In this bond it is stated that Nancy was 21, yet most of us had the tale that she eloped to a different county to get married since her father would not allow it. She may have lied to the court in able to marry John Vaughan?

'Some this info is done by Tim Childress and is paraphrased a lot; Please check out his site. See his links below.
''John Vaughan descendants; 'After the completion of Sgt. John Vaughan s military career' ...'Nancy s day book and documents claimed they had eleven children; their names and birthdays were listed, John s 1841 will gave the married names of their daughters, and both parents gave information on where their offspring...' (1.)Samuel N. Vaughan. (2.)John Vaughan, Jr. and (3.) Martha Jane Vaughan Davis. Next, we contacted Tim Childress with news on (4.) Rebecca Vaughan Roller, and a few more pictures—some, even of grand kids, came with each new contact. Previously Dick Helton shared a picture of (5.)George Washington Vaughan—the only actual image so far of any of the eleven children. This was Tim’s line and he and Sue Clark were able to put together an impressive volume on their ancestor. And, although (6.) Beverly Vaughan had taken off to parts unknown, Phylis Deutch, found him who has him mapped out some parts to which he traveled. Recently I found the true ? (7.) Benjamin Vaughan in Texas with Eve Everheart and their three boys, as well as finding (8.) James L. Vaughan in 1836 outside the Alamo, before it fell. He had a horse for William Barrett Travis, (9.) Mary Polly Vaughan Gilliam, because she is a Gilliam, and there is a lot of documentation on her. Then, poor (10.) Mahala Vaughan Deckerd—if that is her name—is dead and I have never seen anything of her. That leaves Nancy; (11.)Nancy Vaughan Hickman.''
''Ancestry.com is a story of one of Nancy’s grandsons—Patton B. Flannery. It seems he had been involved in an unsolved 30 yr old murder case. In fact it turns out that two of Nancy’s children are involved in tragedy beyond all comprehension. As one news report pointed out, all parties involved were from families that were well thought of. The Hickman family even had a TN county named after them, and Nancy and husband David owned a huge section of Hawkins/Hancock County. Nevertheless by 1880, daughter Ann and husband Robert Flannery had moved in with them, and ten years later four of Nancy s young grandsons: Patton, Wilborn, David Jesse, and William would grow up to be stone cold killers who ran with a ruthless gang that terrorized the citizens of three states. Nancy s son Daniel P. went to Texas to act out another tragedy all his own. I don’t know if Nancy and husband David lived to see their grandsons go bad, but if they were alive—they could have read the story in newspapers from Virginia to Texas/Oklahoma. If the boys had robbed banks and the railroads, as they went around killing folks, they would have been as well known as the James bros and their kind. In an ongoing effort, Tim is putting the articles together as fast as he finds them at his site:''

''The news print is old and hard to read so be sure and make use of all the tweaking devices. You have never read a newspaper as strange as this. So grab a good drink, pull up a chair and be amazed at another tale of mayhem and justice denied--and this time it's your own kin that got away with murder. ''
