ReplyDeleteDo you have ANY information about why William Vaughan and Edy Matlock left their children (James William, Seth, and John) to be raised by his brother John and her sister Nancy? There are conflicting reports; some saying he died in 1871 and is buried beside his brother; another that he died in 1846 and that his estate was left to the children, but it is not online. James William was my great grandfather. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDon't have much i wish i could send you pictures of my family history book it tells a little about them
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your quick response. Please let me know if I might have any research that might help you! On another note, I do websites for several local volunteer groups, and I use JING to copy snippets of information. It is free to download and will copy anything into a png file.
ReplyDeletei dont know why this little detail bothers me ..... I guess I just want them to have been one happy family!!!!
Hi Linda, I also do websites nonprofits. I hope that the three of us can work together to find the best documentation to solve this puzzle. Linda, you can contact me at cyndycox@gmail.com and Tim, I hope you will contribute what you know as well.
ReplyDeleteHello, William R.(Russell) Vaughan buried in Leota, Mo is my GGGG Grandfather. I think he was a union vet. I’ve got a lot of this info posted on ancestry. I have no info, not even oral tradition as my grandfather died before I was born in 1985.
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant I’ve got a lot the info leading to William R. Vaughan, but then it just drops off. Thanks!
DeleteJesse all i know is he was my G.G.G.grandpa's brother my history book only goes on my side after that. My email is vaughan.tim59@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of information about William and John George, sons of Sherwood, I believe. (Based on a will, and other tidbits.) I believe Sherwood to be the son of Claiborne, but there are many Claibornes, and I cannot confirm that. My email is lvrowntree@gmail.com. I would love to share what I know and pick your brains about this.....
ReplyDeleteClaiborne Vaughan, Sr. had 4 sons, Sherwood William, John George and Claiborne Vaughan, Jr.
DeleteClaiborne St. was a Surgeon mate in the American Rev. War and served under George Baylor in his Lie Dragoons
