Hi, I have reference to a Frances Vaughn in Pope County, Township 12 s, Range 7 E, dated 10-9-1860. The Post Office was Golconda. Francis Vaughn 13 f IL James 9 m IL Ester 6 f IL George C. 5 m IL William H. 2 m KY This is interesting~according to the George C. and William H. and their age, either this family was in Ky. between 1855 and 1858, or either William H. isn't a brother to this family. It's possible that some of your Vaughn's moved back to Ky. after 1880, but not all of them did. A few went over to Hardin County, IL. (Roisclare and Elizabethtown) I am researching the Goins and Hogan families out of Pope and Hardin Counties during this same time period and my interest in this family was a La Verne Vaughn, daughter of Orval and Bertha (Craig) Vaughn. La Verne married into the Goins line in 1941. This was almost 100 years after, but I thought it was worth passing along. Incidentally, if you happen to run across any of my clan in your search, please let me know. Vicki
