VERIEL. WILSON, 12413 Cambridge Blvd. South Lyon. MI 48178 has learned a little more about
her ancestor WILLIAM VAUGHAN, b 1818, Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co KY.Veriel sent for the
marriage certificate of William and his second wife (whom he married late in life). As she is descended
from the first wife, she never thought about there being information on a later marriage certificate that
would help In the search. But it contained the name of William's parents—MALACHI (MALAKI) &
Nancy T. This confirmed information given to her by a cousin 4 tiaes removed that she had discovered
by an ad in the GENEALOGICAL HELPER. The cousin's grandmother's diary had said his name was
Malachi—then the marriage application proved it. Apparently William never left KY, even though
Veriel cannot find a trace of hr in court house records. But his oldest son NEWMAN VAUGHN went
to Bond Co, IL.
MARGARET WONDERLEIGH. 647 Orange St. Chmicothe. OH 45601 hopes to find others
researching this family.She has more data (from pension records) on so-e of the children who went to
the Nashville, TN area .
