from the book "John Clough Descendants" Elizabeth was born in the home on the Beach Road that leads to Amesbury, near the Garrison House. John Clough her father believed in education for his daughters as well as his sons and Elizabeth attended the village school. Elizabeth and William established their home in Dover, New Hampshire, the first member of the Clough Family in that Colony. They lived on Horne's Hill on 6th street. Elizabeth had the distinction of being the only woman to sign her own name, among many signers of a petition to MA on 20 Feb 1689/70 to set up a temporary government. All other women made their mark. William Horne was killed by the Indians during the raid upon Dover when the Waldron Garrison House and several other garrisons were burned and many inhabitants were massacres and a number of prisoners were taken either to Maine or to Canada.
