Notes

I've disconnected daughter Avice., Sir John, Henry and James, but I have been unable to find many details about their father Sir John Vaughn, apparently the Gov. of Londonderry.

His father Thomas Vaughan was prob. a younger son and predeceased his father Sir Charles Vaughan of Dunraven and Francis Knolles of Porthaml.
