The Clough family has a rich heritage from the Cloughs who came to New York from  Yorkshire, England, to the Friedles who came to New York City in  1811 from Germany to establish a thriving artifical flower factory, to the Bennetts  and Creans who trace their heritage to the Magna Carta Barons, to the Terretts who  were prominent in Connecticut and New York City, to the Rikers who were descendants  of the patriarch for whom the island in Manhattan is named, to the Kellys who came  from Charleston SC to establish the community of Woodside Queens, NY, and to the  Crandalls who stem from a long line of baptist ministers in Canada and the US.  I am  indebted to Gene Cole Zubrinsky and Ann Corum for their exhaustive efforts on the  Terrett and Kelly families.
