Greetings Folks, I found this very informative obituary in the New Jersey Herald dated Thurs, 23 Jan 1919: Richard VAUGHAN, who passed away at his residence in Lafayette on the 10th inst., was the second son of Jacob and Luzilla (SNOVER) VAUGHAN, who resided near what is now known as "Vaughan's Cemetery" in Sparta township. He was born January 7th, 1837, and was thus exactly eighty-two years of age. His grandfather, Richard Vaughan, came to this place from Knowlton in Warren county, then a part of Sussex county. He was the second son of the Rev. Daniel Vaughan, whose first wife was Dinah WATKINS. The Rev. Daniel Vaughan, according to Morgan Edwards history of the Baptists of New Jersey, was a native of Hunterdon county and was for many years pastor of the Knowlton Baptist church, which was located in the old cemetery, now known as the "Union Brick Cemetery" near Blairstown. He was born June 17th, 1746 and died May 29th, 1810, and is buried in the cemetery. The tombstone of his first wife records the names of their eleven children. Subsequently, Mr. Vaughan married a Mrs Hannah OGDEN nee REED, by whom he had seven children. The inscription on the tombstones are most interesting and include some quaint verses expressing Christian sentiments. Richard Vaughan was born November 16th, 1774 and married Mary SWAZY, by whom he had five daughters and one son, Jacob, the father of Deacon Vaughan, who died last week. For some years Mr. Vaughan taught school in the vicinity of Lafayette but subsequently purchased the farm now owned by his son, Judson. In 1872, he married Hannah Jane, daughter of James C. BEVANS and Sarah ROSENKRANS, of Peter's Valley. Mrs. Vaughan died in March, 1909, in the home where Mr. Vaughan has resided since his retirement from active farming. During the greater part of his life Mr. Vaughan has been a Deacon of the Lafayette Baptist church, which he served with unusual loyalty and devotion. He is survived by three sons, Elmer E., of California; James A., formerly of Newton but now of Franklin, and Judson V., of Lafayette. Also by three sisters, Mrs. Mary MABIE, of Hamburg; Mrs Sarah WILSON, of North Church, and Mrs Lenora MORRIS, of Burdette, NY, also by one brother, John, of Newton. Throughout his life Mr. Vaughan was a staunch Democrat byt never sought office for himself or figured actively in political affairs. Hope this helps someone, Cathy DiPietro listowner NJSussex
