WILLIAM BIEWENER, 410 Valencia Ave, Bur-bank, CA 91506 sent a copy of G.T. RIDLON'S
extracts on THE VAUGHAN FAMILY taken from SACO VALLEY SETTLEMENTS AND
FAMILIES. This book begins "This distinguished family is of Welsh origin and of great antiquity, the
first to be mentioned being SIR GEORGE VAUGHAN, of Glamorganshire, in Wales. .The Vaughans
of Maine and New Hampshire begin as follows:
GEORGE VAUGHAN, bapt. Sept. 10, 1615; m. MARY BOXALL, and d. April 15, 1696. The
last mentioned is ELLIOT G. VAUGHAN, b. 1775 in Scarborough, ME, and d. 1861. Names
of many in the families are listed. Contact me if interested. Include SASE.

REUBIN VAUGHN Washington THOMAS VAUGHN Cooper

NANCY VAUGHAN New Madrid REUBEN VAUGHN Crawford
He also included a fact sheet about the town of Vaughn, NM which was named after Major G.W.
VAUGHN, a Civil Engineer, who was an engineer with the Santa Fe Railway System. William
wonders if anyone knows anything about this man.
CHRISTINE CONRAD and husband, after many years of moving around for business reasons,
have "settled down" at 516 East 9th Street, Chandler, OK 74834. She descends from Allen Vaughan
(b. 1795), son of James Vaughan (b. 1767), and brother of my ancestor Thomas who was County
Clerk of McMinn Co TN.

ROBERT DRENNAN, 5310 Fleetwood Oaks #233. Dallas, TX 75235 has a copy of the
marriage certificate of JAMES PARKS KINSEYtoFRANCES CHISM, Jan. 28, 1842,
Rappahannock Co, VA. On the back on the certificate is the statement, "Frances Chism-widow
and relief of Henry Chism, deceased." A copy of their daughter's death certificate shows that her
mother's name was FRANCES VAUGHAN CHISM. In that same county another of Robert's
ancestors was MARIE ALICE GARNER NEWLON who m. 1896 a SILAS VAUGHAN. He
is wondering if somehow these two "Vaughans" could have been related. One of Silas's nephews
was SAINT VAUGHAN, who resided in Burlington, IA.
PHARO OSBORN, P.O. Box 183. Prospect. OH 43342 has Vaughan connections: WALTER T.
OSBURN, m. MARTHA VAUGHAN, b. 1846 in Mayne Co VA, and d 1942, Wayne Co WVA.
