My research indicates that John Vaught, father of Christley Mitchell Vaught, was born in 1819 to George Vaught (1782-1804) and Barbara Mees (1788-1804) in Virginia. His grandfather was also named Christley Vaught, the son of immigrant Johan Andres Vogt (John Andrew Vaught), who landed in Virginia in 1735 on the ship "Charming Betsy".
