Per Spurlin letter of Jan. 1995: "Elizabeth, Andrew Vaught's wife, is in the records on p 3 "Oxcarts". We were told that "Ermentrouts" had always lived in the Frieden Church valley. There are references to Frieden Church as Ermentrouts church. How can this be when the Vaughts owned all the land there from 1744 to 1779? one way would be that Andrew married Elizabeth (Ermentrout?) A wild guess of mine. It would not surprise me however, if Andrew married Elizabeth someone-else!"^1,2,3

JOHN PAUL VAUGHT SECTION 1. FIRST GENERATION INTO AMERICA

John Paul Vaught
John Paul Vaught (Johan Paulus Vogt) was born circa 1680 in Frankfurt, Germany. "The Virginia Germans" by Klaus Wust (2nd printing), page 50 with a reference to the year 1744, has " 'John Bum Gardner' (no doubt Hans Baumgartner), 'native of Risenbach', took his Oath. With him John Paul Vogt of Frankfurt and Andrew Vogt of 'Carlsbad in Germany' became subjects." When anyone took their Oath at the capitol of Virginia, which was Williamsburg in the early 1700's, it was required that they state their place of birth. (see p ???)
A descendant, Chester Vaught, reported that it was a family tradition that John Paul came from Luckenberg, Germany. This small village is near Thalfang which is between Trier and Cochem and near the Mosel River. Luckenberg is too small to have a church or to appear on most maps. Any church records would be with those of Thalfang. Dr. Helmut Hilgenfeld, a priest and a local historian in Thalfang, Germany, did not find any Vogts in the records there. Dr. Hilgenfeld stated that, in his opinion, John Paul Vogt could have been a stranger to the district. Strangers were not allowed into the district by the Bishop of Trier who was the small Lord in charge. However, a few millers were allowed in. As strangers the millers had no rights. For example, they could not hold land. This could be one reason that John Paul Vogt emigrated. The fact that John Paul was from Frankfort and later from Carlsbad, supports the opinion of Dr. Hilgenfeld that John Paul was a stranger to Luckenberg.
John Paul was married to Maria Catherina some time between 1704 and 1714. She was also known as Catherina Margret. Catherina, Catharina, or Katrina are German spellings of Catherine as Maria is the German spelling of Mary, Margret is the German spelling of Margaret, and Andreas is the German spelling of Andrew. Their children were Catherine Margret, Mary Catherine, John Andrew, and John Casper. (See doc pp ???) The "Charming Betty" out of London, John Ball Master, arrived in Philadelphia, PA on 11 October 1733 and had Johan Vogt 53, Andreas Vogt 12, Casper Vogt 8, Maria Vogt 46, Catherina Vogt 18, and Maria Vogt 16. (source---"Pennsylvania German Pioneers" Vol 42, pp 134-136.) German names on the roster were Katner, Meakle, Gruber, Vogt, Leebegoot, Spag, Burger, Imler,Stoker, and Heltsell. The only German name on the ship roster that was later associated with John Paul Vogt was "Burger".
Spellings for the Vogt name in the old records include Vaught, Vought, Vault, Vaut, Vot, Faut, Faught, Fought, Fog't, Full, Wacht, Waught, Waugh, Wocht, Nacht, Bellfaught, etc.
John Paul and his family arrived in Philadelphia in Oct. 1733. By Jan 1735, John had his first land patent. From Oct. 1733 to Jan 1735 he arrived at, settled on, and probably built a home on, his land in an area of German settlement in the Northern Neck of Orange County, VA. Much of the land in the Great Fork between the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers in what is today Madison and Culpeper Counties, VA, was settled by Germans. John Paul's patent for 640 acres of land in Orange County, VA was recorded in Jan. 1735. John Paul's land adjoined that of Christian Clements. (see map p ???) Christian's land was on Deep Run and was patented 21 Nov. 1734, a few months before John Paul got his patent. Both John's and Christian's land would today be in Madison County, VA near the Culpeper County line and on State Route 609. The road was originally Bloodworth's Trail, then Bloodworth's Road, and then State Route 609. Neighboring land owners were John Hufman, Capt. Robert Green, Capt. Henry Fields, Jr., Mr. Thornton, Capt. Benjamen Roberts, Thomas Kenerly, Joseph Bloodworth ((Bloodworth's land was later Capt. Roan's), Samuel Coleman, Conrade Amberger, and Doct Tennant.
Christian Clements married one of John Paul's daughters, probably Catherine Margret, since Christian's wife was often referred to as Catherine. The marriage probably took place before the move to the Great Valley, perhaps as early as 1735. John Paul may have attended the Hebron Lutheran Church which is still in use in Madison County, VA.
John Paul Vaught and his wife Mary Catherine sold 170 acres, part of his original patent, to William Caul on 7 Jul. 1744. John Paul also sold 470 acres, the rest of the patent, in 1744 to John Thomas for 5 schillings. John Paul may have moved to the area of the Masanutten Mountain between Jul. 1744 and October 1744. John patented 400 acres of land on a north draft of the North River of the Shenandoah 20 Sept. 1745. This was the 400 acres that he "purchased" from David Logan in 1744. John Paul lived near to John Baumgartner on the North River. (see Chalkley item 5 below) (see map p ???) Christian Clements patented land on the SE side of the South River of the Shenandoah 25 Sept. 1746. In 1749 John Paul Vaught and Christian Clements had a survey run on land on South River. (see Chalkley item 6 below)
The year that John Paul Vaught moved to the Great Valley of VA, 1744, a peace treaty between the Germans and the Indians took place at a spring that is now in the courtyard of Friedens Church. A log cabin was built on the edge of John Paul's land and next to the spring in 1744. It was used as a church by two denominations, the Lutherans and the Congregationalists. The church was named for the peace treaty, "Friedens Kirke" or "Church of Peace". In 1749 this church and its records burned. Another church was built in 1750. This one was rebuilt in 1762 and is still in use today. The church records from 1750 to 1785 are missing but it is believed that they still exist. Some day they may be released to the local Historical Society. Many birth dates for the grandchildren of John Paul will be in these baptismal records. All of John Paul's grandchildren by his two sons were born in the Friedens Church valley.
John Paul died in 1761 at his home ten miles from Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley. When he moved there, the county was Orange. When he died there, the county was Augusta. Today the county is Rockingham. John Paul's will was dated 9 Oct. 1759 and was proved 18 Aug. 1761. His estate sale and appraisal was dated 10 Sept. 1761. (see Chalkley items 1 and 2 below) Besides his sons Andrew and Gaspar, only one daughter, the one who married Christian Clements, is mentioned in John's will. It is therefore assumed that the other daughter died without issue prior to Oct. 1759, the date of John's will.

