Also, included are the memories of grandson Ed Jr. A chapter covering Edward's son, Eddie, is also included. The book is the result of research compiled from 2017-2020 by a descendant of Edward Vaughn, grandson Dennis R. Vaughn. This is a history and genealogy of the Edward Vaughn family in 10 chapters and 5 appendices. It covers the origins of the Vaughan/Vaughn surname as well as the likely origins of the family in the Wales and western Midlands region of the British Isles. The narrative follows seven generations of Vaughns beginning in the early 1700s with Daniel Vaughan and his son, William "T" Vaughan, and ends with Edward living in Greene County in the 1940s. We follow the family from the early Virginia Colony in Charles City and later Mecklenburg County. By the late 1700s, this Vaughn branch headed to Washington (Marion) County in pioneer Kentucky. The Vaughns would eventually migrate to Indiana, settling first in Owen and then Greene Counties by 1900. With the help of genealogists using Vaughan/Vaughn DNA matches and other Vaughan family trees, the book discloses how the origins of Edward's branch of the Vaughn family tree were established. Chapter 4 describes the migration of Samuel Vaughan and Richard Gregory families from southern Virginia to Nelson (Washington) County, Kentucky, around 1790.Chapters 9 and 10 explore the lives of Edward Vaughn and his wife Anna Mary Cadwell in Midland, Indiana, from the early 1900s to the late 1940s.Appendix 3 lists eleven Vaughn-Murphy intermarriages from 1825 to 1899. Most of the marriages were between descendants of Samuel Vaughan Sr. and Kanellum Murphey Sr. of Washington County, Kentucky.Appendix 5 includes notes collected by the researcher on the arrival of William "T" Vaughan's descendants into Gasconade, Maries and Osage, Missouri, between 1820 and 1840.Other families the Vaughns interacted with along the way include the Gregorys, Averitts, Swans, Yowells, Murphys, Cadwells, Alsops, Bradfords, Woods, Arthurs, and Geabharts.The 173-page book includes an index, photographs, color illustrations and documents, and 27 maps in color.
