Family History - Vaughan/Vaughn
We know very little about our Vaughans. What I have found, I have had to piece together with the help of records and other researchers. The first of our Vaughan ancestors to come to Mississippi was John Bradford Vaughan, born 10 April, 1760 in Northhampton County, NC. John died in 1851 in Mobile County, AL. He married first to Sarah Gayle Singleton, daughter of Robert Singleton and Sarah Gayle. He married second Winnie Elizabeth Harrell Daughdrill, widow of John Daughdrill, of Greene County, MS. John and Sarah were the parents of 7 children:
Elizabeth, married Laughlin McKay
John Singleton, married Letitia Miller
Beverly (male)
Robert
Vincent
Henry A., married Elizabeth Ann McManus
Matthew James, married Selitia Ann Denmark
Henry A. Vaughan, born about 1805 in SC married Elizabeth Ann McManus about 1829 in Jackson County, MS. She was the daughter of Archibald McManus and Rebecca Osena Collins. They are listed on the 1830 Census for that county. They weree in Hinds County by 1840 and remained there as late as 1855. They were in Franklin County, MS by 1860. Henry and Elizabeth had 9 children:
William Sidney, married Margaret A. East
John Lewis,
James Andrew,
Robert Singleton,
Sarah Rebecca "Sally", married Lewis Gest
Archibald McManus, married Almarinda Kinnison
Louise Elizabeth, married Dr. John Patterson Wise
Mary Ann married Joel J. East (brother of Margaret A. East )
Henry A. Vaughn, Jr.
Archibald McManus Vaughan, our great-great grandfather was born in 1841 and served during the Civil War. (See the Civil War page for more info.) He returned from the war and married Almarinda Kinnison Shaw, a widow with two small sons, on July 9, 1867 in Copiah County, MS. Their only child, Archibald David Vaughan, was born June 15, 1868 in Brookhaven, MS in what was then Lawrence County, now Lincoln County. Almarinda died when A.D. (as he was commonly called) was about 1 year old. He was raised by his father's sister, Louise Elizabeth Vaughan Wise and her husband, Dr. John Patterson Wise. His father died when he was about 8 years old so we knew very little about the Vaughan family.
