JAMES VAUGHAN b. Feb. 10, 1781, Mecklenburg Co.,
Va.
His first wife was Nancy Hatchett (b. Dec. 1786
Charlotte Co.,
Va.) Her parents were Thomas and Nancy Hatchett.
Her
brothers were Archer and Hainey Hatchett.
James and Nancy were reared in their native state
also m there.
In 1811 they removed to Murfreesboro, Tenn. where
he served
in the war of 1812. In Tenn. he kept hotel for
sometime. He
boarded representatives to the legislature. . .Mr.
Vaughan
followed farming and superintended the construction
of some
of the Turnpikes that enter Murfreesboro and was
a man of
learning and ability and considerable note, also
in official life
for sometime. (Both buried McCoy cemetery east
of the Ozarks?)
FROM MARY GREGG:
Child #1, James Vaughan. Most of the information
given for
James seems to have come from a biographical sketch
of
Granville H. Vaughan in A REMINISCENT HISTORY OF
THE OZARK REGION published by the Goodspeed Company
in 1894. This article states that Granville H.
was born in
Rutherford County, Tennessee, in 1831, the son
of "James and
Nancy (Hatchett) Vaughan, natives of the Old Dominion,
the
former born in Mecklenburg..." There is no evidence
that I
know of that David and Catherine (Anderson) Vaughan
ever
were in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and, in fact,
there is
every reason to suppose that in 1780 (the time
of James' birth)
they were living in Amelia County, so if it is
correct that James
was born in Mecklenburg, then it is almost certain
that he was
not the son of David and Catherine (Anderson) Vaughan.

FROM MARY GREGG: Child #2,

Edith Gunn
in Amelia County in 1778. If, in fact, a Willis
W. Vaughan who
was born in 1788 died in Rutherford County, Tennessee,
in 1861,
it certainly was not the man who married Edith
Gunn.

FROM MARY GREGG:
Child #3, Pleasant Vaughan, born 1793, died after

VIRGINIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY, Vol.
19, No. 1, January-March 1981, there is a transcription
of a statement made in 1882 by T. D. Jessup of
Mecklenburg
County, Virginia, who said that Pleasant Vaughan
was born in Nottoway County in 1793. Apparently this is the Pleasant listed
on the FGS as a child of David and Catherine. Since
I think
that David and Catherine were living in Nottoway
County at
that time, possibly they were Pleasant's parents.
However,
notice that the "wrong" David, i.e. one who died
in Lunenburg
in 1825, had a son named Pleasant, who could be
the one born
in Nottoway in 1793.

When the referenced FGS
was first published I puzzled over it,
trying to construct a scenario to explain all the
mistakes I knew
or suspected that it contains. The strangest aspect
of it is that
much of the information about each child attributed
to David
Vaughan and Mary Catherine Anderson, is correct
in and of
itself as it pertains to that particular individual,
but, in fact, I
believe, these individuals probably are neither
offspring of
David and Mary Catherine nor siblings to each other.
I finally
decided that this family group sheet must be the
product of a
sort of "genealogy by committee" except that more
than likely
the individuals making up the "committee" didn't
know they
were members. In other words, I think someone took
snippets
of largely correct information from a variety of
sources and
put them together in an incorrect way. (MY
COMMENTS )
DAVID VAUGHAN and MARY CATHERINE ANDERSON
David Vaughan - Born 1750 in Culpeper Co., Va.;
baptized
1760 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va.; died
ca 1825
in Lunenburg Co., Va.
Mary Catherine Anderson, born 1748, sixth child
of John
Anderson.
From Mary Gregg: My correspondent also enclosed
a photo-
copy of a sheet of neatly typed notes with the
following
information, for which she made no attribution,
so probably
they were her own notes. Around the last two sentences
of the
following paragraph, she had drawn a red line,
and had writte ,
also in red, "Wrong David Vaughan." to indicate
that the David Vaughan whose will is dated 8-22-1825 in Lunenburg Co.,
Va.
is not the one described in the rest of the paragraph.
Below is
the information to which I just referred; I have
enclosed in
brackets the "last two sentences" which she indicated
to be
"the wrong David Vaughan":
FROM CORRESPONDENT'S NOTES:
DAVID VAUGHAN b. 1750 Culpepper Co., Va. and baptized
2-17-1760 at Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va. He served
in Captain Reuben Lipscomb's Company of the 7th
Virginia
Regiment of Foot Soldiers commanded by Col. Alexander
McCleandon in the Revolutionary War. He joined
a company
of Virginia Riflemen that made a forced march of
21 days to
(Mars) at Bunker Hill in 1787. David lived in Dinwiddie
Co.,
Va. When he came back from the war he settled down
in
Fauquier Co. He married Mary Catherine Anderson
in 1780.
She was b. 1748 and was the sixth child of Jordan
Anderson
born 1700 in England and who came to America in
1733.
[David's will was dated 8-22-1825 and son Willis Vaughan was
named
executor of the will (will in Lunenburg Co., Va.) There were
seven
children.]
FROM MARY GREGG:
It is in these notes that I find the statements
about David
Vaughan's places of birth and baptism, both of
which I think
are wrong. For one thing, it simply doesn't make
sense that a
child born in Culpeper County would have been baptized
ten
years later in Gloucester County, unless the parents
had settled
in Gloucester County, and there is no reason to
think that that
is what happened with David Vaughan's parents.
The reason it doesn't seem reasonable to me is
that
(1) Culpeper County at that time had churches of
its own in
which a child could have been christened, and
(2) geographically, Culpeper to Gloucester would
be counter
to the general trend of migration - Certainly not
impossible,
but not usual.
But besides common sense and intuition, I have proof
of the
existence of a David Vaughan in that part of Amelia
which
became Nottoway, and I have proof of him in Nottoway
with
a wife named Catherine, and I have proof from Nottoway
County records of the marriage (at unknown date,
bur prior
to 1815) of David Vaughan and aty Anderson. [Nottoway
County records will be posted below.
Additional evidence pointing to an Amelia County
background
for these people is found on the Anderson side
of the family.
In the notes mentioned above, it is stated that
Mary Catherine
Anderson was "the sixth child of John Anderson,
who was the
fourth child of Jordan Anderson born 1700 in England
and
who came to America in 1733." I found a Jordan
Anderson
mentioned in Amelia County records, though he seems
eventually to have settled in Cumberland County.
He was the
son of James Anderson who was the son of Thomas
Anderson
of Prince George and Surry Counties. I doubt that
Jordan was
born in England, but it would not be unusual for
a latter-day descendant to identify incorrectly the immigrant generation
of
his/her ancestry.I believe that probably this Amelia-Cumberland
Jordan Anderson was, indeed, the grandfather of
Catherine
who married David Vaughan. It is also in the notes
that I find
the statement, "David's will was dated 8-22-1825
and son Willis Vaughan was named executor of the will (will in Lunenburg
Co. Va.) There were seven children." My correspondent
had
circled this statement and had written, in red,
"Wrong David 'Vaughan." I nevertheless looked up an abstract of the 1825
Lunenburg County will of David Vaughan and found that the
children he named were: Willis, Baalam, Pleasant,
Robert,
James, Mary (married PERKINS)
and Elizabeth (married CLARK).
What I think happened that resulted in the compiling
of the
FGS we are studying is that someone has an ancestor
with one
of these names, and that he searched around until
he found a
will (David's in Lunenburg) listing a legatee with
the name in
which he is interested. That having found the will,
he then set
about tracing down the children named in the will
and found
persons with some of the names - James, Willis,
Pleasant and
Elizabeth, and just arbitrarily assigned them to
the David who
made the will. In at least two of the four (Willis
and Elizabeth),
I know he was wrong, and he may have been wrong
about
James, too:

