John Danforth, 4 (6) 1707 (August 4, 1706, not 1707), died in Boston*, Oct. 16, 1749, aged 42 years, and was buried in the ancient cemetery at Dorchester.

She was married twice.
First May 20, 1725, to Ebenezer Clough, of Boston, by the Rev. Jonathan Bowman. He was the son of Ebenezer and Martha (Goodwin) Clough, who were married in Boston, March 28, 1693, and was born in Boston, Dec. 9, 1697, and baptized at the First Church there, Dec. 12, 1697, his parents being members of that Church in full communion. Oct. 27, 1723, he was admitted to join the New South Church in Summer Street, Rev. Samuel Checkley, pastor. Dec. 28, 1725, Rachael, his wife was admitted to join the same Church. The had five children, who were all baptized at that Church by Rev. Mr. Checkley.

Ebenezer Clough died in Boston in 1734, and left an estate valued at £3792.

Nov. 10, 1736, Rachael (Glover) Clough was married the second time to Richard Salter, Esq., of Boston. She survived him, and died a widow. He was the son of Rev. Richard and (------) Salter, of Boston, was a merchant, and died in Boston in October, 1747. They had three children.

The will of Richard Salter, Sen., merchant, was made April 4, 1747, and proved November 3, of the same year. By this will, after the payment of his just debts and funeral charges, he bequeaths to his wife Rachael one third of all his estate personal, and the other two thirds of such estate to his son Richard Salter. Also, he bequeaths one third of all his real estate to his wife Rachael during her widowhood; the remaining two thirds to his son Richard Salter. If it please God to removed his wife until her intermarriage or death, and in that event to his brother John Salter, son of the Rev. Richard Salter. Signed by Richard Salter, in presence of Henry Atkins, Joseph Clarke and John Proctor.

*NOTES:
Have researched birth date and found sources that document her birth year as 1706 not 1707. This would make her baptism year as 1706 as well.

Place of Death: I have found sources that have her death place as Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

I have found all the dates of her children to be wrong in this book. I also found that she had four children with Richard Salter, not three.
