Hello Tula. I live in the UK too. The whole Dearie/ Cluff family can be found on the 1880 US census in New York on the IGI/Family Search website. Mary Cluff widowed is keeping house, her father is Rchard Dearie male 80. He was born in 1800 in Glasgow. He married at least 3 times. The children of his first wife lived in New Orleans. With his second wife Elizabeth Hogg he had Annie, George, Mary and Bessie. (Who is also in the household on the 1880 US census as Elizabeth McCastline). They all lived in London for a time, then he went back to New York with Bessie and Mary and Annie stayed in the UK. (Very long and shocking story behind Richard Dearie, but I will leave that for another time)
I have an old family tree written in the 1930s by Annie's daughter, which says Mary (very nice) married Cluff (Peterboro?) . They had 2 sons Burgess (died) and Richard who married and had a daughter who married Loftus of New York. The tree also has Bessie marrying 1. Mc Castlen 2. Robinson. I am pretty sure this is the right family. I'm descended from Annie. I know that Annie was born in New York and Mary I think in Philadelphia . If you have any more information about Mary's birthplace or where she lived, I would be very interested because this part of my research is missing. I have copies of 4 photographs of Mary signed on the back or front. One taken in a 6th avenue New York studio and one of her with her 2 sons from a Union Square studio in New York. Very stong chin! She also appears in a wedding group at my great uncle George's wedding in Beckenham in 1909. She's on the ship's passenger list of the Cedric going back to New York in the same year. I suppose she w!
ould be my great great Aunt.
All the best,
Claire

Tula,
Has any male in your family had a DNA analysis...? My family has a perfect match with a Samuel CLOUGH who came to America around 1880 from Cheshire region in England. However, my ancestor was born in 1815 in Kentucky in the USA. They must have had common ancestors in England.
I see on Google that Nottingham is only about 75 miles from Cheshire. Could there be a connection between our folks...?
I'd like to invite you all to join the CLUFF Mailing List. Merely send a message to cluff-request(a)rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. I'm the List Admin for this family discussion list. I'm also administrator for this Cluff message board on RootsWeb/Ancestry. I'm happy to help in any way!

Hello Claire from a very cold & frosty England.
It was nice to hear from someone on the message board.
A had a relative called Burgess Cluff born 1827 in Northamptonshire, England. He married Mary Dearie on 1st July 1868 in Manhattan New York USA They had 2 sons Burgess Cluff born May 1869 & Richard (Dick is a nickname of Richard!)born 4th August 1870 both born in New York USA. Burgess Cluff senior died 13th March 1871 aged 43 in USA.
Burgess Cluff junior died 28th April 1912 aged 42 in USA.
Richard Burgess died May 1964 aged 93 in Virginia USA.
Just wondering if this is the same family as yours. Did your Mary Dearie ever marry? Could they be the same?
Look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes & a happy new year
Tula Ticehurst (nee Cluff)

Yes, Minnie had a brother Frank (b 1873). In addition, their parents, Thomas R. (ca 1828 KY) and Margaret E. (PEACOCK) CLUFF had John H. (b 1858), Margaret A or N (b Jan 1860), Josephus M. (b 1865), Anna (b 1876) and Anita or Austa (b 1879). I found this out from census records so there may be more children. I'm looking for a male descendant from this family using the surname of CLUFF who would help us out with a DNA Study. We're trying to find the brothers of Charles C. CLUFF (b 1815 KY) living primarily in Highland Co., Brushcreek Twp., OH and Parnell P. CLUFF (b 1822 OH) who lived not only in the same county as Charles but also in Pike Co., Perry Twp, OH (same as Thomas R.) as well as Illinois where he is buried. Descendants of Charles and Parnell match. We need more participants from the CLUFF's of southern Ohio and to connect them to Reuben and Catherine (HENTON) CLUFF. Please help.
Is it ironic that Thomas R CLUFF's family lived in Cynthiana, Perry Twp., Ohio. I looked up Cynthiana, KY and it is in Harrison County. That is where it is stated that a known son of Reuben and Catherine lived. We need DNA participants!! Financial help will be found if needed!

Happy New Year!
Ancestry notified me late yesterday afternoon that the 37 marker DNA
test results were available for viewing. Good News!! 36 of the 37
markers matched!
According to Ysearch.org, this means these descendants of Charles C.
CLUFF and Parnell P. CLUFF are "tightly related". Ysearch further
states that "very few people achieve this close level of a match.
Your mismatch is within the range of most well established surname
lineages in Western Europe." The mismatch was on one of the later
developed markers (DYS635). Ancestry.com states we relate within six
generations or less; 150 years ago. There is 132 years between my
brother and Charles C. CLUFF so we should still be OK for the
likelihood of Charles and Parnell being brothers. Close to one
hundred years in Parnell's line.
A CLUFF DNA Group has been created at Ancestry.com. By all means,
please contact me at <siders(a)cableone.net> if you or any of your
relatives wish to participate. You will then be subscribed to this
group. It would be great to have any and all Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois males with the surname of CLUFF to join in this DNA Study!
Hope you can help!
Much thanks goes to the current participants and those who supported
them!
