-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Frances Vaughn m. Thomas Wagnon Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2006 12:21:24 -0700 From: Murray <McBlur@earthlink.net> To: <POYTHRESS-L-request@rootsweb.com> In 1748, in Virginia, Frances Vaughn married Thomas Wagnon. They had a son named Thomas Poythress Wagnon. To my knowledge this is the first appearance of the name Poythress in the Wagnon lineage, It was followed by a grandson of the same name, as well as some others with Poythress in their names. Does anyone know of a marriage between a Vaughn and a Poythress that may have led to Frances Vaughn?? I am a 5th greatgrandson of Frances Vaughn & Thomas Wagnon Murray Wagnon

Murray, you should check our Poythress-List's archives if you have not already done so, as I recall the Wagnon name has come up before & perhaps one of those earlier messages may have had some helpful info that I have not entered in my database. The only Vaughn/Vaughan & Poythress marriage that I'm aware of, was more than a century too late to be of any help to you. That marriage is listed in the book "Marriages of Bute and Warren Counties, North Carolina, 1764 - 1868" by Brent Holcomb. It gives abstracts of all extant marriage bonds issued in Bute & Warren Counties, NC, from 1764 to 1868 when marriage bonds were discontinued. In the introduction, Holcomb further notes that his "abstracts were made from a microfilm copy of the bonds" (not further identified, but probably from NC Archives) and "Additionally, abstracts of the entries in the marriage register for Warren County, 1851-1867, are included as well, made from a microfilm copy (North Carolina Archives microfilm C.100.63002)." This book lists a marriage between N.D. Vaughan and Mary E. Poythress dated 17 May 1861. (She was daughter of David Poythress & Mary Speed Dortch.) Good luck in your research.