per Jim Wilhite.^3,9,10,11,12 GAV-6. John Paul (Johann Paulus) Vogt was also known as John Paul Vaught. John Paul (Johann Paulus) Vogt was also known as John Paul Vaut.
; From Richard Vaught Email 16 Nov 2021:
     "1) THE Vogt we are all from is Johann Vogt of Hunalstein (1080) and yes, like you another John! It appears he allied himself as did his father and grandfather with the prince(s) of Trier and that alliance lasted until 1523 when Franz von Sickingen destroyed the Vogt castle and their lands/holdings in his war with the prince of Trier to the demise of the prince’s power and authority also: see note at bottom. All the younger sons that Johann had could not inherit the title, so most stuck out on their own going and settling around Frankfurt AM, then later to Hanover and somewhere around the early 1500s into the Netherlands where the name Vogt became Voogt as the Dutch added a “o” to the name (more on that later). This would be the pattern for the next couple of hundred years until the destruction of the castle and lands in 1523 and what was left they moved to Loiraine which became the thriving center under them until they were destroyed by the French King in 1766 when the King took everything. They were granted the titles of count and countess.
     "The Vogt grew in wealth as they were traders, millers and merchants and Frankfurt Am was a hub. In fact, Johann Paulus’s fourth great grandfather Hans Adolarus Vogt whom was born in Thueringen, Germany and mention is made of a “noble family from Hunalstein” that he was from. I therefore, after talking to Dr Marcus Niehorstor of Neustadt, Germany who has helped me so much with German records and such, that he had to be related otherwise, no such mention would have been made. This was mentioned in records that described him as a “wealthy merchant of trade of Frankfurt AM” that Marcus found but copies are not available as due to age; you can look and research but not make copies—that is something I ran into a lot in Germany plus their privacy laws due to the Nazis. The date of this record or mention was 1568 when he would have been about 40.
     "So I have found or I should say, Marcus and I found that Johann Paulus’s father was:
     "All this ties in pretty much to the flow of movement by the original count’s younger sons as Frankfurt AM would have been under the protection of the prince of Trier and his allies, so it makes sense to go to a region where one has connections and protection, especially in the 12th/13th/14th/15th centuries. That is an assumption I am making but it seems logical to me to do so. Over the years they spread out and grew in wealth and connections as evident that ALL the Vogt who came over on the Charming Betty which just blows my mind when I see how many did, ALL had their own personal quarters on the ship which were damn expensive and not in the cargo hold with the rest of the Germans. Plus all had money to purchase cattle, horses, guns, etc to move on after their arrival into the US ports/cities; and horses, oxen and guns were very expensive to say the least.
     "What else I have found that is damn near every Vaught/Faugth/etc today in the US is a direct descendent of a handful of Vogt from Germany. Everyone of us are from the following and damn near everyone came over on the ship Charming Betty out of England—go figure that one out as I damn sure haven't:
     "From what I can surmise is that Johann Paulus Vogt left Germany because his father died in 1730 and the reports from America were very favorable especially the idea of cheap land to be had for the taking. Would I have gone at his age, probably and why not? The other questions is: were they related? I would say yes as it is unrealistic to think that they all live in the same region, with the same last names, powerful and wealthy, and not know each other or be related. That just does not pass the logic test by any standard. I think they were all first cousins, while some others may have been 2nd cousins but they knew each other, and some were brothers. People who have money and power always tend to concentrate together for protection and such, and especially during those times."

