Hello Jim, Here's a thought for a place to look for your missing ancestors. My g'g'grandfather, George A. Phelps, was born around 1820 in Caldwell's Manor, Mississquoi County, Quebec. His father, however, was from northern Vermont and they later ended up in Franklin County. Caldwell's manor was a large tract of land that was carved up into small farms - possibly tennants? - just over the border from northern NY and VT. I've not yet determined the history of Caldwell's manor but it seems it may have been a lure; perhaps a false promise of farm-to-own? (If anyone out there knows the history and facts, I'd love to know what it is!) At any rate, I have a handwritten transcription of the 1825 Census of Lower Canada for this area and see several Vaughn families there. I didn't notice any Manns but it's a bit difficult to accurately scan pages of handwritten notes rather than an electronic index so I may have missed someone. While I don't find a Marlin or Martin Vaughn, I do find several other Vaughns in that area. Do any of the given names below show up among Marlin Vaughn's children (in other words, children named for their grandfather)? If so, check across the border. Here are the Vaughn's I spotted: In St. Armand Twp: Clark and Jabez Vaughn In St. Thomas Twp: John Vaughn In St. George Twp: Josephus Vaughn In Stanbridge Twp: Ozen and Clark Vaughn Good luck!
