Ann, to the best of my knowledge, there's no Rev. Vaughan in my line. By the early part of the 20th century, the Vaughan males had all moved from Nelson and Amherst Cos., mostly to Missouri and Texas.

Vaughan, a friend of my grandparents, The Rev. Edward Christian Wilmer and Annie Byrd Wilmer (nee Wilmer). Anyone have a Rev.
