Biography

Research Notes

Evidence suggests that he was married three times.

His first wife was Martha Jane Carroll, she was the mother of at least 7 of his 8 children. If the following is true then she would have died sometime between 1888, when their daughter Emzie E Vaughan was born, and 1894.

His second wife could be a Mrs. Martha Mackey(Maiden name unknown). The 1900 US Census (see sources below) shows him living in Texas with a Martha born 1854 in Missouri, USA. This conflicts with the information about Martha Jane Carroll as previous censuses show her being born c.1852 and in Iowa. That same census lists four step-children in the household. Dave Mackey, age 22, born Indian Territory; Neta Mackey, age 18, born Indian Territory; Jas Mackey, age 13, born Indian Territory; and Wiley Mackey, age 10, born Indian Territory. A C.C. Vaughan and Mrs. Martha Mackey were married in Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, USA on August 4, 1894. If this is the right C.C. Vaughan then his youngest son Joseph Locial Vaughan would not be the son of Martha Jane Carroll.

His third wife is Virginia A. (Maiden name unknown). She is living with Christopher Columbus Vaughn in the 1910 US Census. This time in Arkansas. A marriage record has not been found so date and place are unknown. The 1920 US Census has him listed as a widow.
