The family sailed across the Bay to Galveston each Sunday to church at St. Mary's Cathedral where the
baptismal records for Henry Lewis and Alyce (?) are on file.
Sometime prior to 1895, Daniel Rooke Vaughn and family left Galveston Co.
and relocated in Corpus
Christi, Tx. Daniel Rooke Vaughn built and ran a hotel in Corpus which subsequently burned. All the
family papers and photos, except the family bible (belongs to Ann Etie - she has willed it to a nephew)
were lost in the fire.
He also built a ship while there named the Vyla Vaughn.
Daniel Rooke and Annie Vaughn later moved to Del Rio where some of the children
were married. They
then settled in San Antonio, Tx where they lived
at 201 Devine, Ward 7.
The eldest son, Henry Lewis, mustered into Co E, 1st Texas Infantry from
Corpus on 1 may 1898 as a
Quartermaster Sgt. He was sent to Cuba serving
as a cook and mustered out in Galveston in 1899. His
