Is anyone familiar with Joseph Clough? He served in Wisconsin as a Freewill Baptist minister. I am President of the Wisconsin Freewill Baptist Historical Society and am trying to find descendants of deceased ministers, like I am, in the hopes of learning more about these people as well as possible orchestrating a "reunion" of the descendants of these ministers in 2008. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Mary, do you have any more records on the McDuffie's? I am trying to find my gg grandfather William. On the 1860 Holmes County Florida Census he is listed McDuffee) as being born Sept. 1827 in Georgia. No other details. I have not been able to find out who his parents were nor in what part of Georgia he was born. On the Civil War records he was listed McDuffey. My gg grandmother Charity Taylor McDuffie received word he had been killed. She filed for and received a Widow's Pension. However when I checked with ADAH the researchers could find no record of his death and no recdord of his burial. Anyone having any information that will help solve this mystrey, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Being new to the list, I have a question about Richard Clough and Ann
Booker.
Richard is said to be a son of Richard Clough who married Ann Poindexter
June 1718 St. Peter’s Parish in New Kent County (Hanover County had not yet been
formed from New Kent County).
The will of Molly Clough of Powhatan County, signed 9 April 1779, lists
several nieces, one nephew and her brother. From other databases on
WorldConnect, her siblings appear to be:
George Clough (brother of Molly Clough and father of Rebecca Clough in will)
Ann Booker Clough (wife of John Overton and mother of Sally & George Overton
in will)
Rebecca Clough (wife of Richard Eggleston and mother of Rebecckah Eggleston
in will)
Sarah (Sally) Clough (wife of William Bickley and mother of Elizabeth, Peggy
& Sally Bickley in will)
Elizabeth Clough (wife of Charles Barret and mother of Mary Barret in will)
So, from this one source, we appear to have six Clough children of a single
Clough father.
Rebecca Clough’s children with Richard Eggleston appear to begin being born
in 1750. This implies a marriage ca. 1749. If Rebecca was 18 when she
married Richard, she was born ca. 1731 (if 16 at marriage, birth ca. 1733).
The earliest birthdate for Richard Clough (son of Richard Clough and Ann
Poindexter) would be ca. 1719. In 1731, he would be 12 at the oldest (in 1733,
14 at the oldest). It seems unlikely that Rebecca Clough was a daughter of a
Richard Clough, son of Richard Clough and Ann Poindexter. If Rebecca wasn’t
a daughter of a Richard Clough and Ann Booker then neither were her 5
siblings.
There don’t seem to be any sources for a marriage of Richard Clough and Ann
Booker or the births of their children.
Ann Booker is listed in some databases as a daughter of Edmund Booker (b.
ca. 1693 d. 2 June 1758) of Amelia County. She is listed with a birthdate ca.
1720 or ca. 1730. Edmund Booker also had a son Edmund Booker (b. 17 Sep.
1719 d. 1793). In Marriages of Amelia County Virginia 1735-1815 is a marriage
bond dated 16 June 1763 for Ann Booker and James Hill with surety Edmund
Booker. No database lists a daughter named Ann for the younger Edmund, so this
could be his sister Ann Booker.
It appears to me that the Clough siblings of Molly Clough were all children
of Richard Clough and Ann Poindexter.
I would appreciate listers with more research experience in these early
Clough generations helping me understand this apparent contradiction. Right now,
it appears that the Richard Clough / Ann Booker marriage and assigning of
offspring may be an attempt to “fit things in” without any source backup.

His son, Ebenezer Clough b. 1716 of Boston, supposedly married Sarah Ann Webber, according to a bunch of web sites. However, I've also seen that some claim that the Salisbury, MA, Clough family had the Ebenezer Clough who married Webber. Anyone have proof either way?

Sorry, made a mistake about churches.
Ebenezer & Thankfull Clough were members of New North Church (founded 1714) on corner of Clark/Hanover streets in Boston. This was a Congregational church.
Ebenezer helped build Old North Church/Christ Church in 1723 on 193 Salem Street, near his house. This was the second Anglican Church.