Source: Wil Vaught, 31 July 1999 email (wil.vaught@gods-open-door.org), citing: http://www.rootsweb.com/~GENHOME/imm10b.htm.¹³ John Paul (Johann Paulus) Vogt was naturalized on 20 October 1744 at General Court, Virginia, USA; "The Virginia Germans", Klaus Wust, The University Press of Virginia, Charlottesville (1969), p. 50:The residence requirement was fixed at seven years prior to application. Upon taking a prescribed oath before the chief judge or any other judge of the colony, else foreign-born Protestant was, with a few limitations, granted the same rights which every natural-horn subject of Great Britain enjoyed. Numerous adult members of the Robinson River colony were naturalized at Orange County court in January and February 1742/43. The county clerks usually failed to specify the place of origin other than with the general remark "born In Germany.
     Some Germans went to the colonial capital for the ceremony. The clerk of the General Court recorded detailed information on each case and by doing so gave some indication of the places In German-speaking lands where the immigrants came from. Not all of the place names can be identified although the clerks of the court in Williamsburg struggled valiantly with the phonetic reproductions of German geographic names. Opequon settler Peter Stephan "of Hildelburgh" (Heidelberg) "on the River Mayne, in the Empire of Germany, who has resided for the space of seven years or more In that part of Orange County designed to be called Frederick," in October 1743 became a royal subject. A year later, "John Bum Gardner" (no doubt Hans Baumgartner), "native of Risenhach," took his oath. With him John Paul Vogt of Frankfurt and Andrew Vogt of "Carlsbad In Germany" became subjects. In April 1745 the General Court dispensed with the requirements for swearing the oath and submitting proof of having received the holy sacrament within three months prior to their appearance for Philip Lung of Saarbrucken and Nicholas Lung, "a native of Wigsden," both Mennonites from Massanutten. They were admitted to naturalization upon simple "affirmation" as "Quakers."^10,14

His estate was probated on 11 August 1835 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA.⁵

George Vaught died before 12 August 1835 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA.^6,5
      ; From Spurlin [1994:7-8]: "George Vaught, s/o Andrew and Elizabeth Vaught, was b ca 1745 in Augusta Co., VA. He appears as teste on a document in 1763.(see Chalkley item 3 above) If he had to be 21 to be a "teste" then he was b ca 1742. If he only needed to be 18 then he was b ca 1745. George married Christiana Phillippi, a daughter of John and Barbara (Eichelberger) Phillippi. They married ca 1781. A deed dated 9 Oct. 1823 Wythe Co., VA has the following "...between Christopher Phillipy and Elizabeth his wife, George Vaught and Christiana his wife, Christian Vaught and Elizabeth his wife, Frederick Copenhaver and Eva his wife, Henry Cullop and Caty his wife, Henry Baugh and Margaret his wife, Peter Wisely and Magdalena his wife, Mary Amey, John Steffey and Rosanah his wife, and 8arbara Phillipy, heirs apparent of John Phillipy deceased of the one part..." The Eichelberger genealogy is included in "The Rosenbaum -Rosenbalm Family of Southwest Virginia" by Clifford R. Canfield. Christiana Phillippi was b 12 Dec. 1763 in PA. (see "The Phillippi Family Tree" by Royer and Strahley) Christiana's age is consistent with a wife of third generation Vaughts rather than 2nd generation Vaughts. There is a considerable difference in age between George and Christiana.

