Biography

John was born in 1780, a son of Anthony Vaughan and Anne Armstrong, who were among the founders of Chester, Nova Scotia.^{[1] [2]}

On Feb 11, 1802, he married the widow Rebecca Dolliver^[1], and children included:

1. Jane born 13 November 1802^{[3] [1]}, who married John MacInnes
2. Dorcas, born 30 Nov 1804^{[4] [1]}, who married Tom Cooney
3. Sarah, born December 21, 1806^{[5] [1]}
4. Anthony, born 23 March 1809^{[6] [1]}, a sea-captain who was married to Lucinda, and who died in 1863^[7]
5. Eliza, born 12 Nov 1811^{[8] [1]}
6. Abigail, born 7 Oct 1814^{[9] [1]}, who married John William Keddy
7. Jonathan Smith, born 6 Oct 1817^{[10] [1]}, who married Mary Eliza Rafuse

Its difficult to tell which John Vaughan appears in the 1861 Census, himself, his son, or one of his relations named John (Uncle, cousin). This profile shows only that he likely died in or near Chester.
