Catudal Families Carrying The Clough Name

There are really two issues regarding the Clough/Catudal families. The first is the issue of the seemingly spontaneous use of the Clough name by some members of the Catudal family.

There is a family story that was passed down to explain the reason that some of the members of a Catudal family started going by Clough. The story goes that Jean-Marie “Joseph” Catudal dit St-Jean (1823-1906) [2619] was actually born a Clough. His father was an English soldier and had moved the family to live on the Richelieu river near Fort Chambly. Upon arriving home one day Joseph discovered his family had been massacred by the Indians. He escaped and a Catudal dit St-Jean family took him in. Joseph changed his name to his 'adoptive' family's name. Years later, he found out that some of his family had indeed survived so he changed his name back to Clough.

There are problems with that story. Firstly, Indian attacks in Quebec during Joseph's lifetime where rare to non-existent, and certainly wiping out families did not occur – not there, not in that time-frame. There were Indian attacks but the closest to the east they occurred was Minnesota and as far south as Florida, at least as far as I can determine – both locations being 2,000 kilometres from the area where Joseph lived during this time.

Probably the most important point is in looking at how Québec record keeping was maintained and looking at French naming conventions. Let me first preface this next part by saying, there have always been the fudging of the books, as it were. It probably was a rare occurrence and one that would have been done to spare the embarrassment of a family but it was not a common practice.

Having said that, when a child was 'taken-in' that child kept their birth name. They may have taken the adoptive family's surname as a dit name but they almost certainly would have kept their birth name as well. When that child then went on to marry then their real parent's names would have gone on the record. Let me give you a for-instance: If a child born to a couple were to lose his mother as an infant and the father were to remarry a few months later, when that child would have gone on to marry the parent's names given on the marriage record would have been his birth parent's names. Even if he had been adopted by his new mother, even if she was the only mother he ever knew, the name on any of his official church records would have shown his birth mother's name.

I have Joseph's baptism, marriage and burial records and none of them have him listed with the name Clough. His baptism is entered sequentially with the others for the area – it was not inserted later or added to the registry some years later. This means that he was with the family from birth, which means he could not have come home to find his Clough family massacred by Indians.

Joseph did use the Clough name on at least one occasion. One of those occasions was the 1871 Canadian Census. He appears later on the 1901 Canadian Census as Joseph St-Jean.

Taking a look at his children, some of them took the Clough name, some the St-Jean or St. John name and some the Catudal name. They wavered back and forth between those names.

I'm speculating on why this happened and believe it very much has to do with the Patriot's Rebellion of 1837-1838. It reminds me of something similar which occurred with another Catudal family.

When Joseph Catudal dit St-Jean/St. John/Clough was about 15 years old the rebellion was in full swing. The rebellion divided many families. Parts of the family who were very much on the side of the French cause were enraged at the parts of their family who sided with the English and visa versa. The story concocted by one Catudal family to distance themselves from the other Catudal families has them appear as if they came to Québec in the early 1800's, from France, and were not related to the Québec Catudals. These family members sided with the English. I think it is very likely that Joseph also sympathized with the British and as such came up with a story to distance himself from the Catudal Patriots. I can't prove this but the timing is right and is supported by the paper trail.

The Catudal dit St-Jeans who lived in the Richelieu river near Fort Chambly moved away from that area in the 1700's. A few moved close-by to St-Mathias but by the 1800's had moved even farther away. The area suggested by the story of how Joseph ended up with the St-Jean name doesn't fit with the area mentioned in the time-frame mentioned.

I've checked the areas where Clough baptisms, death and marriages occurred in Québec and have not been able to locate any such events occurring in the Chambly or St-Mathias areas. They might have but I can't locate any. There are only two major areas where one sees Clough families and they are quite a distance away from one another and from the Chambly and St-Mathias areas. Those places are the St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec/St-Édouard, Gentilly, Nicolet, Québec areas and the Stanbridge, Missisquois, Québec area.

What is very interesting is that when Joseph or his children used the Clough name it was always either in a non-Catholic church or on a Census. They always went back to the Catudal/St-Jean/St. John names when they appeared in Catholic church record, always.

The second issue is that Joseph Clough aka Joseph Catudal dit St-Jean from the above story was linked by a researcher in the mid 1970's to a rather large Clough family who came over from England very early on. The researcher mixed-up Benjamin-Franklin Clough (abt. 1806-1883)'s son Joseph with our Joseph Catudal dit St-Jean aka St. John aka Clough. This mix-up stuck and there are a number of people on the Internet who have propagated the wrong information at face value.

