Dinah Baker was born on October 25, 1704 in Kingstown (now North Kingstown) Rhode Island. Her parents are generally said to be Benjamin Baker and Mary (Havens) Baker. Online trees are generally unanimous on this, though solid documentation has yet to be found.
She married David Vaughan in Kingstown in 1725 or 1726. David and Dinah's family moved from Rhode Island to Dutchess County, New York about 1758. [1]
David Vaughan died in 1761 at Beekman, Dutchess, New York.[2] After his father's death in 1761 Daniel Vaughan emigrated to Chester, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia with his mother Dinah and younger brother Anthony to join his older brother John.[3]
