BARBARA EBY, 1660 SW Advance Rd, West Lynn, OR 97068 saw my query in the
April DAR magazine and wrote, "I need some Vaughan Roots, and
here is what I have." As I looked at her very scanty information, I
realized that here was one of the children of my ancestor THOMAS VAUGHAN
(son of the above James, b. 1767). My great gr-father ROBERT YOUNG VAUGHAN
& her great gr-mother NANCY EMMA VAUGHAN DENTON, were bro and sis!
Barbara has collected much material on her Denton side but had almost nothing
on the Vaughans. She wrote that this was only the
2nd time she had responded to a magazine inquiry! Those of us who have
written dozens of queries, letters, etc., know how lucky she was" So, if
you descend from THOMAS VAUGHAN who m. LEAH McCARTY (as well as the above
James, etc.), you have a row cousin! Welcome!
WILLIAM BOWEN, 2584 Fenwick Rd, University Heights, OH 44118 wrote that his
grmother was JESSIE EDITH VAUGHN, b Manuta, OH, 1886. Her father was
SAMUEL PETER VAUGHAN, b 1854, to TRUMAN VAUGHAN, b. 1808, and his second
wife SALLY JUDSON. He also mentioned a CALEB VAUGHN. b 1796, d 1890,
m. POLLY KING. They seem to have lived in the Maine and Vermont
areas.
CHARLES & EMMA BRASHEAR. 303 Knox St, Abingdon. IL 61410 sent a
family sheet for MIKE VAUGHN & FRANCIS NAZWORTHY, possibly b in TN.
Emma descends from the son RICHARD b 1824, m. NANCY POWELL. Other
children were MARY CATHERINE b 1830, m. WARREN POWELL; MICHAEL b 1835,
m. ELIZABETH MULHOLLAND; ABNER b 1838.
LYN & MALINDA GAMELSON, Rt 3, Box 776, Rogersville. MO 65742 have
had little success in their search on the Vaughn-Bookout connections (see
Nov. 86 issue); but recently located the
marriage license between JOHN BOOKOUT & SALLY VAUGHAN, dated 20 Mar 1807
in Knox Co TN. JOHN BOOKOUT & JOHN VAUGHAN (by mark) signed the
agreement for John Bookout to marry Sally (also known as Sarah) Vaughan.
How was this John Vaughan related to Sally? Also located is an affidavit
of heirs for JOHN BOOKOUT, Webster Co MO, dated Feb 1858, stating that he
died 20 Nov 1857. Among the heirs is listed LAVINA VOUN living in Webster
Co MO. She was
b 5 Aug 1829 in KY and m 1855 to JAMES VAUGHAN (b AL). They were married
in MO, prob. Webster Co, by JAMES BRAZEAL. She d. 1863. The family was on
the 1860 Benton Twp, Christian Co MO census as JAMES VAUGHAN 43 from AL,
LAVINA 30 from KY, WILLIAM 9, HIRAM 8, DELILA 4, and JOHN 2. The Gamelsons
wonder if there is any connection between these two Vaughans.
In response to my question if they also had ROLLER connections, they wrote
that there is an indirect connection by marriage in that JOHN BOOKOUT m.
SALLY VAUGHAN, and their grandson JAMES MARION BOOKOUT m AMANDA JANE ROLLER.
Anyone with BOOKOUT or WOOLSEY families, write to -Lyn and Malinda.
