Notes - Hi Mike,
Ann Gough was the daughter of Stephen Gough (1742-1796) and wife, Ann (d. 1812). More in a minute.
The information you were provided on Ellen Gough is wrong. Dr. William
Joseph Edelen was married twice. His first wife was Eleanor "Ellen" Leigh
(1810-5/4/1845), daughter of Arnold Livers Leigh and Elizabeth F. Fenwick.
That's the marriage that occurred on January 23, 1827. Ellen Leigh died May
4, 1845 and then Dr. Edelen married Ellen Gough on February 5, 1850 in
Baltimore. Ellen Gough (12/17/1816-10/28/1895) was the daughter of Peter
Gough and his second wife, Ann Dixon and she was the granddaughter of
Stephen Gough and wife, Ann. Therefore, Ann Gough was the aunt of Ellen
Gough. Richard J. Edelen (husband of Ann Gough) was the father of William
Joseph Edelen (husband of Ellen Gough), by his first wife, Clara Ford, also
of St. Mary's County.
Ellen Leigh Edelen was the daughter of Ellen Gough. Her husband's full name
was Joseph Francis Ignatius Morgan, son of Joseph F. Morgan and Catherine
Abell. Joseph Francis Ignatius Morgan died July 15, 1905. They say he was
born in Morganza, but he was more than likely born in Leonardtown as his
father was an innkeeper there.
I just realized I didn't answer your question about Peter Gough. Here's what I have:

I think them an additional number, joining the fleet in that river.” The following is a copy of a note, received by captain Boyle, from Clifton’s factory, situated about 4 miles from the enemy, received by one of his officers, sent to gather information:
> “From intelligence received this morning, July 17, there are at anchor opposite Major Somersell’s, 20 miles up the Potowmac, three 74’s; one at the mouth of St. Mary’s Rivers; two frigates at the mouth of Wycomoco River; three brigs, tenders and barges gone up the Potowmac. And one sloop of war at Blackstone’s Island, which the enemy have possession of, as also Cheseldine’s Bond’s and St. George’s Islands. No landing has been attempted yet on the main. The enemy are said to have been sounding the St. Mary’s River. P Gough, Clifton’s Ferry.”

The enemy lost 12 men killed, and did not succeed in taking the boat. “It is reported that Kingsale, at the head of Wicomico, is burnt.” Ref: Baltimore Patriot
