John Hough and Sarah Post of New London, was a granddaughter of John Post the first, and Hester Hyde, of Norwich. She is the 3rd great-grandmother of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd President of the United States.^[2]

2. John Marshall, born March 25, 1718, at Norwich, Connecticut.
3. Thomas Marshall, born July 1, 1724, at Norwich, Connecticut. He married Anne Manwaring.
4. Anne Marshall, born August 16, 1711, at Norwich, Connecticut. She married Noah Abel.

Disputed Death date

From a merged profile managed by Joe Kenworthy, there was a death date of 1720. We have proof that she was living in 1724 as she had a son named Thomas. Also, we know that after her death, her husband remarried. That marriage would have been earlier had she died in 1720, as there would have been young children that needed care. No source for her death has been found at this time. WikiTree-6 15:03, 20 February 2017 (EST)
