If you know anything about any of these families mentioned, please contact me. And where is Duck Creek? This is a timeline for our Vaughan/n family and what we know to date about our Hawkins Co Tennessee family. Wilson Vaughan and Nancy Bowlin Vaughan were the parents of Stokely, Wylie, Wesley, Mary and Clinton Vaughan. Based on research, as shown below, we believe Wilson VAUGHAN died between 1837 and 1840. We believe Levi Bowlin was the Father of Nancy Bowlin. Nancy is shown in Hawkins Co TN 1840 census, living close to Levi and brother James, with her children. 1829 Wilson Vaughan Dec 1829 bought land from Samuel Nicholson. Deed registered May 23, 1835. Wilson Vaughan is born abt 1805.

Wilson is apparently deceased by then. 1842 HAWKINS COUNTY, TENNESSEE--MARRIAGE RECORDS 1789-1866, p. 10: John Bowling married Jincey Vaughn on September 13, 1842. The marriage was performed by Thomas Martin, J. P. (We are still researching Jencey and John Bowling, but believe they are our Vaughan family as well. 1860 Nancy Bowlin found in 1860 census living in Carter Co KY with her sons Wesley and Clinton VAUGHAN. (Wesley, her son, goes off to Civil War) 1870 Nancy Bowlin Vaughan/n in 1870, age 65, found living in Jackson Co IN with son Wesley Vaughn and his family Nancy Bowlin Vaughan/n in 1880, age 65, found living in Guthrie Tnshp in Lawrence Co IN with Wesley Vaughn and his family 1880 Nancy Bowlin Vaughan/n is living with her son, Wesley and his family in Lawrence Co IN. She is 75 years of age. She indicates on the census report that she was born in TN and her parents were born in KY. It is probable that Nancy died and is buried in Lawrence Co IN, however, we have yet to find any records of her death and where she might be buried. Below are documents witnessed by William Vaughan, which to me indicates there is a family relationship between William and Wilson. Also note, Dist 2 Election shows William, John and Wilson Vaughan attending. This Indenture made and Entered into this 25 day of Oct.
