Would you please look in your family history to see if you have a George W. Vaughn. GEORGE W. VAUGHAN born on 28 Feb 1796 in
Virginia. Between that year and 1832 he moved to Garnetsville,
KY (now it is
Fort Knox) as a blacksmith and farmer (History of Garnetsville. KY).He married MARY ELIZA
CONNER on 09 Aug 1832 in
Kentucky. Their sons were Richard Thomas (Thomas Richard), William and George. Assuming that George was
Irish and first born son was Richard Thomas/ Thomas Richard. That might be the best place to start. His residence in 1850 was District 3,
Meade Co, and
Kentucky according to the census. He died on 13 Apr 1869 in
Mead Co
KY Thank you so much for your time and effort. Looking forward in hearing from you...... Jim