BIBLE RECORDS
James Anderson Bible Submitted by John Hale Stutesman
James Anderson, born 3 March 1803 in Chesterfield
County,
Virginia, died 14 July 1860 in Union Parish, Louisiana,
wrote an extensive "Family Record" in his Holy
Bible, which,
he noted, had been "Given to James Anderson by
his Father,
Thomas." (a)
That record opened with a dramatic description:
'Great
Grandfather of James Anderson on foregoing page
an
Englishman, left school on account of scant diet
& migrated
to America"
That man, also a "James" Anderson, married Mary
Jordan
before July 1715 when "George Jordan Senr. &
Mary his
wife of Surry County, Virginia" conveyed land to
"Mary
Anderson, wife of James Anderson of Surry County."
(b) He prospered there, married a second wife,
Rebecca
Cook(c) and signed his will there in January 1750/51.(d)
His great grandson takes up this tale:
'His sons Ist by Miss Jourdan:
Thomas (b) lived in Dinwiddie county Va.
Jourdan (c) " " Chesterfield "

The lives of Jordan and Mary (Watkins) Anderson,
her lineage,
and their childrens' lives are recounted in much
detail in my
book, SOME WATKINS FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA AND
THEIR KIN...(Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1989) The
accuracy
of the Bible record is substantiated by the official
records that
Edward Anderson married Susannah Oliver in 1775
in Sussex
County, Virginia; Charles Anderson made bond in
Cumberland County, Virginia, in 1789 for his marriage to Anna Allen;
James Anderson made bond in Charlotte County, Virginia,
in
1785 for his marriage to Susannah Brown; David
Anderson
married Lucy Horsley in 1785 in Prince Edward County,
Virginia; "Doctor" Anderson died unmarried in 1785
in
Chesterfield County, Virginia; Jordan Anderson
made bond
in 1785 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, for his
marriage to
Margaret Eater; Nathan Anderson made bond in Chesterfield
County, Virginia, in 1785 for his marriage to Marianna
Mayo.
The Bible record continues:
(c) Jourdan [Anderson] his Wife [was] Mary Watkins
daughter
of Edward Watkins of Powhattan, Va. his [Jordans]
mother
[was] his father's Ist wife [who] was a Miss Jourdan.

[A handwritten note then states: This Book Given to James Anderson

He then concentrated on his own family:

Editor's Note: There are additional children and
deaths
recorded in the above Bible.
These are notably the children from the first marriage
of
P. N. Beall (widow Gardner), wife of James Anderson,
and
the death dates of several Anderson descendants
following
the death of James Anderson in 1860. Much of this
is illegible.
additional note:
I believe that I might have confused some people
when I wrote
of the published belief that David Vaughan was
born in
Culpeper County, but baptized 10 years later in
Abingdon
Parish, Gloucester County. The purpose of this
note is to make
it clear that I was writing about Abingdon PARISH,
located in Gloucester COUNTY, which is a county located between the
York and Rappahannock Rivers, and on the eastern
coast of
Virginia. It should not be confused with the TOWN
of Abingdon, Virginia, which is the county seat of Washington County in
south -western Virginia. The two - Abingdon Parish and the town of
Abingdon - are not the same thing and are not even
near each
other.
Any questions, suggestions, corrections
and/or additional information,
contact me Linda CONAWAY Welden at:
