Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/10805 Surname: Parr, Vaughn, Campbell, Green, Smith ------------------------- My information concerning the marriage license application for E. Neville Vaughn to Sarah F. Parr is basically the same as yours. The application was for E. Neville Vaughn, age 23, b. Nelson, white, parents W. L. & Fannie E., and Sarah F. Parr, age 21 b. Amherst, single, residence Amherst, white, parents Thos W. and Sarah F. with the register showing no marriage date. I have no knowledge as to why the couple did not marry. However, Sarah Furman Parr did marry Clarence J. Campbell on November 27, 1884. The minister was Thomas Gatewood, whom I believe would have been her uncle. Clarence Campbell was the s/o Joel H. Campbell. Sarah F. Parr and husband Clarence Campbell had seven known children; Moncure, b. Oct 1886; Mary L. b Feb 1887; Eddie F. b. May 1889; Thomas Parr b. Jan 1892; Margurite b May 1894; Annie b. July 1896; and Marie b June 1897. I am most eager to contact any descendants of the Parr/Campbell family. I do wish I knew something about the circumstances between E. Neville Vaughn and Sarah Parr but I do not. Sarah Parr's mother is actually the person I am most interested in at present. She was Sarah Smith, wife of Thomas W. Parr (son of William Parr), and d/o George W. Smith and wife Maria Freeman of Culpeper CO., VA.Her home and that of Thomas Parr was located at Brandy Station in Culpeper, and when the War between the States began, Sarah took her family to Amherst to be near other relatives. It is thought from correspondence between her and friends that she died in childbirth sometime during the mid 1860's. Now the interesting item regarding the Green surname is that Thomas W. Parr, after his wife Sarah Smith died, married a second time to Rebecca Green on 28 January 1873. Perhaps even more interesting is that Thomas W. Parr moved to McLennan County, Texas. My search has been for Sarah Smith's burial site in Amherst CO. I believe she would have been living near William Parr in what the census records denote as the Pedlar Twp. Her grave is probably unmarked. Any information relative to Sarah Smith Parr, first wife of Thomas W. Parr is sought. I regret this gives you no further information regarding Neville Vaughn.