     During 1774, George spent 41 days in Smith's Company. He was mustered out in 1775 because he owned a mill. However, in 1781, George was in Captain Love's Company.
     The will of George Vaught was dated 13 Mar 1825 and was proved 11 Aug. 1835, Wythe Co., VA. The will names sons David, John, Andrew, George, Peter, Charles, Joseph, Jefferson, and Abraham. It also names daughters Mary, Elizabeth, and Christiana. There was also a son Stephen who died young. Many descendants of George are in VAUGHT Vol. 3.⁷ George Vaught was also known as George Faught.^8,9 He witnessed the Land Transaction of John Andrew (Andreas) Vaught and Elizabeth (?) on 12 February 1763 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA; Spurlin [1994:V:7]: "He appears as teste on a document in 1763" [citing Chalkey] August Co., VA, "(eed Book 11, p. 107) - 12 Feb 1763 Andrew Belfaught and elizabeth his wife to Christian Clemans for 5 pounds; 266 acres, part of 400 acres patented to John Balfaut 20 Feb 1745.

George Vaught appeared on the census of 1782 in the household of David Vaught at Montgomery Co., Virginia, USA;

On the same day, Henry granted 130 acres of his share to Christley Vaught for 10 opounds. In 1788, the old survey (1753-54) was assigned to Gaspar Vaught, viz, 200 acres to Adam Dutton and 200 acres to Philip Dutton. In 1790 (Survey Book D, p. 61, item 463) Gaspar Vaught re-surveyed the 600 acres on Reed Creek that were in the name of Andrew Vaught. The old survey was apparently being settled.
     The above land maneuvers tend to paint a pirture of estate settlement, and it is possible that Andrew Vaught, Sr. [i.e., John Andrew], died ca 1787 in Montgomery co., VA.^14,15

George Vaught left a will on 13 March 1825 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA; per Spurlin [1994:V:8] "The will names sons David, John, Andrew, George, Peter, Charles, Joseph, Jefferson, and Abriana. It also Names daughters Mary, Elizabeth, and Christiana."^5,18

George Vaught and Christiana Barbara Phillippi appeared in the census of 1830 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA;
George is on the same page as at least six of his children: David, Peter, George, Charles, Abram and Elizabeth. There are two Georges on this page, one older than the other so likely father and son. The people listed in this household seem to match George and his wife, plus four children, plus an unidentified femail child ("under 5").
     Spurlin [1994:V:8] speculated that the two elderly people in the household of the elizabeth VAUGHT on the same page were George's dau. Elizabeth with George and Christiana in her household. I cannot reconcile the two separate listings, George the elder and Elizabeth. GA Vaut

George Vaught was listed as a resident in Elizabeth Vaught's household in the census report in 1830 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA;
This Elizabeth appears on the same census page as six other VAUGHTs. Spurlin [1994:V:8] speculated that this was Elizabeth, the dau. of George and Christiana (Phillippi) Vaught, and that the Geo. and Christiana were elderly man and woman living with her. However, there are two George VAUGHTs listed separately on the same page: one of them aged 70-79 with an elderly woman aged 60-69, who would also match George and Christiana (Phillippi) Vaught. That George has a woman aged 20-29 in his household who could have matched Elizabeth (b1808), as well as three others who match three of Elizabeth's siblings. nI cannot reconcile the two listings George the elder and this Elisabeth.

     John Vaught was born circa 1747 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA; CompuServe e-mail Dec. 31, 1994 from L.WALDMAN1 (Lisa) shows date of birth as 1742.² He married Esther (?) circa 1768.²

