Message Board Post:
I have been trying to find the parents of Elijah Herrick Clough for many years now. Various family trees have him born in New York, but I read the handwriting on some of the censuses as NH, New Hampshire. There are records of various Elijah Cloughs throughout New England, but none seem to jive with my info.
Elijah Herrick Clough married Fanny Cox in Vermont and they had all girls. One of these was Harriet Clough Nettleton, my great grandmother.
My theory is that Elijah might have been born Elijah Herrick and that Clough was his stepfather. Another theory is that he was born in Canada and crossed over to the US illegally, which is why his place of birth was different on various documents.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Pamela Davis Hirth
