1. Re: [NYWASHIN] Obituary of Jay S. Vaughn
2. Bart J Kowallis
3. Leslie -- I know that Jay VAUGHN is the son of Darwin C. VAUGHN and Jane Marie DUERS. Darwin VAUGHN is the son of John VAUGHN (1799-1845) and Hannah MARTIN (1805-1902), but I have not followed this line further because my relatives are the DUERS side of the family. I do know that the name VAUGHN is also spelled VAUGHAN and would not be surprised if it was spelled VAHAN as well in some records. I also know that the VAUGHN family is one of the early families in Washington County area. --Bart > > Hi Bart, > > I have a couple of dumb questions.
