In reply to:
Gough, John,born 1817 England
11/21/98
My John Gough was born 20 Mar 1819/21?
Douglas Co. IL History says 1819. in possibly
Scotland or Pa.
The information I have is that John lived in
Fulton Co. Pa.Pigeon Cove.
He was a carpenter and millwright in Pa.
He married Dorothy "Dolly" Fisher b 24 Mar 1821, of Bedford Co. Pa.
They are on the 1850 census in Fulton Co. Pa., however his name is spelled Gaugh on that census.
Their children were: Benjamin Franklin,
*Rebecca Jane(my Great Grandmother), Andrew Manuel, Job Calvin, Truax, Martha Elizabeth,Scott, and Rachel Frances.
From Pa.they went to Douglas Co. IL. arriving 17 May 1865.
The History of Douglas Co. Il. says that
John is the nephew of the great temperance lecturer John B. Gough.
I would like to know more.Who are the
parents of my John Gough?Where was he born, and when did he marry Dorothy?
Can you help?
I have information and pictures to share.
Please e-mail me privately.
