WAYNE COUNTY, KENTUCKY

VAUGHN FAMILY

Sons and Daughters of James Vaughan and John Vaughan

John Vaughan and James Vaughan, roughly the same age, both started paying taxes in Wayne, KY in 1811/1813. They married there in 1811 and 1812. They continued to pay taxes through at least 1851 (when I stopped abstracting). During the same time it looks like almost all of the tax digests and marriages belong to them or their children.


Reuben Vaughan pays taxes 1809-1811; and Stephen Vaughan pays taxes 1810-1811. Thereafter, they both disappear. A random Stephen Vaughan appears in 1820 and 1823, when neither John or James is old enough to be their parent.


Later, it appears John and James each name a son Stephen, so that name is significant.


I am writing this in the hopes that someone out there has a bible record or any other proof to better tie down these two family groups. David Robertson Sep 2020. davidhr@hushmail.com
