Notes for Samuel Clough:
The Genealogy of the Descendants of JOHN CLOUGH of Salisbury, Massachusetts, Published by THE JOHN CLOUGH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, Inc.. 1952. Eva Clough Spear, Editor, pg 49-51:
8--SAMUEL (John) Born Feb. 20, 1656/7. Perhaps the only child of John and Jane to be born on Salisbury Plains. Samuel was married on Aug. 3 1679, to Elizabeth Brown, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Mumford) Brown of Amesbury, Mass. William Brown came to Salisbury about 1642.
Samuel lived in Amesbury on "Clough Hill," in more recent times called "The Buttonwoods" according to a statement by Milon O. Cluff, genealogist This name is derived from the knobs, like buttons, that protrude from the bark of the Sycamore tree that grows in New England, hence the name, Buttonwood.
Samuel was a blacksmith, proved by his will when he gave his tools to his son, Ebenezer. The probable location of the home of Samuel may be seen beside a cross-road that stretches between the present route from Amesbury to Salisbury and a road along the bank of the Merrimack River. This crossroad climbs steep hills to a plateau, known to this day as The Buttonwoods, where a race track was located in former years.
From an historical article that is preserved in the Public Library at Merrimac, Mass. the statement was copied that "The Buttonwoods" was know as Indian Ground" and it is recorded that an Indian village once occupied this clearing before Samuel built his home there. Doubtless the Indians disappeared after the epidemic of the 1610 period.
Samuel was a "Snowshoe Man" in 1708, meaning a member of a band of pioneers that was organized to protect the settlements at a moment's notice from Indian raids.
Samuel died at the age of 52 and in his will he gave his homestead to his youngest son, David, who continued to live in Amesbury and was a prosperous man. The location of the rights of commonage that John Clough purchased in Amesbury and willed to the two elder sons of Samuel has not been traced. No record remains of the burial place of Samuel or his wife. Their home was in a wilderness in 1709 when Samuel died, and without doubt they lie under the shadow of Clough Hill that rises just south of The Buttonwoods.

Notes for Enoch Hutchins:
Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, by Sybil Noyes; Charles T. Libby, and Walter G. Davis, 1928-1939:
Like his father, this Enoch Hutchins had trouble with the Indians. The house he inherited from his father was attacked by Indians for the second time on May 4, 1705. Enoch was left wounded and helpless, probably later dying from his wounds. His wife was taken captive with 3 sons; was in Canada in 1706, gave birth to her fourth child while in Canada, but was back by Jan 13, 1706/7.
His son, William, born Aug 1, 1694 (called Nicholas in Canada), returned unexpectedly in Jan 1732 to be disowned by brothers, but accepted by mother. His son, Thomas, born Sep 20, 1696, and his brother Enoch were also captured but how and when they returned is unknown.
