My grandfather , Sidney Vaughan , came from the Vaughans of Ruardean , Gloucestershire . There are very good records until the 1600s . I am trying to trace the family of John Vaughan 1584 - 1619 of Kinnersley Castle (from Clyro Family)and Johanna(Joan) Baynham 1585-1689 of Ruardean . Their family included son Baynham 1605-1650 , John 1610 , Thomas 1612 , Roger 1615-1696 and Elizabeth 1617 . Baynham married Eliz. Guildford , Their daughter Mary married Sir T . Gifford. Their son John married Frances Browne and their daughter Mary married John Vaughan 1633 of Courtfield . This brought the two families together . Baynham also had a son Roger 1615-1696 who married Anne Arundel of Wiltshire .The Baynhams were in possession of the Manor of Ruardean and so the Vaughans took it over along with other possessions . There is a Roger Vaughan born in Salisbury in 1645 to a Roger Vaughan. And there is a Roger Vaughan died in Ruardean St John's Church in 1719 . Could these be children of Roger 1615 ? There is a Richard Vaughan, born in 1653 in London of a Roger Vaughan and Elizabeth , who then married an Elizabeth Bennett ,and could be the Richard buried in Ruardean in 1730 . That could make the John Vaughan 1667-1738 , who married Mary Bradley , his brother ? This John was born in Ruardean and died there . His will is #156 Mitcheldean . So do you think that the Baynham Vaughans of Ruardean are the ancestors of the following Ruardean Vaughans ?
