Author: James English Vaughn, Jr.
Thomas Vaughan was born 03 Jun 1756 in Albemarle County, Virginia, and he died 27 Nov 1834 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln County, Kentucky. Thomas Vaughan married Abigail Franklin about 1780 in Albemarle County, Virginia, and Franklin died in 1811. Vaughan married for a second time to Sallie Farthing in Lincoln County, Kentucky, and Farthing died in 1846 at the age of 85 years. Thomas Vaughan served the term of three years as a “true and faithful” soldier in the First Regiment of Virginia under the command of Captain Angers Rucker during the American Revolutionary War. Thomas Vaughan and Abigail Franklin Vaughan had six children. Two of their sons, James (1782 – ?) and Thomas (1786 – 1856) moved from Lincoln County, Kentucky to Monroe County, Missouri in 1829. James brought his wife, Isabella Davis and their nine children with him to Missouri. Isabella rode all the way from Kentucky on horseback, carrying a baby on her lap. It appears that the younger Thomas Vaughan returned to Kentucky to raise his family. He and his wife, Elizabeth McWilliams Vaughan (1790 – 1853), had eleven children. After returning to Missouri, Thomas recorded a land transaction in Monroe County dated in July of 1849.
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.
