John Clough

  • English


John Clough was an early English colonist in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, part of the first generation of settlers who transformed the coastal frontier into a permanent New England community. A tradesman and house builder in the new world, he helped raise the early structure in Salisbury while steadily expanding his holdings. Through decades of labor — farming, construction, and careful management — he accumulated hundreds of acres on Salisbury Plains, establishing an estate that anchored the Clough family in the region for generations. - AsNotedIn
