J. V. WITT, 12 Goodwin Rd, Newport News, VA 23606 who is preparing a history of the 10th
AR Infantry (CSA) writes of a Capt. EDMOND VAUGHAN who was chosen by the men of his
unit as the Regimental Commander with the rank of Lt. Colonel. During tho seige of Port Hudson,
in LA, he assumed command of the regiment when COL. A. R. WITT and a number of his men
were captured in May 1363. After their surrender at Port Hudson, Lt- Col. Vaughan and other
officers were transported to a prison at Johnson's Island in Ohio. Also at Johnaon's Island was a
Capt. M- H. VAUGHAN. Col. Witt has a photograph of Lt. Col. Vaughan, taken in civilian
clothing attar the surrender of Port Hudson. He would also appreciate having any more information
on Vaughans or others who served in the 10th Arkansas,
VAUGHN BRYANT, Rt 19, Box 253, Hot Springs Nati Park, AR 71913 gava me a laugh when
he 'bragged' that his ancestor THOMAS VAUGHAN, (see June 1986 Newsletter) was "smart"
enough to never arise above private but faithfully served for 41 months guarding prisoners. No hero-
"but he survived! (Guess everyone can't descend from tho decorated heroes[) Vaughn's letters are
a real pleasure. He hopes to trace Thomas' family back from his birth in Albemaria Co VA, ca l756—
and also to find where Thomas and wife Abigail settled near Crab Orchard.