There were 3 men who went by the name of Joseph Clough during this time in history who were born in a similar time-frame. The person researching their side of the Clough family mixed up the three. They settled on our Joseph presumably because they couldn't find their Joseph Clough's primary records and because the dates sort of were close. They ignored the data that spoke against such an assumption such as the use by most of Joseph's family of the name St-Jean or St. John; they skipped mentioning that. Also, they fudged the area of Joseph's birth by placing his birth in the area of Québec where their Clough family lived.

I've researched both Clough families mentioned above and can find no evidence, not one single shred, showing that the one Clough family from Nicolet, Québec came into contact with the St-Jean/Clough family from Stanbridge, Québec. Anything is possible but if they had then one could expect to see evidence in the historical record.

At the end of this document you will see a family report for both Clough families and will be able to see that one had nothing to do with the other.

In closing: I can't tell why Jean-Marie “Joseph” Catudal dit St-Jean's part of the Catudal family used the Clough name at times. I can only guess that it may very well have had something to do with the Patriot Rebellion as this wasn't completely unheard of at that time in history. I know that the French who sided with the British often also changed their religious practices to 'fit-in' and one sees them suddenly showing-up in Anglican and Methodist church records. What is worth noting is that in almost every case, when this particular family celebrated a baptism, marriage or burial they did so back in the Catholic church.

General Notes: Taken from FindaGrave.com, maintained by Mavanee:

Joseph Arthur Clough and his future wife Evelyn Mary Mitchell met at a dance. He married Evelyn on November 13, 1916 at Pocatello, Idaho. Joe was engaged in farming for 10 years. Quitting farming he then moved to West Yellowstone, Montana and was manager of the Yellowstone Hotel. They then came back to Shelley, Idaho. Joe and Evelyn raised white leghorn chickens. They had about a hundred of these chickens. They would take the eggs to the store to sell to buy groceries. On June 26, 1954, Joe passed away. His parents were Jehirin (Frank) Clough and Katherine Bodreau.²¹

Joseph married Evelyn Mary MITCHELL [6839],¹⁹ daughter of John Henry MITCHELL [6840]²¹ and Elizabeth Ann [6841],²¹ on 13 November 1916 in Bannock, Idaho, USA.¹⁹ Evelyn was born on 6 October 1896 in Shelly, Bingham County, Idaho, USA²¹ and died on 16 October 1990 in Blackfoot, Bingham County, Idaho, USA²¹ aged 94. They had no children.

General Notes: As taken from FindaGrave maintained by Mavanee:

Evelyn Mary Mitchell Clough was born on October 6, 1896 in Shelley, Bingham, Idaho in a house that has since been torn down. She was the second child born to John Henry and Elizabeth Ann Hull Mitchell. She had five brothers and two sisters. She attended school in Shelley and her best friend was her cousin, Nina Hull. Her young life was spent living with her grandparents. She walked 2 1/2 miles to school each day. Evelyn helped her grandmother, Ann Hull Mitchell, with housework and outside chores. Her grandma was old and grandpa was lame so they could not do very much. There was always a lot of work to do as she was growing up. Evelyn thinned beets, pulled weeds, picked potatoes, shocked grain, shocked hay and washed clothes on a washboard with a tub of water and a bar of soap. She was 20 years old when she met her husband, Joe Clough at a dance. They were married on November 13, 1916 at Pocatello, Idaho. Evelyn never learned to drive a car. She was an excellent cook. On June 26, 1954 her husband passed away. In order to pay her way, Evelyn went to work in the potato houses. At this time she was also taking care of her aged mother. This she did for 14 years. Her mother died in 1964. Evelyn also cared for her sister, Edith's, son who was born crippled. Evelyn took care of this little boy for five years until he, too, passed away. Joe and Evelyn never had any children of their own, but they considered all the nieces, nephews, cousins, their children. She had a beautiful smile and a happy countenance. Her yard was beautiful. She grew an abundant garden and had a large raspberry patch. You could always find her outside picking berries or working in her yard and garden. She was never idle. Even though she is gone, she leaves behind a sweet memory to all of us who knew her. She will be missed by everyone.²¹

Second Generation (Children)

5. Hector Joseph CLOUGH [6806]⁵ (Zéphirin ¹) was born on 14 March 1883 in St-Ignace-de-Stanbridge, Québec, Canada,¹³ was baptized on 1 April 1883 in St-Ignace-de-Stanbridge, Québec, Canada,⁴ and died after 1940.²² Another name for Hector was "Joseph" Hector ST-JEAN.¹³

Birth Notes: On the 1901 Census for Canada it has Joseph's birth data mixed-up with a brother. It has his date of birth as being 10 January 1881 and his brother as being born on the 14th of March 1883. As I have Joseph's original baptism record I've kept his date of birth as per that document.

On Hector's WWI Draft Registration Card he has his birth recorded as 18 March 1879. I have his baptism record and he was born as I have entered it. It is usual that a birth year is off by one or two years. It is unusual to be off by more, unless the records are for pre-1800 births, then it is more common than not. Incidentally, he was not able to sign his name to his WWI draft card. He placed his mark and it was signed by his witness William Goodell.

