Alfaretta (variously spelled) Clute is apparently a single woman of about 26 or 27 at this time, living in Newburgh with her parents. But they had lived in Glenville previous to this time, so perhaps that is how the Clossons knew them. In the Closson Genealogy, the writer makes mention of a Clute family who were very early settlers to the Providence area and he goes on to say that there were two Clutes, Jacob and Gershom, who lived at the time of the genealogy's writing (1950) in Providence, NY. And since one of Alfaretta's brothers is named Jacob, these may be the people mentioned in the Genealogy and by Stanford in his diary entry.
Here is a picture of Alfaretta Clute, taken from a family tree on ancestry.com.
According to that website, she eventually married a man by the name of Fisher, but unfortunately only lived to be 40 years old.
