Hi,

I jumped on the list to tell several cousins that I have made a breaktrough in the parents of David Vaughan who married Catherine Anderson about 1780 in Southern Amelia County Virginia.

Those of you who claim descendancy can get loads of Anderson stuff if you ask me.

David was the brother of Daniel. David and Daniel lived on the east side of Long Branch currently on the southern outskirts of Blackstone Virginia. They married Anderson sisters Catherine and Susan. David and Catherine were about 10 years older than Daniel and Susan.

My research has shown that David and Daniel were sons of Isham Vaughan.

Here are the pertenat items.

Isham Vaughan (son of Daniel) was born February 04, 1725/26 in Bristol Parish, Virginia source "Births from the Bristol Parish Register of Henrico, Prince George, and Dinwiddie Counites, Virginia, 1720-1798, Transcribed By Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; Baltimore; 1980

Notes for Isham Vaughan: 1738 witness to deed southside of West Creek Amelia County 1740 listed as adjacent landholder southside of West Creek Amelia County 1746 listed as adjacent landholder on Frank's Creek Amelia County 1748 listed as adjacent landholder on Frank's Creek Amelia County 1748 listed as adjacent landholder on Deep Creek Amelia County 1750 listed as adjacent landholder on Deep Creek Amelia County 1750 Isham appointed guardian to orphan Thomas Childrey

Indenture Richard Jones, Jr. to Isham Vaughan dated 20 July 1750 for consideration of love & affection for Isham Vaughan) 630 acres bothsides of the south fork of Deep Creek, adj. lines of Hall Hudson a small branch, Winningham's Creek, lines of Philemon Crane, Ambrose Crane, Tanner, Moody, & Jefferson & Brown's with all houses etc. Wits: Peter Jones, John Turner, Peter Jones.

This land lies near the Nottoway Amelia border north of Blackstone. Richard Jones may have served as Isham's guardian, since Isham is identified as a landowner at the age of 15 it is likely that he had a guardian.

Indenture Charles Sallard of Nottoway Parish , Amelia County to Isham Vaughan of same dated 22 April 1767 for considerationof 48 pounds 128 acres in Nottoway Parish on Long Branch, the old road, a plain cross path, & line of Quarles. Wit: Charles Connally, John Porter & David Vaughan.

This purchase of land along long Branch in Nottoway in 1767 he later deeded to Daniel Vaughan in 1791. It is located on the southern edge of the town limits of curent Blackstone, Virginia.

1765 witnesses a neighbors deed with his son Frederick 1765 witnesses will of Thomas Tanner 1767 listed as adjacent landholder on Deep Creek Amelia County

1768, July 20 - Isham Vaughan patents 55 acres on the east side of Long Branch that makes out of the Hurricane Creek. Patents No. 37, 1767-68, page 362.

This patent later appears as the land David Vaughan lives on. Isham must have given it to his son David in an unrecorded or unindexed deed.

1769 witnesses a neighbors deed 1770 signs deed to his son Frederick

I believe his estate was settled after 1800 in Nottoway County. He apparently lived to be a very old man.

Children of Isham Vaughan and Sarah Robertson are: 2 i. Frederick4 Vaughan, born Bef. 1746.

Notes for Frederick Vaughan: Frederick appears as a witness with Isham in 1765 deed of Brown to McDearman.

Indenture of 17 May , 1770 from Isham Vaughan of Amelia County to Frederick Vaughan of aforesaid County for consideration of Natural love and affection for son. 200 acres on which Isham now lives. Land is adjacent, Joshua Hudson, the creek and lines of Uriah Lipscomb, Archelius Tanner and Joel Tanner. Wits: John Anderson, Buckner Nunnely & Sarah Mury. recorded July 26, 1770.

Frederick sold the same to John Tabb on July 26, 1770

3 ii. David Vaughan, born Abt. 1746 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia; died 1825 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. He married Catherine Anderson (Source: (1) Grant James Anderson, Genealogy in part, of the Anderson - Owen - Beall Families, (Whittet & Shepperson, Printers; 1909)., (2) Estate Settlement of Hannah Anderson, (Nottoway Court Order Book 7, Page 194, May 1815).) Abt. 1780; born March 25, 1752 in Sussex County, Virginia (Source: Gertrude R. B. Richards, Register of Albemarle Parish, Surry and Sussex Counties, 1739-1778, (The National Society Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia; 1958).); died Bet. 1820 - 1825 in Lunenburg County, Virginia.

