Cheney Clow married Elizabeth Barcus (Barkhurst) and settled in the same area as Nathanial and Susannah.

Cheney chose to support the King of Britain and was commissioned a British officer at some point either earlier before the Revolution began or toward the beginning of Colonial Revolutionary activities.

As the war progressed the Tories constantly created terror by raiding and plundering the colonist, supplies to the British, robbed the mails, plotted against the life of Washington, and generally became very disliked by their neighbors.

On the morning of April 18, 1778, the Sheriff of Kent County, Delaware, John Clayton, went out to arrest Cheney Clow.

The pardon was not granted, and Cheney Clow "went bravely to his death, singing a hymn as he walked to the gallows".

In January 1790 the eldest daughter, Arrana, petitioned the State of Delaware to settle the estate of Clow and to distribute such among his heirs.

The present and original appearance of the site of the Clow Rebellion was summarized in the US Department of the Interior, National Park Service, National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: The scene of Cheyney Clow's Rebellion is on two farms, very near the Maryland line, in Delaware's Kent County; both farms extend across the line into Maryland in Northern Queen Anne's County.

Nearby is the survey corner that in 1829 was described as being near the Cheyney Clow fort site.In 1829, while James E. B. Clark was assembling his farm, he bought a piece of land from John and Sophia Chase.

Documentary sources place Clow's fort on the site, although cursory archaeological surface collection has failed to reveal tangible evidence of its exact location.

Since scorching retards rot, and since logs in wet ground sometimes last many years, it is not surprising that part of the structure should have survived for half a century after 'the battle.The Statement of Significance of the Cheney Clough Rebellion site from the US Department of the Interior, National Park Service, National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form continues with: Cheney Clow's Fort site and the surrounding fields were the scene of Kent County, DE's only Revolutionary battle.

The character of the neighboring country has changed little since the Revolution.Cheyney Clow was a local eccentric who obtained a British commission and raised a force of Tories along the western boundary of Delaware.

Charles Pope was sent to put down the rebellion, and camped with his Delaware militia at Grogtown (now Kenton, DE).

Two days later, he informed Rodney that he had ordered "militia from the Head of Chester to join me at Marches Quarter within one-mile and a half of their fortress."

In 1782, a warrant was issued for Clow's arrest on charges of treason, and the sheriff of Kent County, Delaware was sent to take him in custody.

The circumstances surrounding Cheyney Clow's last ten years serve to emphasize Kent County's indifferent support of the Revolutionary cause.Archaeological exploration, to determine the exact fort site, would be desirable.After Cheney Clow was hung, most of his children stayed in the Northern Queen Anne's County, Maryland and Kent County, Delaware area, raised families and lived their lives passing from generation to generation until the present day.

One of Cheney's children, his Son, Joshua, left the Maryland and Delaware area, changed the spelling of the name to Clough and moved West to the Ohio Valley.

Documents show a marriage certificate of Joshua Clough and Sarah Walker being married in Kent County, Delaware, on October 2, 1794, and they had a son, Edward, who was born in 1794 in Virginia.

Joshua Clow died in Harrison County, Ohio, where a large contingent of descendants still reside.

In 1969, the same newspaper published a photograph of five generations of Cheney Clow's descendants sitting together on a park bench.

Forty-one-year-old Charles F. "Buck" Clough Jr. was hailed as a hero, made national news and his accident and death has had a profound effect on the small, tight-knit farming community.

Cheney Clow's descendants suffered another terrible blow in the last part of 2009 when Nelson H. "Dickie" Clough of Millington, Maryland died on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2009.
