Happy New Year George, I too have been rather cavalier about sources. I do not have the deed information that you have been able to download and I wonder if you could send them to me directly rather than taking up space on the listserve. I do have the information from the Dryden collection that you mention. The middle initial W. is new information to me. I would be interested also in what "meager" information you have on William Vaughan's father. In trying to trace earlier history, I run across Peter Waples, a planter on the eastern shore of Virginia, who "removed to Somerset County, MD with his wife Frances on Dec. 31, 1678" and proved " his right to 100 acres. He then moved to Sussex County on the Delaware before 10/11/1692. the date of a deed to land (300 ac.) on the south side of the Indian River at the head of Pine Neck. The land was purchased from William Turner and John Goodson Three of Patte &C. for 4500 pounds of Tobacco. In 1695 he purchased 300 ac. called Warwick and another 100 ac. "adjoyning" Warwick for his son William Waples. A boundary dispute occurred with William Penn/William Clark and Peter Waples paid 4300 pounds of tobacco for Free title to the 400 ac. in 1691 (Sussex County Records). There is no will to account for the disposal of his estate, but his son William Waples (owned over 400ac.) had a son Paul whose second daughter Betty Vaughan Catharine Waples inherited a division of Paul's estate. When Temperance, wife of Paul, died in 1775 she bequeathed a ring and clothing to Betty Vaughan, wife of William Vaughan and to her grandaughter Polly Vaughn "my riding horse bridle and Sadle and Spinning wheel". I have more info on William Waples (d.a. 1746) such as a further discription of his land ownership history and his capture and jailing at age 63 by Somersett County , MD for nonpayment of taxes. The state line was in despute in those days. I have yet to go to my files and determine which William Vaughan that was. I do have sources for most of the above if you want me to dig them out.

To Mike Hilton and Ed Vaughan, I have been following your dialogue about the William Vaughan line with interest. You may recall that I exchanged messages with John Lyon a few weeks ago about William Vaughan and my ancestor, Dudson Bacon. John was of great help in getting me on the right track in searching Maryland land records and I have downloaded a number of deeds with more Vaughan's that Bacons. I had not previously focused on the Vaughan line in the past, having enough problems with Bacons. One of the things I did uncover in the Vaughan deeds I copied was the middle initial of both William and Elizabeth which I had previously not known. William appears as "William W. Vaughan"and Mary as " Mary M. Vaughan. Here are a few bits from my files that may be of interest to you. If you have different information and/or sources for the same fact I would appreciate knowing of it. I have noted sources when I have them. Unfortunately, when I first became interested in genealogy many years ago I was more cavalier about source citations than I should have been. William Vaughan: DOB - 23 Feb 1686 - Somerset County, MD. From the Dryden Collection at the Nabb Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University. Salisbury, MD. This collection of information is so vast it is housed in its own room at the Center. Mr. Dryden spent his entire life copying data from official records of the jurisdictions in the area. Sadly, his handwriting was so bad that it is more of an art than a science to decipher his notes. This collection is not available online. DOD - Sometime after Nov 1742 and before Jan 1743. Deduced from information in the will cited below. >From Maryland Calendar of Wills, Volume 8, Page 245 Vaughan, William, gent., Somerset Co. 9 Nov 1742 (Signed will) 14 Jan 1743 (Will probated) Summary: "To son Jethro. plan and 150 A. to the S. of this. Shd he die without issue, to pass to his bro. Leven. Shd. he die without issue to his bro. William. To son Ephram, 100 A. and plan. which Test bought from Dadson Bacon. [p/246] To oldest dau. Sarah Polk and dau. Elizabeth Bacon, 1s. To five small child. _____, residue of estate. Ex. Wife Mary, and son Jethro. Test. John Rhodes, Wm. Moor, Thomas Parremore. 23. 348." I have the surname of JONES (with no source) for William's wife Mary which may be suspect now that I have found a deed with M as her middle initial. I list Williams children in the following order: Jethro, Levin, William, Ephraim. Sarah, Elizabeth (my g-g-g-g grandmother), and five unknowns listed in his will. This address (_http://probatesearch.archives.delaware.gov/result.asp_ (http://probatesearch.archives.delaware.gov/result.asp) ) will provide you with the names of those Vaughans listed in the Delaware Probate Database. The first names and dates will likely indicate which of these are William's children. I have not gotten any Vaughan probate records but I have received numerous Bacon records. It is nor very costly and provides some fascinating information. Lastly, I recall I have some meager information on William Vaughan's father, also William, but it will take some time to dig it up. Hope this helps. Cordially, George Bacon In a message dated 12/31/2008 2:05:15 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, edvaughn@cdsnet.net writes: Thanks for your efforts Mike, Thanks also to you Kari.

Kari Thank you so much.I have forwarded these on to the only other Keys researcher I know. They are his folks although we are fairly sure it is the same family. My family is in Queen Anne MD and his in Dorchester MD and some from both places come to Kent County DE.The names are the same also: George,Richard,John,Thomas,William. Kathleen
Kathleen, You can still contact me at either website. I put the yahoo account on my website in the event I change from my current provider (if they ever send DSL to my remote location), then I wouldn't have to worry about remembering to change it on the website. There is nothing in the Index to Wills book and there are only a few Keys in the Tombstone Records book. I will list them below. 1. John F. Keys, son of Thomas and Sarah Keys, d. Sept. 9, 1885, aged 19 years. 2. Thomas Keyes, b. Feb. 27, 1827, d. June 13, 1902 3. Sarah C. Keyes, wife of Thomas Keyes, b. Mar. 16, 1827, d. June 10, 1902 (whether or not these are your folks I find it interesting that the son is listed without an E in the last name and that the parents died within 3 days of each other) 4. John C. Keyes, 1888-(must have still been alive at this printing) 5. Bunie V. Keyes, 1891-(must have still been alive at this printing) 6. Leavinia Keys, d. June 16, 1904, aged 64 years. 7. Thomas L.

List: Any subscriber to a Rootsweb genealogy list will occasionally see comments and/or questions about why early Americans packed up their households and "headed West". Most individuals acknowledge that a/the primary reason was to acquire inexpensive land. The following two short paragraphs, taken from a copy of the will of Olive (male) Jump (spouse: Mary) of Sussex County illustrates the point in a few brief words and gives a snapshot (no surprise) of the mindset of the period. Offered here as an FYI only (i.e. no political or other hidden agenda). ============================================================= Olive Jump of Sussex Co., Delaware written 30 Dec. 1810 probated 5 Feb. 1811 Lib. F-6 fol. 442-444 "..share seventy dollars, my reason for the willing of my property for sale it may enable children to emigrate from the little poore proud state of Delaware to the western teritories." ====================================================================== copied from an Internet site/page belonging to Parker Todd.
Do you have anything on the name Bennett, Bennet, Bennit in either book? I am especially looking for John & Sarah the parents of Jehu (John) that was born in 1766 or 1772 depending on which source used.
