WESLEY O'NEALL DICKS. 2006 Townevue Court. Augusta, GA 30904 descends from
ANTOINNE PELLETIER (from Nancy, France and fought under Napoleon) and a MISS
VAUGHN of VA. Their son ANDREW m. KATE KERNAGHAN of Hamburg SC. Other
children of Antoinne and Miss Vaughn were: WILLIAM, RICHARD, LAFAYETTE, LOUISE,
VIRGINIA, & CAROLINE. Wesley has no information whatsoever about the "Miss" Vaughn of
Virginia. However, her Grandfather took her mother on a trip to VA to meet and visit with some
of the relatives, undoubedly related to his mother's family. They were apparently cousins, namely:
LAURA CAMP who m. a Mr. SIGGINS (their children Bessie & Johnnie, and another daughter),
a11 of Richmond, VA. A cousin WILLIE CAMP of Petersburg, VA had children MARY,
JEFFERIES, ASHY, WILLIAM, & CHARLES. (I've included a11 these names, hoping they
will be a due to someone.vb)
REBECCA GUTIERREZ. Watergate Apts. 2 Commodore Dr. D-382. Emeryvilie. CA 94608
found the following in an old genealogy book (I wonder which one! vb):
JAMES PRINCE VAUGHAN (b 1829) wed MARY REBECCA ENGLEHART (2nd wife) in
1865. One of the 11 children was Rebecca's grandmother (a twin) BESSIE CLARE, b. 1880.
James Prince was one of 12 children born to SUSANNAH BUTCHER and ATWELL DANIEL
VAUGHAN (b 1796 in Magoffin Co KY). I hope Rebecca will send more information about this
family and the book where the material is printed. Please?

BRENDA TAYLOR. 8213 Hamilton. Overland Park, KS 66204 has a ques1;1on:She wrote
"I am descended from REBECCA ??who m. JOHN ROLLER and moved from Lee Co VA to
Barry Co MO ca1850. MABEL HARP (401 S. Powell, Wagoner, OK 74467) says that JOHN
VAUGHAN had a dau Rebecca b. 24 Jan 1802, who married a ROLLER. The tombstone for
my REBECCA ROLLER has her birthdate as 24 Jan 1801. Is it safe to assume that my Rebecca
is the dau/o John Vaughan? How may I find more supporting evidence?" She added that she is also
a descendant of JOHN ROGERS and ELIZABETH DECKARO of Hawkins/Hancock Counties,
TN. She believes one of John Vaughan's daughters married the brother of Elizabeth Deckard Rogers.
(When you start trying to match up these Vaughans, Rollers and Rogers, you are in for fun, fun!! Ask
Mabel Harp or Eula McNutt!!,P.O. Box 1092, Gate City VA 24251) If you are interested in the
Roller association, write Brenda.
