      ID: I126 Name: ELINOR GOUGH Sex: F Birth: 1741 Death: 1768 Change Date: 19 DEC 2001 at 07:51:02

      Father: JAMES GOUGH
      Mother: PRISCILLA HEARD

      Marriage 1 JOHN C. CLARK b: 1724/1725

      RICHARD LONGHORN CLARK b: 1750/1751
      JANE CLARK b: Abt 1741 in ST MARYS CO,MARYLAND
      Dear Tom.

      This Will is of John Greenwell son of James Greenwell and Grace Taylor.
      This John Greenwell married Catherine Wiseman daughter of John Wiseman and
      Catherine Miles daughter of Francis Miles. John Greenwell was a brother to
      Charles Greenwell who married Mary_____, and Grace Greenwell who married
      Thomas Clarke son of Robert Clarke Sr. And Sarah Combs.

      His brother Henry Greenwell married Eleanor Clarke daughter of Robert
      Clarke Sr. And Sarah Combs. His brother James Greenwell Married Sarah
      Clarke daughter of Robert Clarke Sr. and Sarah Combs.

      Grace Greenwell and 1st husband Thomas Clarke had a son John Clarke born
      abt 1724/25 who married Eleanor Gough daughter of James Gough and Priscilla
      Heard. Eleanor Gough (Clarke) married 2nd to John Basil Greenwell son of
      John Greenwell and Catherine Wiseman. John Basil Greenwell and John Clarke
      were 1st cousins. Eleanor Gough (Clarke) (Greenwell) married third to James
      Wheatly.

      Tom you may want to correct this in your records when you state that Henry
      Greenwell married Eleanor Gough. I'm afraid that is not possible. I have
      the Church records as well as the inventory of Eleanor Gough's husband's.
