I have had a different perspective on Betty Waples daughter of Paul Waples and Temperence Derrickson... First: I think that Paul and Temprance were born around 1710 and Betty in the mid 1730s... Second: I think Betty married William Vaughan bef. Jan. 8, 1757 with Wm passing bef. March 15, 1775 as seen thru the will of Betty's mother Temperance Waples who says Betty is now the widow of William Vaughan.(will transcribed below noting Wm is deceased). There is at least a possibility that she then married Levin Vaughan, probable cousin to Wm. Vaughan, dec'd. My wife's line comes from this union with Charles and Samuel Vaughan as issue. Then Levin died intestate in or before 1779... At one time I thought she may have quickly married a Jesse King and died shortly thereafter but the will indicates that Betty King (late Betty Vaughan) also had a son John Burton.. (The Burton surname did continue down another generation however as Joseph Burton Vaughan was born abt. 1797 and he named a daughter after his great aunt, Nancy Derrickson Vaughan who married Edward Parker McCauley - my wife's surname).. Anyway, obviously there is considerable confusion over this line and with so many Vaughans named Charles, William, and Levin, it is no wonder. If anyone has a better idea, I would love to hear it... Here is the transcribed will: 1775 Will of Temperance Waples In the Name of God Amen.

Thanks for sending a copy of the will of Temperence Derrickson. I believe that there is are errors in some of the dates given by Ed Vaughn. 1. William Vaughan, Jr.  1710-1785     According to the Will below, he died before the will was written. Therefore, he died before Mar 15, 1775. 2. Dudson Bacon 1715-1784     According to his notes, probate of the will took place on Oct 3, 1783. He had to die first the will got probated.
