Syr Richard Clough - ‘Y Gðr Mwyaf Cyflawn’ |
 |
 © Dr Robin Gwyndaf, Amgueddfa Bywyd Cymreig | Cafodd Clough ddwy ferch gyda Catrin, Anne (a aned ym 1568), a etifeddodd Bach-y-graig, a Mary (a anwyd ym 1569). Etifeddodd Mab Clough 'a aned dramor', Plas Clough, a bu Cloughs yn byw yno hyd y seithfed genhedlaeth. Roedd ganddo nifer o ddisgynyddion enwog, yn fwyaf nodedig y bardd Fictorianaidd - Arthur Hugh Clough, a Syr Clough Williams-Ellis - lluniwr Portmeirion (a welir yn ein Archif).
Dywedodd yr hanesydd o'r 19eg ganrif, John Williams, bod Clough wedi 'codi ei hun drwy gyfrwng ei rinweddau o fod yn fachgen tlawd yn Ninbych i fod yn un o fasnachwyr mwyaf ei gyfnod'.
Yn fwy na masnachwr llwyddiannus, roedd enw da Clough yn cwmpasu diddordeb gweithredol mewn pensaernïaeth, seryddiaeth a chartograffeg. Roedd ei weithgareddau 'llai iachusol' yn llwyddo i gynyddu, yn hytrach na thynnu oddi wrth y ddelwedd o’r 'dyn cyfan', lle roedd ychydig ysbïo, cannu arian a smyglo yn ychwanegu ar y chwedl ramantus; Richard Clough, o bosibl y dyn rhyngwladol o ddirgelwch gwreiddiol.