Death Notes: Hector is seen on the 1940 US Federal Census for Manchester, Hillsborough, New Hampshire and is noted as being married with the 'M' having been struck out and the number 7 added, which means that he was married but living apart from his wife.

Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Teamster - Plowing in 1920 in Lowell, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.³²

Hector married Anna COMTOIS [6830],⁵ daughter of Pierre COMTOIS [6831]⁵ and Louise CHAMPAGNE [6832],⁵ on 30 January 1910 in Lowell, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.⁵ Anna was born on 4 February 1877 in St-Charles-Borromée, Joliette, Québec, Canada,³³ was baptized on 4 February 1877 in Cathedrale, St-Charles-Borromée, Joliette, Québec, Canada,³⁴ and died on 1 October 1961 in Gardner, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA³⁵ aged 84. Another name for Anna was Annie COMTOIS.³⁶

Marriage Notes: Although Anna's marriage record says that she was 28 at the time of her marriage, which would have made the year of birth as about 1882, she was actually born 5 years earlier as per her baptism record and her headstone.³⁴

Birth Notes: Anna's headstone shows her as having been born in 1877.

Death Notes: His name on his death record is Frank Clough as well as on his marriage record.

General Notes: One of the great Genealogical mysteries - Frank was born under the name St-Jean. His father had a very unusual name of Zéphirin who, sometimes, used the first name of Phroah. For some reason, on Frank's marriage record it has his last name and that of Phroah's as Clough?? The mother's name of Alice Dandurand is correct. Everything matches but why the name Clough?

Clough Family Who Did Not Take The Catudal Name

Descendants of Joseph CLOUGH

First Generation

1. Joseph CLOUGH [7035]¹ was born Cal 1775² and was baptized on 15 June 1851 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada. Another name for Joseph was Joseph CLUFF.¹

Birth Notes: He converted to Catholic when he was 76 years of age.

Joseph married Mary Polly PIPER [7036]¹ on 17 October 1805 in Gilmanton, Belknap, New Hampshire, United States.³ Mary was born Cal 1783 and was baptized on 23 March 1851 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada.²

Baptism Notes: She converted to Catholic at the age of 68.

Children from this marriage were:

+ 2 M i. Benjamin-Franklin CLOUGH [7002] was born about 1806 in New York, USA⁴ and was buried on 4 October 1883 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada.

3 F ii. Marie Anna CLOUGH [7037] was baptized on 15 June 1851 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada.²

Birth Notes: Marie Anna was born well before her baptism. This baptism is a conversion to the Catholic faith. Unlike her parent's baptism, her age was not given.

+ 4 M iii. John CLOUGH [7038].⁵

Second Generation (Children)

2. Benjamin-Franklin CLOUGH [7002] (Joseph ¹) was born about 1806 in New York, USA⁴ and was buried on 4 October 1883 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada. Other names for Benjamin-Franklin were Benjamin François CLOUGH¹ and Benjamin F. CLUFF.¹

Birth Notes: Benjamin-Franklin's burial record states that he was 98 at the time of his death. On-line at Ancestry.com and with-in the document I received from Mavanee Steele the year of birth is given as "1806", which agrees with the 1861, 1871 and 1881 Canadian Census.

Further, on the 1861 and 1871 Canadian Censuses it has his place of birth as Québec but on the 1881 Canadian Census it has his place of birth as the USA. No State is given. Most have assumed that he was born in New Hampshire because his parents were married there but I have gone page by page through birth records looking for him and either missed something or he may not have been born in New Hampshire. I also did this for Vermont and Massachusetts.

I have put New York as his place of birth as on one of his children's Census records it has this as his place of birth. He may have been born in Québec but I could find no record after searching the correct time-frame and going page by page through the various possible churches.

Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Painter.¹

Benjamin-Franklin married Marie RHEAUL DITE ALEXANDRE [7003],¹ daughter of François RHEAUL DIT ALEXANDRE [7004]¹ and Geneviève LAROUCHE [7005],¹ on 12 February 1833 in St-Édouard, Gentilly, Nicolet, Québec, Canada.¹ Marie was born on 29 April 1816 in St-Édouard, Gentilly, Nicolet, Québec, Canada,¹ was baptized on 29 April 1816 in St-Édouard, Gentilly, Nicolet, Québec, Canada,¹ died on 7 September 1894 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada² aged 78, and was buried on 9 September 1894 in St-Célestin, Nicolet, Québec, Canada.² Other names for Marie were Marie BEAUN DITE ALEXANDRE,¹ Marie RAUX DITE ALEXANDRE,¹ and Marie REAUX DITE ALEXANDRE.¹
