Samuel Gough

Samuel Gough was the husband of Elizabeth Gough and the father of James and Hannah Elizabeth Gough. Hannah and Samuel died of smallpox whilst being looked after James's wife Lucy Gough. The villagers were suspicious and accused Lucy of starving Elizabeth and Samuel.

Samuel was mentioned numerous times in 1978 when Samuel's great great great grandson Sam Pearson found Hannah Elizabeth's skull, and decided to learn more about his family.
