Research Notes

Grandfather: The identity of Ann's grandfather is disputed, with the Dictionary of Welsh Biography naming him Robert Vaughan of Monmouth, not Roger Vaughan of Tretower, as noted by Dwnn's Visitations of Wales.

From the Dictionary of Welsh Biography:

John married Ann, the daughter of Thomas Vaughan, who married Eleanor Arundel. "He was the son of Robert Vaughan of Monmouth and Margaret his wife. The assertion in History of Parliament (1439-1509) that he was the heir of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower must be rejected." In 1483, "sometime between 13 and 25 June, [Thomas] Vaughan was executed.... Two children of his are recorded: Ann, who married Sir John Wogan of Wiston, Pembrokeshire, and Henry Vaughan, father of Sir Thomas ap Harry (died 1560), who was comptroller of the household to queen Elizabeth."^[5][6]

From Dwnn's Visitations:

"Syr John Wgan, Knt." married Ann, the sole heir of "Syr Tomas Vychan [Vaughan] of Pwmffrett Kt", who was beheaded at Pomfret in 1483. Thomas was "the youngest illegitimate son of Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower by an illegitimate daughter of a Prior of the Monastery of Abergavenny, called Prior coch." Ann's brother was "Harry Vaughan, whose son, Sir Thomas rejected the name of Vaughan, and took that of Parry...."^[7]

From the History of Brecknockshire:

Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower, mentioned in page 3 of this pedigree, besides the children there named had several illegitimate sons and daughters; some of them are noticed as ancestors of several branches of this family;

1. his youngest illegitimate son by an illegitimate daughter of a prior of the monastery of Abergavenny, called Prior coch or, the red haired prior, was named Thomas Vaughan, he was knighted and a great favourite of Richard the third by whose command however he was afterwards beheaded at Pomfret; he married and had issue
   1. a daughter, married to Sir John Wogan of Wiston,
   2. and a son, Harry Vaughan,
      1. whose son Sir Tho Parry, was comptroller of the household and master of the wards to queen Elizabeth, he married Anne, daughter of Sir William Reed of Borestall in Bucks, by whom he had issue
         1. Sir Thomas Parry, chancellor of the exchequer and privy counsellor in 1607; whose wife was Dorothy Brooks one the maids of honour to queen Elizabeth.^[8]
