Note: This summary is not completely proven, except by circumstantial evidence. Some information has been gathered from www.familysearch.org without verification.

Editor’s Note: Many thanks to Denny Vaughan for this contribution. This summary is an incredible example of the difficulty of genealogy research. Here is a table of seven marriages between the Murphy family and the Vaughan family. All of the Murphy spouses are connected to Washington County, KY. Likewise, four of The Vaughan spouses are connected to Washington County, KY. One Vaughan spouse is connected to Garrard County, KY. There is no known connection between these two Vaughan families. There is conflicting information about which family the other two Vaughan spouses are connected to. There is some evidence to support either conclusion. David Robertson.