John Vaught died circa 1806 at Blount Co./Carter Co.?, TN?, USA.³
     Reference: Spurlin [1994:V:8]: "John Vaught, s/o Andrew and Elizabeth Vaught, was b ca 1747 in Augusta Co., VA. John was the first Vaught to appear in the records of the Wythe Co. area, therefore he was probably one of the oldest sons. John was in the militia in 1772, was over 16, so was born before 1756. A commissioner's certificate (1782) for 198 acres on the N side of the South Fork of the Holston River, settled in 1769, was surveyed in 1775. (see p 100 "Vol. II Montgomery Co., VA Warrents" by Mary Kegley) To own land a man had to be 21. If John was 21 in 1769 he would have been born by 1748. John may have gone to SW VA two years ahead of the rest of the family. Andrew's sale of land recorded in 1774 indicates that Andrew was still in Augusta, Co., VA in 1774. However, some more of the family besides John seem to have been in Fincastle Co., VA in 1773. At least two of the sons of Andrew may have gone south to clear land and build a cabin for the rest of the family. All of the family are there by 1774.
     John had land on the North Fork of the Holston R. in 1789. John was on the 1789 Montgomery Co., VA list of tithables. John was in Captain Love's Company in 1781. John's wife was Esther. John was on the tax lists of Carter Co., TN by 1796. John's will was dated 1806 in Carter Co., TN. He names a son Joseph and two daughters, Elizabeth Heaton and Barbara Howard. It seems odd that there were only three children mentioned in his will. He might have had more children who were either dead by 1806 or lived somewhere else. An example might be the Gaspar Vaught in Blount Co., TN in 1787."⁴

John Vaught lived in 1772 at Fincastle Co., Virginia, USA.⁵

John Vaught began military service in 1772 at Fincastle Co., Virginia, USA, per Spurlin [1994:V:27]: "John was in the militia in 1772 in Fincastle Co., VA."²

; per Spurlin [1994:V:12]: "The Vaughts in sw VA were suimpathetic to the Loyalists, and not to the revolution. on 18 apr 1779, in Montfomery County, Michael Henninger claimed in court that a group of 4,000 men under John Griffith had shown Loyalist sympathies. This group included John and David Vaught and "the old Vaught who owned the mill". At the trial of these men, John and David were released on their good behavior. Andrew Vaught of Cripple Creek was included in the group with Loyalist sympathies by the testimony of Peter Kinder on 17 Aug 1780 (This would have been Andrew Vaught, Jr.) These Germans took their Oath to King George seriously. They nearly all named a son "Groerge". John and David Vaught were later fined 1000 pounds each.. John, David, and Andrew Vaught went to TN ca 1787 to 1795. It is possible that John and David left the county and state rather than pay such a heavy fine."⁶ He witnessed the beginning of military service of George Vaught in 1781 at Montgomery Co., Virginia, USA; From SAR Application #55110: " George Vaught, and four brothers, John, Christley, David, and Casper, Privates in Captain William Love's Company from Montgomery County, Virginia. 1781 Revolutionary War

Two sons remained in Wythe Coo., VA and died there: Christley in 1830 and George in 1835. Of the 7 sons of Andrew...three left wills (George, Christley, and John).

      ; Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "David Vaught, s/o Andrew and Elizabeth Vaught, was b ca 1755 in Augusta Co., VA. David was at least 17 when he was in the militia in 1774 and trekked through TN. David spent 87 days in Captain Floyd's Company. He was in Captain Love's Company 5 Apr. 1781.      David was on the 1782 tax list of Montgomery Co., VA. He had land surveyed on Reed Creek. (Survey Book D, item 470) David bought land on the South Fork of the Holston River in Aug. 1779. David and his wife Margaret sold land in Wythe Co., VA in 1792. Davld's wife was Margaret Dobler. Another spelling was Tobler. Margaret was the sister of Betsy (Dobler) Vaught who was married to David's brother Andrew. (see Wythe Co., VA will book 1-- Will of Jacob Dobler dated 17 Sept. 1817. Jacob names among others, daughters Margaret Vaut and Betsy Vaut) David and Margaret may have married ca 1776. David was in Blount Co., TN before 1800.
     Children of David and Margaret may have been Andrew, David, Sarah, Jacob, Kity, Peggy, Mary, John, Anna, Elizabeth, and Melinda.
Spurlin [1994:V:15-20]:
     "SECTION 3. JOHN PAUL VAUGHT THIRD GENERATION - CHILDREN OF DAVID VAUGHT AND ANDREW VAUGHT JR.
     Andrew Vaught Jr. did not pay his taxes in Wythe Co., VA in 1787. The reason given on the tax list was that he had gone to NC. However, in 1787, TN was part of NC. David Vaught and his wife Margaret sold their land in Wythe Co., VA in 1792 and went to TN after that.
     David and Andrew Jr. married sisters. The Doblers were a Wythe Co., VA area family. John Vaught was in Fincastle Co., VA in 1772. All the family was there by 1774. Was John the only one of the sons to go to Fincastle Co. in 1772 or did other older or younger brothers go with him? It is likely that one or two did, to clear land, etc. Gaspar, brother to David, Andrew, and John, was married by 1774 to Elizabeth Butcher. The Butchers were an Augusta Co., VA family, not Wythe Co. Gaspar was probably not one of the sons to go south in 1772. George was not married, was most likely the oldest son and may have traveled with John. David was about 17 in 1772 and probably did not go south in 1772. That would mean that he could not have married before 1774 but he could have married as early as 1774/75.
     Jacob Dobler (or Tobler) in his will dated 1817 in Wythe Co., VA names his five children as Margaret Vaut, Anne Cook, Sarah "Sally" Miller, Esther Davis, and Susannah Miller. He names his daughters Betsy Vaut and Rachel Marshall as deceased and also the wife of Michael Cassell (his daughter Catherine) as deceased. His only son was Jacob Dobler, Jr. Margaret Dobler Vaut was listed first as if she might be the eldest child of those still living. She may even be the oldest child. Jacob Dobler and Anna Maria Hough were married 23 Sept. 1756 in Bethel, PA. ("Early Settlers of Old Mount Airy" by J. Cameron) Therefore Margaret could have been born circa 1757.
     David Vaught was in the militia in 1774, so had to be at least 17 and born before 1757. He may have been born circa 1754/5. Andrew Vaught Jr. was not in the militia in the early 1770's and the reason may be that he was not old enough. Andrew Vaught Jr. was the last of the seven brothers to appear in the original records of Wythe Co., VA and was probably one of the younger brothers, born circa 1757-1759. It is assumed that Andrew Vaught Jr. is younger than David Vaught and that Elizabeth "Betsy" Dobler is younger than her sister Margaret. Betsy may be 3-6 years younger.
     David Vaught is in the 1800 tax list of Blount Co., TN. No other Vaughts are listed there at that time. Andrew Vaught in the Blount Co., TN militia in 1801 was probably the Andrew Vaught who married Susanna Broyles in 1800. He will be referred to as Andrew(III). In 1798 an Andrew Vaught is on the tax list in Grainger Co., TN. In 1802 Andrew is on the Anderson Co., TN tax list. Anderson Co. was formed from Grainger and Knox in 1801. After 1802 this Andrew disappears from Anderson Co. Anderson Co. is only a short distance (30 miles?) across 2 rivers from Blount Co. This could be Andrew Vaught, Jr. He may have returned to Blount Co. and died there. Maybe Andrew Vaught Jr. was in Blount Co. until Cathren's marriage in 1797 and returned before Mary's in 1802? Perhaps Andrew had land in Anderson Co., TN but lived elsewhere, or vice-versa. Many of the early Blount Co., TN records are missing so it is not possible to know for sure. David Vaught and his wife Margaret Dobler and Andrew Vaught and his wife Betsy Dobler died before 1820 in Blount Co., Monroe Co., or Anderson Co., TN. It will be difficult to determine their families. Some clues do exist. Margaret Dobler Vaught (born circa 1757 married circa 1776)could have had children from 1777 to 1800. Betsy Tobler Vaught(born circa 1759/60 married ca 1778) could have had children from 1779 to 1802. This is, admittedly, a conservative estimate and intended only as a guide in analyzing the marriage applications of early Blount Co., TN that follow:
     Cathren Vaut to George Broiles 16 Jan 1796
     Sarah Vaught to Ephraim Howard 23 Jun 1797
     Andrew Vaught to Susanna Broiles 16 Dec 1800
     Mary Vaught to Jacob Broiles 19 Apr 1802
     Henry Vaught to Catherine Witenberger 26 Apr 1804
     Jacob Vaught to Polly Calbourne 16 Apr 1805
     Rachel Vaught to John Condron       27 Jun 1805
     Elizabeth Vaught to Benjamen Franks 27 Feb 1807
     Kity Vaught to John Howard       8 Oct. 1807
     Peggy Vaught to James Madden 24 Aug. 1809
     Mary Vaught to David Waid 8 Dec 1812
     Malinda Vaught to Michael Ghormley 12 Feb 1814
     Joseph Vaught to Eavy (Pross?)      16 Mar 1816
     Anna Vaught to Willis Webb       16 July 1817
     Elizabeth Vaught to Joshua Parks 13 July 1820
     David Vaught to Nancy Harmon 5 Aug. 1820
     All the above marriages are for Vaughts who were born 1777 to ca 1800. Therefore the above Vaught children are children and not grandchildren of either Andrew Jr. or David Vaught. The earliest marriages above (1796, 1797) are for Vaught girls. The next marriage was that of Andrew Vaught (III). He left a will. His children are known. Next, another Vaught girl married in 1802. The first unknown Vaught birth of concern here would not be until 1805 and would be from Henry Vaught and Catherine Witenberger.
     Starting with Andrew Vaught Jr. where two children of Andrew and Betsy are known from the Kimberling Church baptismal records of Wythe Co., VA (by name Mary and Henry), other children of Andrew may be decided upon by using circumstantial evidence related to the known children. Other children of Andrew and David born in VA were not in the baptismal records there.
     "The Broyles Family" by Arthur Leslie Keith (1970) has the family of Adam Brile (Broyles) and his wife Elizabeth as:
          George Broyles married Cathren Vaut
     twins Jacob Broyles and married Mary Vaut
