  Obituary	Massachusetts Mercury (Boston), Friday 16 Mar. 1798, vol. XI, Issue 22, p3: On Wednesday evening last, after a short, but painful illness, which he bore with uncommon christian fortituted and patience, in full assurance of a blessed immortality, Mr. John Clough, in the 79th year of his age. It may truly be said of him, that he died the upright honest man and real christian. His reminas will be entombed tomorrow afternoon, at 5 o'clock, from his late dwelling house near Charles River Bridge, whihc his relations and friends are requested to attend without further invitation.
  Died	14 Mar 1798	Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts   [2]
  Notes	The family is not recorded in the Clough family genealogies by Eva Spear, except in the first (pub. 1943) to record the story of his son Stephen Clough's attempt to rescue Marie Antoinette. Ebenezer Clough, along with the genealogies of his family members, records in the bible that "John Clough had a Negro Woman called 'Grace,' who died in his family in the Town of Needham Jany 28th 1776 during the Revolutionary War. She had lived in his family Seventeen Years, and died between 70 and 80 Years of her Age." He also records that "William Clough a Nephew of said John Clough died in Boston at the House of Ebenezer Clough March the 3rd 1824 in the Ninety-third Year of his Age." That would be, born bet. abt. Mar. 1731 and Mar. 1732. Identifying this person would help to identify John Clough's parentage as well. A William Clough, child of Ebenezer and Ann Clough, was born 3 Nov. 1727 in Boston. Might this be him? The name Ebenezer would have been passed down through the family. [3, 4, 5]
