Biography

Dorothy Frances Barksdale was born in 1720 or 1738 in Halifax, Colony of Virginia, daughter of Nathaniel Barksdale and Mourning Dickerson.

She married William Vaughan and they had eight children including:

1. William Vaughan (bef.1800-bef.1843)
2. Susannah,
3. Sally (Vaughan) Weakley (abt.1777-)
4. Drury Vaughan (abt.1772-bef.1843)
5. Elizabeth (Vaughan) Johns (abt.1778-abt.1844)
6. Paul Vaughan (bef.1800-bef.1843)
7. Randolph Vaughan (bef.1800-bef.1843)

Fanny could have passed away sometime before March 24, 1784, as evidenced by Machah & Samuel Dunaway initiating a suit against the estate of Col. William Cole for property which - by the terms of husband William Vaughan's will - they would not have entitlement to until after Dorithy had died.

A memorial was placed for her with death date given as 1811 at Bedford County, Virginia.^[1]

Slaves

In his will, her father left her a slave "Cillia, now in her possession"^[2]

Research Notes

This link https://www.myheritage.com/names/drury_vaughn suggests that Dorithy's middle, and preferred name, was Frances - "Drury Vaughn was born circa 1755, at birth place, Virginia, to William Vaughn and Dorothy "Fanny" Vaughn".

Dorithy's last name is given as "Barksdale" on the Familysearch.org pages, but without any supporting documentation; nor with any posted trees which would seem to accommodate Dorithy's inclusion.^[3]
