Benjamine Franklin Vaughn and his wife Lola, they lived in Hazlehurst, later on, and the oldest daughter who was named Lula Mae, her name was changed to Nell Vaughn Nell married J.B. Lindsey who are my husbands parents. She went on to have 10 children of her own, her sister Peggy was adopted by the Spain family, there was a lady who lived in the curve of the road on the way to Union Church, on the right side of the road going that way a store was across the road from the house, I have talked to a gentleman who ownes the store, this lady who lived in the house in the curve of the road, was kin to Macie, my mother in law met her in the mid 60's. George Curbin, according to the 1920 census from the archives in jackson showed he was from Maryland. We dont know what happened to him after he gave his two girls up, we were told that at time, the Health Department usually took care of these kind of things, we learned later on after my mother in law that the Vaughns had never leagly adopted her, from what we learned about them, they might have had other children like Nell in there home, also, the Vaughns, would come into town in Fayette, and would see some of the family members of Macie, they would hide Nell until they were sure no one was still there, it was a very tragic time for this little girl, she married at 14 and had a child, my husband at 15. She was a wonderful woman, and she did try to fine out a little before having her last child, the 10th in 1962 Lola died in 39, my husband remembers her, they lived I think by the ball field in hazlehurst. we have a picture of 3 girls, Macie is sitting down , she had elephant foot disease, big large ankles, her two sisters are besides her, on the 1920 census, there was a Jones Family listed below her little family, we wondered if it was her family, it listed a brother, who was crippled, on the census also. thank you for listening.

Lynda I have a Benjamine Prentiss Vaughan in my database but no Benjamin Franklin. I just recently started my Vaughan research because my husband's great-grandfather was orphaned as a child and was raised by relatives and it has been extremely difficult. Do you have any dates for these people? Or parents of the Vaughans? I will be glad to keep an eye out for information.

I do have pictures of the graves, but not sure we have any information on who the parents of Benjamine, will ask one of my husbands sibblings, altho he is the oldest child of 10, he would be the most likely to remember.