          Isaac Broyles
          Adam Broyles
          Mary Broyles
          Rebecca Broyles
          Susanna Broyles married Andrew Vault (i.e. Vaught)
     The Broyles that married Vaughts were brothers and sister. In the days when transportation was by foot, by boat, or by horse, children, in general, married neighbors. The Broyles, Franks, and Vaughts were neighbors on 9-mile creek in Blount Co., TN. They were within walking distance of Chota, the main capitol city of the Cherokee. It is reasonable to assume that the Vaughts who married into the Broyles were sisters and brother. That then gives four children to Andrew and Betsy Vaught: Andrew III, Cathren, Mary, and Henry.
     The 1810 census in Madison Co., AL has George Broiles, George
Broiles Jr., Jacob Broiles, and John Condron. Rachel Vaught who married John Condron, could be a sister of Cathren Vaught Broiles, wife of George Broiles, and a sister of Mary Vaught Broiles, wife of Jacob Broiles. Later, Joseph Vaught and Benjamin Franks were in Madison Co., AL also. Joseph was still in Blount Co., in 1816. Although Joseph went to Madison and Jackson Co., AL he did return to Lawrence Co., TN by 1850. By 1840 Cathren Broyles, widow of George Broyles, was in Jackson Co., AL living next to Hiram Vaught and Benjamen Vaught. Hiram Vaught, Isaac Vaught, John Vaught, and William Vaught were in Jackson Co., AL before 1820. William Vaught is a known brother to John Vaught and Benjamin is a s/o John Vaught. Hiram and Isaac are only 7-11 years younger than John so they are probably younger brothers of John. Sally Vaught was in AL before she married. When the family went to AL, it looks as if John and William had the younger brothers, Hiram and Isaac, with them, and either Cathren or Mary had the younger sister, Sally, with her. Why didn't Andrew III keep the younger children since he was staying in Blount Co.? Because he was not a part of the family? Benjamin Franks and his wife Elizabeth Vaught are also in Jackson Co., AL by 1840. Benjamin Franks of Madison Co., AL sold land in Jackson Co., AL to Hiram Vaught of Jackson Co., AL on 8 Oct. 1834. If it is assumed that these Alabama Vaughts and Broyles were one family, then a total of three assumptions have been made. Each assumption is based on some evidence, but weak enough evidence that the conclusion must at this time be only an assumption.
     Joseph, John, William, Elizabeth, Hiram, Isaac and Sally would have been born in TN.
     Andrew (III) stayed in Blount Co. and died there. The only reason that Andrew (III) may be a son of Andrew Jr. is because he married Susanna Broyles. Now that a pattern is clear for the children of Andrew Jr., namely that they all went to AL before 1810, it is seen that Andrew (III) does not fit the profile for the rest of the above tentative family. If he was a son of Andrew, why did he not keep any of Andrew's minor children when the rest of the family went to AL.? David Vaught was older than Andrew, Jr. and Margaret Dobler was older than Betsy Dobler. Andrew (III) was the oldest of the children and therefore could be a son of David and Margaret, the oldest. Germans did not have a habit of naming their children after themselves or their parents. They did name their children after the Godparents. Andrew. Jr. could be the Godparent of David's 1st child and will be placed throughout the rest of this book under David.
     The John Vaught who went to MO was b ca 1790 in VA so he was a son of David rather than Andrew Jr. as Andrew Jr. was in TN and David was in VA in 1790. The John who married Nancy Hatfield is claimed to be a son of a William Vaught who lived in the Washington D. C. area all his life and was born in Germany. No proof is given. John had a son, Caswell, who went to Blount Co., TN from AL to marry Sarah Broyles. Cathren Vaught, widow of George Broyles, was living next door to Benjamin Vaught, son of John and Nancy Vaught, in Jackson Co., AL in 1840. Because of the Broyles connection, it is more likely that John Vaught is a son of Andrew and Betsy Vaught, rather than "William".
     Since Hiram and Isaac seem to have a connection to John in AL, they could be sons of Andrew also. Henry Vaught was in Franklin Co., AL by 1810. The early exodus from TN (including the youngest children) would seem to indicate that the mother and father were dead by 1809. It is known that Betsy (Dobler) Vaught was dead at some time before 1817. Andrew Jr. does not appear again in any TN records after 1802 and if he did he could be confused with Andrew (III).
     Therington Vaught in AL could have been b ca 1805 and be a grandson of Andrew Jr. or he could have been born ca 1804 and be a son of Andrew Vaught Jr. He will be treated as a grandson in this book.
     A Gaspar Vaught was married and working for the government as an artist to the Cherokees in TN in 1797. His existence is a contribution of Kay Gunn of Dallas, TX. He was at the Tellico Blockhouse in 1794. He is in the Blount Co., TN records in 1787 as a "chainman". He would have been at least 15 or 16 to be a chainman for a surveyor. He would be too old to be a son of either David or Andrew who married ca 1775/78. He may have traveled from Montgomery Co., VA with Andrew Vaught, Jr. in 1787. He might have been born circa 1772, married circa 1791. It is not known for sure when Gaspar (Sr.?), brother of David and Andrew Vaught married, but it is conceivable that he married circa 1768/71 in Augusta Co., VA. However, Gaspar (Sr.?)'s last child was b in 1800. If he had Gaspar (Jr.?) in 1772, then Gaspar (Sr.?) had children for a span of 28 years. This is possible. This Gaspar (Jr.?) is at Lookout Mountain (near Chattanooga) in 1802. His children would be marrying somewhere other than Blount Co., TN and therefore would not be in any of the early Blount Co. marriage applications listed above. It is said in Chattanooga today that Gaspar returned to Blount Co., TN but the date that he did so was not reported to this compiler.
     The children not in Andrew Vaught Jr.'s family could be a tentative family of David Vaught and Margaret Dobler.
     The above John was born in VA so would be a child of David and Margaret as they did not leave VA until 1792. Anna, Elizabeth and Melinda would have been born in TN.
     Sarah, Jacob, and David were possibly born about the same time as Cathren, and Mary. Six children born in six years to one mother is possible but this compiler in 30 years of research has never seen a record of such an event. While the incidence of twins in this Vaught line is higher than the average, the birth of twins was primarily the 4th, 5th, or 6th, etc, birth and rarely the 1st or 2nd. "Peggy" is a nickname for Margaret. "Kity" is often a nickname for Catherine and Andrew already has a Cathren. Kity and Sarah may have married "Howard" brothers. Since Andrew Jr. has an Elizabeth and Mary, the above Elizabeth and Mary are assigned to David by default....."⁶

