Additional Information

  1. Y-DNA testing: According to David Vaughan's Geni Profile[24], his paternal DNA haplogroup is R-M269. Direct descendant William Vaughan, based on his autosomal test from FamilyTreeDNA[25], proves this haplogroup. [aDNA is very unreliable this far back. yDNA shows no William in his ancestry. David Robertson.]
  2. Y-DNA testing: [8] David Vaughan and his male descendants carry the yDNA mutation DYS560=25, which started with him, along with the yDNA mutation DYS552 = 25. which started with his father Isham Vaughan. He is in the FTDNA Vaughan Project, Subgroup 05 Cyan, Kit number 292933.

David was born about 1746. He was the son of Isham Vaughan. He passed away about 1800.

Regarding David Vaughan's status as a Patriot in the American Revolution, he is formally recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution with this listing:

https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A118301 While it lists his wife as Catherine Anderson, it gives his birthplace and date as 1750 in Culpeper County, Va. Is it possible that the David Vaughan born abt 1746/1750 in Amelia County, son of Isham, is the same person? They appear to have the same wife. David Vaughan is my 4th great grandfather by virtue of the union of his granddaughter, Alzera G. Vaughan, to my second great grandfather, George Henry Wells. David Vaughan left a will in 1825 showing he was residing in Lunenburg County at the time. It names his sons but no mention of his wife, indicating she likely predeceased him.
