For those of you who have accompanied me to Denbigh, I am sure the article
will have a little deeper meaning for you. :-)
Best Wishes,
Sheila
Keep hero’s legacy in home town
Feb. 2, 2007
by Roland Hughes, Daily Post
TOWN leaders last night vowed to hang on to artefacts which once belonged to
one of their most famous sons. Denbigh man Henry Morton Stanley is famous
for discovering explorer David Livingstone in deepest Africa in 1871. To
honour one of their own Denbighshire County Council and Denbigh Town Council
bought a number of artefacts once belonging to Stanley in 2002. But the town’s
museum has now lost its accreditation, meaning the Stanley memorabilia,
including glass plate negatives of the explorer, must leave the town. The Stanley
artefacts may go on tour throughout the county until a permanent home is
found.
Denbighshire secured lottery funding to buy the Stanley items at auction.
They have been on display at Denbigh Library since 2004. But the Assembly-led
body responsible for museums and libraries Cymal has now stripped Denbigh
Library of its museum status. Accreditation was removed because of
insufficient museum space at the listed building and the lack of educational and
environmental control facilities.
Cymal is now working with Denbighshire to assess where the collection should
be housed. A Denbighshire spokesman said a home could be found in a
dedicated Museum of Denbigh, possibly in the former Gwasg Gee works. But Denbigh
mayor Raymond Bartley said: “It is a disgrace that we have got to move these
items from the library to another accredited museum in the county. “At the end
of the day it is our memorabilia. Stanley was a Denbigh man and we, as a
council, contributed to buying these items. We are not going to let this go.”
