SUSAN MAUK (HARP-VAUGHAN)

RT VAUGHAN

Susan Mauk - Another connection discovered connection;Discussions went back in Aug of 2010 , the speculation around who was the wife of John Vaughan, Jr. (son of John and Nancy).

For some time oujr only piece of documented evidence existed with a hint on the 1870 census for Hancock County. In the household of John and wife, Susan was a 92 year old blacksmith named John "Mock". We have since all pretty much speculated that this had to be Susan's father. Mabel Harp also favored the "Mauk" connection over that of a Snapp link.
This would lays to rest any doubt on who the wife of John Vaughan Jr. really was.

The linked document below is the Tennessee Death Certificate for Robert Thomas Jefferson Vaughan. (1851-1920). He was the youngest son of John and Susan. Per the informant, James Vaughan (bro to deceased) he clearly states that his mother was Susan MAUK.

In addition, he is buried at Lee Valley Cemetery not located other sources od Vaughans that have been recorded in that cemetery, but it is entirely possible that RTJV's siblings are there, as well as John and Susan?

RE:
Subject: Susan Snapp -- Susan Mauk
Solid genealogical evidence from several
people, think that the wife of John Vaughan (son of John and Nancy
(Callicott) Vaughan is indeed Susan Mauk (or Monk or Mock), daughter
of John Mauk, instead of Susan Snapp. However, do check all data out for your own records.
Phote has GW at age 7 (Smith, Vaughan, Tucker i.e.)