Notes for David Vaughan: David is first mentioned as a witness to the 1767 deed by which Isham Vaughan acquires 135 acres along long branch just south of Blackstone Virginia. He appears as witness to neighbors deeds in 1768 and 1771 and it is therefore fairly certain that he was living along Long Branch. The acres acquired by Isham are transferred in 1791 to Daniel Vaughan who married Susan Anderson the younger sister of Catherine Anderson the wife of David Vaughan. Thus it is likely that David and Daniel are brothers seprated by a decade or so as were the sisters. David was probably born around 1746 which would be compatable with his wife's recorded birth date of 1752. He was likely born along Deep Creek and Frank's Creek in current Amelia County. In 1768 Isham Vaughan patents 55 acres along Long Branch which appears to be the same 50 acres that David and Catherine sell in the deed below. The 1791 deed to Daniel is adjacent the land of David Vaughan, I can find absolutely no record of how David Vaughan acquires those 50 acres in either the Amelia or Nottoway County records. Isham however made deeds to Frederick "my son for love and consideration" and Daniel "for 6 shillings and other valuable consideration" and it is therefore possible that Isham gave a deed to his son David that he failed to record or that the Amelia Clerk failed to index. About 1780 David married Catherine Anderson the son of John Anderson and Mary Bell who lived on the west side of Long Branch from David's land. I will bet she used to sit on the west bank of the Creek and dabble her feet in the creek while David worked at the mill. John Anderson bought his land also in 1767 so it is likely that David and Catherine met as a young couple but put off marriage until his return from the revolutionary war. I feel confident that David did serve in the Rev. War since Catherine's two brothers did. David Vaughan posts a bond as constable in Nottway County. In 1795 David and Catherine sell there 50 acres along Long Branch and move to Lunenburg County, Virginia, buying land in 1797 there. In the 1810 and 1820 census David is still in Lunenburg Co., VA. David's will is dated 22 August 1825 and it was probated 10 November 1825 so it is presumed he died in Lunenburg Co., VA. _________________________________ This indenture made this first day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred & ninety five between David Vaughan and Catharine his wife of Nottoway County of the one part and John Shurfield of the same county of the other part Witnesseth that the said David Vaughan & Catharine his wife for and in Consideration of the sum of Eighty pounds Current money of Virginia to them in hand paid by the said Jno Shurfield before the sealing & delivering of these presents the receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge hath granted bargained & sold and delivered and do by these presents grant bargain sell and deliver unto the said John Shurfiield his heirs or assigns one certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in the County aforesaid containing fifty acres be the same more or less and on the north side of the long Branch beginning at the xxxxxxxxxxxx[sic] mouth of David Vaughan's spring Branch in the said Long Branch thence up said spring branch north East ward to the spring to a white oak in Daniel Vaughan's line thence along his line the same course to John Shurfield's line at the Hurricane road thence along the said road as in meanders westward to a corner red oak in said Shurfield lines thence nothward along said line to Richd Libscomb's corner thence along his line westward to the long branch thence down the said branch as it meanders to the Beginning including all woods ways watercourses meadow grounds & improvement thereon standing growing & being & likewise all the right title interest claim & demand of them the sd David Vaughan and Catharine his wife of and in & to the said premise or any part thereof To have & to Hold the aforesaid land & premises together with its appurtenances by the said Jno Shurfield his heirs & assigns forever to the only use & behoof of him the sd Jno Shurfield his heirs and assigns forver and the the said David Vaughan & Catharine his wife for themselves and their heirs the aforesaid land & premises unot the said Jno Shurfield his heris and Assigns will warrant & forever defend in fee simple against the lawful claim or claims of all & every other person or persons whatsover In Witness whereof we have herunto set our hands & affixed our seals the day and year above written. signed sealed & delivered David Vaughan in the presence of Catharine [C] Vaughan Memo that Mr. Benjamin Bridgeforth is interested in the mill that is upon the within land so far as to have all his corn ground in the sd Mill tole free and likewise his successor after his death is entitled to same privelige as long as they or their heirs live at same plantation and assist in keeping the said mill in repair agreeable to first contract made between David Vaughan & sd Bridgeforth witness my hand this first day of October 179five
