  [S100] Internet Source, http://www.vaughan-vaughn.org/mg-john-halifava.htm. Children of John S. Vaughan and Ann Stanfield: 1. (Col.) James Harrison Vaughan (born ca 1806 in Virginia; died in Smith County, Tennessee in 1879) married Eliza Ann (or Ann Eliza) Mitchell (born ca 1815 in Tennessee; predeceased her husband) daughter of Martha and Frederick Nance Mitchell. Eliza Ann's parents may have been the Frederick Nance Mitchell and Martha Perkins who married in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, November 8, 1799. In 1850, there was a Martha Mitchell, aged 69, living with James H. and Eliza (Mitchell) Vaughan, who quite probably was Martha (Perkins) Mitchell. Known children of James H. and Eliza Ann (Mitchell) Vaughan were: A Jennie Vaughan [Perhaps is same as Martha J.] married John P. Seay B. Victoria Vaughan (born 1846) married Charles F. Potter in Smith County, TN, March 20, 1868. C. Mary Frances Vaughan (born 1835) married, in Smith County, Tennessee, January 1, 1852, John Chambers Bridgewater. One source says that he "died before returning home from the Civil War." D. Martha J. Vaughan (born 1837) E. Leonard Vaughan (born 1846) F. William S. Vaughan (born 1850) G. James H. Vaughan, Jr., who may have married ________ McClellan James H. Vaughan made his will in Smith County, Tennessee, April 14, 1879, and added a codicil on April 16, 1879. It was proved in November 1879 and is recorded in Smith County Will Book 7. He mentions his daughter Jennie Seay [She must be the child called Martha J. in the census. Possibly her name was Martha Jane and she was called Jennie. mg] and grandsons Samuel C. Bridgewater, Harry V. Potter (Charles F. Potter guardian for his son), and granddaughter Mrs. Lucy Lovell. Executors: James H. Vaughan and Jennie Seay. Witnesses were J. G. Bold, A. A. Swope, and Charles Swope. 2. John S. Vaughan, Jr. had at least two daughters, for they were mentioned in their grandfather's will. There may have been others: A. Margaret Ann Vaughan B. Sally Banks Vaughan 3. Mildred Vaughan married, in Halifax County, Virginia, February 7, 1821, David Hemphill 4. Fanny Vaughan married (?William) Russell 5. Elizabeth Vaughan married ________ Harbour 6. Martha Vaughan married ________ Edwards. She may be the Martha Vaughan who married Liles/Lyles Edwards, son of Daniel and Dilly Edwards, in Granville County, North Carolina, February 20, 1812, with John Vaughan as bondsman. Liles Edwards' sister, Elizabeth Edwards, married a John Vaughan between November 17, 1813 and January 12, 1814. I once thought that perhaps the John Vaughan who married Elizabeth Edwards was John S. Vaughan, Jr., son of John S. Vaughan and Ann Stanfield, but a query posted to the VAUGHAN LIST gives Elizabeth Edwards' husband's name as John D. Vaughan, and a list of their children which does not include either Margaret Ann or Sally Banks Vaughan, known children of John S. Vaughan, Jr. There does, however, seem to be some hint of a connection between the North Carolina Edwards family and some of the Halifax County, Virginia, Vaughans. For instance, on February 5, 1791, (Halifax Co., Va. (DB 15:195) a James Vaughan bought 200 acres of land on Burches Creek in Halifax from Thomas, James and Archibald Douglas, and Rosey Edwards, sister of the above mentioned Liles Edwards, married an Archibald Douglas. 7. Henry Banks Vaughan. One Henry B. Vaughan married Martha C. Campbell in Wilson County, Tennessee, in 1847, and they may be the following couple found in the 1850 census of Sumner County, Tennessee, p. 327/506: H. B, Vaughan 53 Virginia Martha 33 Tennessee L.

Vaughan, Inf son of H. B. and Phebe Vaughan 20 Oct 1867-1 Feb 1868 [Obviously not the same person who is in the 1850 census, but perhaps the son or nephew of the 1850 person.] Henry Banks Vaughan. 5 Dec 1837 - 3 Oct 1872 Lucillius Winchester Vaughn.

Ayres, 3000 Susquehanna Lane, Austin, Texas, 78723, has written us additional information about the people whose tombstones were copied by Robert Y. Clay and published in Vol. 21, 1974... His script is quoted below. "Mr. John P. Seay and wife, Mrs. Jennie Vaughan Seay, who is a daughter of the late Colonel James Harrison Vaughan," owned the Tilman Dixon home in Dixon Springs, Tennessee, about fifty years after the place "was owned by Dr. Shelby of Nashville and occupied by Mrs. Tunstall and a single daughter as a wayside inn. It was about that time or soon after purchased of Dr. Shelby by Frederick Nance Mitchell, also of Nashville who moved to it and lived there for a time. Colonel Vaughan, who was then a young man keeping store at Dixon's Springs, married his daughter and after the death of her father bought the place and resided there, making improvements and alterations referred to, till his death which occurred in the year 1879, his wife having died several years before." (Extracted from Bowen's History of Smith Co.) Two of the individuals mentioned above are buried in the Tilman Dixon cemetery near the site of the house which burned in December, 1974. The two resting there are Colonel Vaughan and his wife, Eliza Ann (Mitchell) Vaughan. The "Martha Mitchell" probably was the wife of Frederick Mitchell and they may be the Frederick Nance Mitchell and Martha "Patsey" Perkins who were married November 18, 1799 in Pittsylvania Virginia. The "C. P. Mitchell" may be a son of Frederick and Martha Mitchell and a brother of Eliza Mitchell Vaughan. (One wonders where Frederick Mitchell was buried.) James H. Vaughan, who once owned the Tilman Dixon home, was the son of John S. Vaughan of Halifax County, Virginia. His mother was Ann (Stanfield) Vaughan, daughter of Marmaduke and Anne Stanfield. John S. Vaughan was the executor of the estate of his father-in-law, Marmaduke Stanfield. the will of the latter having been filed in Halifax County. In addition to James Harrison Vaughan, John and Ann Vaughan had at least six children, 4 girls and 2 boys, one being Henry Banks, i.e., Henry Banks Vaughan) and the other being John S., (Vaughan) Jr. Mary Frances Vaughan married John Chambers Bridgewater; she was a daughter of James H. and Eliza Ann (Mitchell) Vaughan. Although she is buried in the Tilman Dixon cemetery, her husband is not; he died before returning home from the Civil War. Other children of James and Eliza Vaughan were: Martha "Jennie", wife of John P. Seay; Victoria "Vickie", wife of G. F. Potter; James H. Vaughan, Jr., who may have married a McClellan; and William S. Vaughan. Susan A. Vaughan may have been a daughter or a daughter-in-law. The John S. Vaughan probably was a grandson of James Vaughan, Sr.; the identity of Mary W. Burke remains to be established.
