Kari Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year of finding those elusive ancestors. If possible - can you see if there are any America names? Thank you much Dick America >>> "Kari Farnell" <klaf@dmv.com> 12/23/2008 8:28 PM >>> I don't think any of the records I have go that far back. In the Index to Wills, it does list a William Vaughan (presumably the one you mentioned). It is liber/folio 14-416, dated 1717. Additionally, there is only one Vaughn in the Tombstone record book.
