(A201) HARRIS of Cumberland/Salem Co., N.J. - Many families in
Cumberland Co. by late 1600s/early 1700s came from E. Hampton, LI., N.Y., with
much intermarriage there and in N.J. Your SHEPPARD and HARRIS
families came from there. There are three HARRIS brothers in Cumberland
Co., N.J., by 1715: Thomas, Nathaniel, & Samuel, and all early HARRIS
lines descend from them. They were sons of Thomas & Ruth (JAMES)
HARRIS of Easthampton, Killingsworth, Conn., where Thomas d. 1697. Ruth
JAMES b. Ca, 1664, was dau. of Rev. Thomas JAMES, b. in England
ca. 1621/2; d. at Easthampton, L.I., N.Y., 14 June 1696, the first minister
there. He m. at Easthampton ca. 1647 Ruth JONES, b. ca. 1628, dau. of
Rev, John JONES, a founder of Concord, Mass., and Fairfield, Conn.
Through the JAMES family the HARRISes descend from many
distinguished English families, incl. BULKELEY, GROSVENOR,
CHARLTON, etc. The line descends from much early royalty of England,
Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, the Capetian kings of France, and from
several Magna Carta sureties, as well as William the Conqueror and Charlemagne,
to list a few! There is proof for all. See also Cushing and Sheppard,
History of Cumberland County, N.J., and N.J. Archives Will Abstracts.

(A239) CLOUGH/WILSON/GRAY -Some work should be done on the families of
Ephraim & Mary (Johnson) CLOUGH, and John & Susanna (Wilson)
CLOUGH. See p. 99 and p. 101 of Eva C. Speare, The Genealogy of the
Descendants of John Clough of Salisbury, Mass. (1952). It seems unlikely
that there would be two Eunice Cloughs born the same day, given the same first
name and both married into the GRAY family. The info I have is
traditional taken from notes written in 1849 by Ruth (Champion) Clough, w. of
Jonathan Clough, the son of Rev, Salmon Clough: Jonathan’s great-grandparents’
family on the Clough side, sons of Ephraim Clough, Jonathan, Benjamin, Able,
Joseph, Amasa, Luther, Calvin, Chester, & Ephraim, this one was Jonathan’s
grandfather. He was the 13th ch. Jonathan’s grandfather Ephraim Clough, b. 1
Feb. 1771, m. Sally RICHARDSON. Ch,: Electa, Salmon, Dorcas, Diadama,
Hamilton, Luana, Sarah, Julia Ann, & Amelia. The genealogy (above) gives
this birthdate I have for Ephraim to Calvin, and Chester isn’t mentioned. Rev.
Salmon CLOUGH, b. 21 Aug. 1796; d. in Wood Co., Ohio, 27 May 1832; m. 12
Dec. 1819 Lucy WIGHTMAN, b. 7 Feb. 1795; d. at Ogden Twp., Lenawee Co.,
Mich., 8 Apr. 1872. They res. in Madison Co., N.Y.; she res. in Henry &
Fulton Cos., Ohio. I am desc. through their dau. Catherine Amelia CLOUGH
& Russell Kellogg CLAPP.

1768.” Some marriages listed incl. the m. of the above John to Martha
HOLMES/HOLMS 30 May 1758. Both sources available at NEHGS.
Question: were Josiah & Mary (Abbott) Goodridge the par. of Benjamin? Was
Josiah the youngest ch. of Benjamin & Sarah (CROAD)
GOODRIDGE? Will exchange info. Have a copy of Josiah’s will found in
the court house in Alfred, Me.

(A282) RICHARDS - Capt. Samuel Richards, b. at Plaistow, N.H., 6 Mar.
1732/3, m. (1) ca. 1751 Elizabeth ____ m. (2) ca. 1786 Margaret Pushor/Pushaw.
Ch. by first w., b. at Goffstown, N.H.: Betty 1753, David 1756, Phebe 1758. B.
at Hampstead, N.H.: Catey 1760, Ruth 1763, Samuel 1768, Robert. Ch. by second
w., b. near Frankfort, Me.: Rebecca ca. 1788, Catherine 1790, Sally/Sarah 1794,
Mary 1796, John 1798, Daniel ca. 1800, Jeremiah 1802, Job 1806.
Sources: Contrary to the statement by Abner Morse in Gen. Reg. of Desc. of
Several Ancient Puritans (1861), Vol. 3, pp. 184-86, and G. P. Hadley,
History of Goffstown, N.H. (1922), Vol. II, p. 425, Samuel
RICHARDS’s grandfather was not John RICHARDS of Newbury, but
undoubtedly Joseph RICHARDS of Newington and Rochester, N.H. An
examination of Essex Co. deeds and Newbury Town Records shows clearly that John
RICHARDS & w, Sarah (CHENEY) lived exclusively in Newbury
1694-1730s. If the claim by Wm. Cogswell, N.H. Hist. Soc. Col., VI
(1850), p. 56, and the E. N. Barnum, Atkinson Then and Now (1976) is
correct that Samuel Richards’s father Benjamin was of the Rochester, N.H.,
RICHARDS family, then only Joseph RICHARDS could be Samuel’s
paternal grandfather, and Justinian RICHARDS of Greenland and Newington
would be his great-grandfather. See also Libby, Noyes, & Davis, Gen.
Dictionary of Me. & N.H. (1983), and W. L. Holman, “Humphrey and John
Richards of Boston and Newbury, Mass.,” Ms at NEHGS.
