I am sure that Bertha will sort this out as the acknowledged Vaughan expert, but to throw in my two pennys worth; I have a John Vaughan who married an Elizabeth Bennett in Ruardean 18.5.1762, witnesses James Bennett & Penny Beecham. This Elizabeth baptised Ruardean 29.8.1742 is the daughter of James Bennett & Elizabeth. John Vaughan & Elizabeth had 5 children including a Lettice baptised 2.7.1772 Ruardean. My connection is with Elizabeth's brother James Bennett, one of my 5 times great grandfathers baptised 29.8.1742 Ruardean who married Elizabeth Annetts in Ruardean 16.6.1758 and had 5 children including Jane who married John Marfell.

It is possible that Bertha can help me with another John Vaughan. Looking through my "Vaughan's" I noted another John Vaughan for whom I have no knowledge other than the fact that his daughter Elizabeth born Ruardean 1823 married George Ellis Philip Knight Trump 15.11.1845 Ruardean. My connection here is that their son Thomas married Dora Read, daughter of William Read & Selina Marfell. Thomas Trump has an interesting history as he was jailed for "accidently" shooting his brother, I have the Cinderford Mercury press cuttings if anyone is interested. Thomas emigrated to America with his cousin Oliver Turner - see Ed Molls Bar picture.
