Stephen Vaughan of Early North Carolina There are four Stephen Vaughan that appear in early NC. The first is Stephen Vaughan, Sr. All we know is that he lived adjacent to Stephen Vaughan, Jr. in 1760. He could be the father, uncle or and elder cousin to Stephen Vaughan, Jr. Likewise, we know very little about Stephen Vaughan, Jr., other than the fact he would have been born before 1740 in order to have been an adult by 1760. The third Stephen was b. 1760-1770 and d. in 1832 in Wake Co., NC. He first appears in Nash Co., NC in 1785 deed records along with Christopher Vaughan. Sometime between 1809 and 1812 he moved from Nash Co. to Wake Co., NC The fourth Stephen was b. abt. 1800 in Nash Co., NC and d. in 1878 in Overton, TN During early North Carolina, there were rapid changes in county boundaries which makes analysis a little tricky. In between the 1760s in Edgecombe Co. and 1785 in Nash County, there was a Stephen Vaughan in Johnston Co. 1779-1782. He could be from Edgecombe Co, or he could be the third Stephen from Nash Co. (if he was just a few years older). |
