James Vaughn was born in 1756.

He served as a Sergeant in the Virginia State Line and served a three-year term in the American Revolution.
On 15 November 15, 1786, he received land bounty warrant number 4228, entitling him to 200 acres of land for his patriotic service during the war. By 1810, James lived in Richmond, Virginia.

The Patriot died on 15 December 1830, and was buried in Richmond's Shockoe Hill Cemetery, where his gravestone lists his service as a Sergeant in the American Revolution. His name also appears on the Shockoe Hill Cemetery, Sons of the American Revolution memorial to Revolutionary War veterans.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
