Martha CLOUGH 1691
by by way of "Bonnie S. Dannenberg" <bonniesd@Together.Net>
Hello List,
I am trying to find clarification on the above individual.
CLOUGH, Martha b. Mar 17, 1691 Salisbury, Essex, MA, d/o John and Martha
CLOUGH. Verified in the Salisbury Vital Records.
As I search for information I find that quite a few people seem to confuse
her with the following:
CLOUGH, Mercy b. Mar 17, 1691 Salisbury, Essex, MA, d/o John and Mercy
(PAGE) CLOUGH. Verified in the Salisbury Vital Records.
Mercy CLOUGH married Jacob FLANDERS in Salisbury. According to the
Salisbury Vital Records, they filed intentions on Sept 27, 1710.
Jacob and Mercy Flanders were my 7th great grandparents.
There seem to be those that believe that Martha and Mercy are one in the
same individual, even though they have different mothers according to
the vital
records. It certainly is confusing since they share the same birthdate, in
the same town, and their fathers have the same first name.
Does anyone have any proven evidence as to whom Martha married or what
happened to her? Hopefully someone is descended from her family line of
John and
Martha and can provide some additional information.
Her mother was Martha BLAISDELL CILLY according to the book The Genealogy of
the Descendants of John Clough of Salisbury, MA
I appreciate any information anyone can provide.
