Hello cousin I am a descendant of Captain Simeon Clough through my grandfather, Capt. Neal Bradford Farwell, who wrote Chapter VI, “Cloughs on the Sea” in the 1943 “Story of the Family of John Clough of Salisbury,” a copy of which I have inherited. I also inherited Capt. Clough’s sword, flintlock pistol, and the original miniature portrait that appears between pp 182 and 183 of the book. These artifacts will be featured in an episode of “America’s Lost Treasures,” a series that will air on the National Geographic Channel starting in July. Our ancestor’s story will be featured in the final episode of the series, in early September. I am so glad to see that you have maintained the John Clough Society! I learned so much from the book (about my grandfather and his father, among other things), but I didn’t expect to find the organization to still be active. (72 YEARS) I hope that our appearance on TV will serve to raise awareness of our family’s long and very American story.
