SHERWOOD VAUGHAN in the family line. She keeps hoping for more facts about her own
SHERWOOD -- the only one mentioned as yet in the Newsletter. He was the father of JOHN
GEORGE VAUGHAN who married NANCY MATLOCK in 1827 in Washington Co TN.
JENNINGS VAUGHAN, 540 h'elody lane Richardson, TX 75081 called niy attention to
the mis-type I did with his telephone number in the November 1987 issue, p. 5. It should be
(214) 235-3946. Did anyone have clues to his family line as presented in that issue? He hopes
someone will help tie his meager facts together into a firm faintly history.

GA and then to Dale Co AL and then on to Euchee Valley, V Walton Co FL. As the youngest

Information on the following Vaughan family, although they are not of his line, but are friends of his

Are you familiar with the 5-Volume set of THE TENNESSEE CIVIL WAR VETERANS
QUESTIONNAIRES compiled by Dyer and Moore, printed 1985? Marvelous information-Is
given by the veterans of that war as they still remembered it in the early 1900's.Using the index, I
found reference to three of my ancestor HENRY PORTER baker's brothers who fought for the
South. I also found my gr-grfa ISAAC SPARKMAN. They were dead before the questionnaires
were collected, but their names Were mentioned by friends who remembered having served together.
This was the first indication that I had of their service. In fact I had assumed that the BAKER family
supported the Union as their father named one of his sons Ulysses S. after the end of the war. But I
still haven't found any record of my HENRY PORTER baker's service --or non service. But I know
definitely that my great grandfather ROBERT YOUNG VAUGHAN, although living in Polk Co TN,
was a Union sympathizer and assisted that cause. He was distressed to see the Union divided. So there
were many sides to that war.
