Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline?read=1617 Surname: Vaughn ------------------------- I think Benjamin Vaughn came from Virgiina and moved to Rutherford Co., North Carolina. He is in 1782 census of Rutherford CO. Abt 1797 he moved to Caldwell CO., Kentucky with sons Joseph Madison, William, Thomas. He married Levi French's widow Betsy 1808 and his son Joseph Madison married Anna (Susannah Pulliam)French 1800. Joseph had 3 sons by her John Pulliam 1804, Benjamin, Pinkney 1809. Joseph married Sarah Elizabeth (Betsy) Lamb Reaves 1812 and by 1815 he had moved to Wilcox CO., Alabama. Joseph and Sarah had 7 children Larkin, William M, Joseph Madison Jr., Elizabeth, Sarah(Sally), Polly, Katherine(Kathy). Sarah was a widow with 2 children James Leon Reaves 1810, Peggy Reaves. Searching for any info on Benjamin Vaughn, who his first wife was and his parents. There was a Benjamin Vaughn in Caroline Co., VA 1765. Other Vaughns also in Caroline Co., VA.

I wonder how many might possibly be related to J. Thompson or even H. Baldwin?

My face is very red; I had been thinking about the Carmel Baptist Church when I posted the note about Herb Collins speaking at the BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH this last week. It is the Bethel Baptist Church that is celebrating its 200th birthday this year. The article from the Caroline Progress April 5, 2000 was quoted by Peg Price in the Apr 13, 2000 VACAROLI-D #62. It explained that the Bethel Church was organized in 1800 by Andrew Broaddus, pastor of the Burruss Church, now known as the Carmel Baptist Church. There were to be events on Apr 30th, July 9th, and Sept 17, 2000. Please forgive the typo and the distracted brain. Still, if anyone did attend the Bethel Church talk by Mr. Collins, I would gladly cover the costs of a tape copy or a copy of your notes and mailing. I am just hoping that I didn't send anyone on a goose chase looking for the wrong church! Carol

A MARKER OF HONOR FOR REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER BY Linda Wheeler Washington Post Staff Writer The gravestone for Revolutionary War Soldier Joseph Nevitt was nowhere to be found in the old Holy Rood Cemetery in Georgetown when Margaret D. MacKenzie searched for it last year. As state historian of the D.C. Daughters of the American Revolution, it was her job to find it. "My husband and I looked everywhere," she said. "Then we looked behind all these vines and shrubs and saw a piece of it." Surrounded by a carpet of freshly cut stems and trunks, the chipped and earth-stained stone was fully visible yesterday when the DAR held a ceremony to unveil a plaque honoring Nevitt. Such ceremonies used to be common during the first half of the 1900s, when the patriotic organization marked most of the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers across the country. "This is really rare for us to find a grave we haven't marked," MacKenzie said. She found out about Nevitt from amateur historian, Carlton Fletcher, who had been tracing the history of his neighborhood, Glover Park, which at one time included the old cemetery. Fletcher said the name Nevitt showed up repeatedly on property records. Tracing Nevitt's life through the National Archives and other sources, Fletcher found that he had been born in St. Mary's County between 1749 and 1752, fought the British along the Potomac River and moved to Georgetown in 1791. He married Barbara Willet, daughter of a tavern owner, in 1805, at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown. Fletcher said records after that are scant, but Nevitt sold some of the first houses in Glover Park, according to newspaper ads. He obtained a military pension from the federal government for $70. a year just before he died in 1834. He was buried on the far side of the hilly cemetery at 2126 Wisconsin Ave. NW in the Holy Rood Cemetery, owned by Georgetown University. The DAR verified the research Fletcher did and arranged for the plaque and ceremony. Yesterday, a basket of red, white and blue flowers arranged around a small American flag was placed next to the new bronze marker as were several bouquets of garden flowers brought by Glover Park residents. An eight-generation descendant of Nevitt, Donna Burrows Rose, was there also. She had been contacted by Fletcher during his research and he invited her to join them. "I always knew about Nevitt because his name was in the family Bible, but I was not aware of his military record." Rose said. "He was an ordinary person, just like most of us, who did something extraordinary." Nevitt's marker tilts toward the front and is missing a chunk of stone on the left side. That makes his stone one of the better ones in the cemetery where dozens of stones have toppled and been left as they fell. MacKenzie paused at the DAR plaque before leaving. "We do this to honor these soldiers," she said. "Now when someone walks by here, they will say, "My word. There's the grave of a real Revolutionary War soldier." Hope everyone enjoys this story. June
