To Sally Baughn, You are correct in all your statements. And, I thank you for the correction, which I will make sure is entered in my data base. Although it is no excuse, Baughan/Vaughan is not a primary research family for me, I did not take sufficient time to make sure of the data. I have no specific marriage data for Lystra and Margaret Hitt. My only sources are those I posted. Thanks again, Earl J.
