TWO BENJAMIN VAUGHANS OF HAWKINS CO TN, BORN 1805In the January 1985 Newsletter, p. 2, Johnette Franke and Mabel Harp indicated that John & Nancy Callicott Vaughan's son Benjamin married Martha Simmons.
In the Jan. 1988 issue, p.3, Verna Banes tentatively stated that James Vaughan's (b. 1767) son
Benjamin W. married Eva Everheart (1834, Hawkins Co TN). Now we know those assumptions was incorrect. Through intenstive research by Mabel Harp, Naomi Hopperstad, Mary Gregg, Alice Wineinger, & others, it has been decided that these two Benjamins (both b. 1805) have been reversed.
Were they cousins??
The main proof is that one is always referred to as Benjamin W. (Walker), and the other as Benjamin.
Benjamin W. is listed in the 1840 win of James (b. 1767). References to these families win be found in
Newsletters pp. 17 & 25, 1984, p. 18; 1986; p. 51, 1987; and p. 3, 1988 issues.
An undocumented source states that wife of James (b 1767) was Elizabeth Walker. - Therefore it seems logical that the Benjamin Walker Vaughan would have been their son. James' win names widow Sally. Did he have two or more wives?
If facts are correct, Benjamin (wife Eva Everheart) was the son of John and Nancy Callicott Vaughan; while Benjamin Walker (wife Martha Simmons) was the son of James and Elizabeth Walker Vaughan.
Children of Benjamin Walker and Martha (Martheir) Simmons Vaughan were:
Lucinda, b. 1829, m. David D. Anderson (Derrick).
Samuel S., b. ca 1832, m. Sarah. Benjamin W., b. ca 1834.
Robert Arnout, b. 1841. Martha, b. ca 1843, m. Jordon H. F1etcher(?).
NAOMI LONG HOPPERSTAD, 1224 Otto Blvd. #1, Chicago Hts. IL 60411 is the great-great grand- dau of Lucinda & David Anderson.She joins Verna Banes and others (see p. 3 of the January 1988 issue) who descend from James Vaughan born 1767.
