NOTES: The Vaughan family in this part of the United States sprang from Samuel C., who emigrated from England to this country in colonial days, and was a lieutenant colonel in the Revolutionary War. His son was James Vaughan, born Feb. 28, 1802.
James and Sarah Vaughan: The former was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia. They were married in that state(Lunenburg Ct, Va) and lived there until the year 1837, when they came to Alabama and settled in Tallapoosa County on the Tallapoosa River. They lived there three years and owned a place one mile north of Dadeville, Alabama. Then they moved into town and lived there until James's death in 1880. By occupation he was a farmer and an energetic and thrifty man, accumulating a considerable property. He dealt in notes and securities and prospered in that line of business. He was a man of decided convictions and when he arrived at a conclusion on any subject was fearless in the expression of his opinions. He was opposed to secession but after the state had seceded he gave his assistance unstinted to the new government. He was by faith a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a member of the Masonic fraternity. He reared a family of five sons and six daughters.
