Notes for Samuel Lemuel Vaughan:
Information from Patricia J. Treadwell is main source of Samuel,also
known as Lemuel Vaughan.Her initial information came from one of George
Washington Vaughan's daughters,Mildred Vaughan Bouton.The date of
Mildred's handwritten letters not exactly known,but Mildred was born in
1867 and died in 1952. Patricia Treadwell has copies of the letters.Here
is some of what Mildred wrote.
Grandfather Lemuel Vaughan married Mildred Thomas as 1st wife against
wishes of her father. Married 2nd Rebecca? By his first wife who was my
grandmother he had two sons.
1.William Lewis Vaughan born August 19,1811 died June 29,1845 buried Old
Cemetery at Murfreesboro,Tennessee....
2.George Washington Vaughan(my father) born in Mecklenburg County,Va Oct
20,1816 married 1st Miss Matilda Wheeler at New Market,Alabama who lived
only a short time and died without issue. Married second Mary Marion
Pettipool(P'Pool)(my mother)Jan. 6,1847 at New Market,Alabama Madison
County. Moved to Tippah County,Miss and settled five miles east of Salem
on farm in sections 13 and 14 Township 3 range 1 east in 1848. Issue six
boys and five girls. Benton County was formed from Tippah and Marshall in
1870 and the home was then at the same place but known as 1 mile east of
Ashland in Benton Co.,Mississippi He and his wife are buried in private
graveyard which was center of the garden,known as Vaughan graveyard and
quarter of an acre of land was reserved for graveyard when place was sold
and belongs to his daughter Mrs. W.P. Bouton nee Mildred Thomas Vaughan.
He enlisted in Confederate cause at Holly Springs,Mississippi,Col. Sam
Bentons Mississippi Regiment. Sam Mayer Drill Master and W.C. Porterfield
comrade,discharged on account aggravated sore eyes(in information given
me by W.C. Portersfield of Potts camp,Mississippi
William and George ran away from their home being predudiced against
their stepmother when very small boys and followed a movers wagon over
the mountains to their maternal grandfather Thomas.When they reached his
home he was on his death bed and had made his will leaving to the two
boys one dollar each,and they never saw him alive. I do not know the
given name of my greatgrandfather Vaughan or Thomas.
Will later found in Rutherford County Courthouse,John Thomas named in his
will,William and George Washington Vaughan as sons of his deceased
daughter Mildred Vaughan,one dollar each. He died 1828.
She also writes of the Pettipool family. Basically that is what she wrote
down about the Vaughan's. I have not located a marriage for a Lemuel/
Samuel Vaughan to a Rebecca??Not known if they stayed in Mecklenburg or
moved elsewhere. Mildred Thomas Vaughan's gravesite unknown. Her death
between 1816 when George Washington Vaughan born and 1828 when her father
John Thomas died.
There are deeds in Mecklenburg Co.,Virginia courthouse for a Lemuel,but not for
a Samuel. Note, found in courthouse records that Lemuel and Samuel same
person, now can enter more info on Lemuel Vaughan-Nov. 2002.
Marriage Notes for Samuel Vaughan and Mildred Thomas:
Based on bondsman of the marriage,John Cheatham-who was first husband of
Samuel's sister,Nancy,I think that Mildred Thomas/Samuel Vaughan marriage
listed is the correct one for my family. Will continue to research for
more evidence.Source for marriage is 1765-1853 Marriage Bonds of
Mecklenburg Co.,Virginia which list the marriage bond between Samuel Vaughan
and Mildred Thomas on 1 Jan 1811 and bondsman as John Cheatham.
Children of Samuel Vaughan and Mildred Thomas are:
18 i. William Lewis3 Vaughan, born August 19, 1811 in
Mecklenburg county,Virginia; died June 29, 1845 in Murfreesboro,Tennessee.
