Charles Clough
Private, Company G, Age 29 From Kittery
CHARLES CLOUGH was born in Montpelier, VT in 1833, the son of Elijah and Rhoda (Ridwell) Clough, both VT born. He died on 7 Sept, 1907 in Kittery, ME at age 73 yrs,6 mos,10 das [ME vr] and is buried in Orchard Grove Cemetery, Kittery [YCCI pg 1108].
He married on or after 12 Dec, 1853 [intents filed in Kittery] to MARY ELEANOR FERNALD, the daughter of Robert and Eunice (Brown) Fernald. She was born 17 Oct, 1833 in Kittery and died there on 25 Oct, 1913 at age 80 yrs,8 das. Her ancestry can be found in Old Kittery, pg 400.
Charles was, in the 1860 census, listed as a farm laborer, but afterwards his occupation is given as a carpenter, ship carpenter (shipwright). The couple moved to Medford, Massachusetts soon after marriage, where a son was born, returning to Maine for a time before going to Vermont around 1859. The family moved back to Kittery in 1862, the year that Charles enlisted into the 27th Maine.
Old Kittery, pg 400, mentions this couple having 9 children. The 1900 and 1910 censuses confirm this number (7 said to be alive in former, 6 in latter rec):