David Vaught began military service in 1774 per Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "David was at least 17 when he was in the militia in 1774 and trekked through TN. David spent 87 days in Captain Floyd's Company."²

; per Spurlin [1994:V:12]: "The Vaughts in sw VA were suimpathetic to the Loyalists, and not to the revolution. on 18 apr 1779, in Montfomery County, Michael Henninger claimed in court that a group of 4,000 men under John Griffith had shown Loyalist sympathies. This group included John and David Vaught and "the old Vaught who owned the mill". At the trial of these men, John and David were released on their good behavior. Andrew Vaught of Cripple Creek was included in the group with Loyalist sympathies by the testimony of Peter Kinder on 17 Aug 1780 (This would have been Andrew Vaught, Jr.) These Germans took their Oath to King George seriously. They nearly all named a son "Groerge". John and David Vaught were later fined 1000 pounds each.. John, David, and Andrew Vaught went to TN ca 1787 to 1795. It is possible that John and David left the county and state rather than pay such a heavy fine."²
David Vaught was mentioned in a land transaction in August 1779 at South Fork Holston River, Virginia, USA,
Memo: per Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "David bought land on the South Fork of the Hoston River in Aug 1779."² He witnessed the beginning of military service of George Vaught in 1781 at Montgomery Co., Virginia, USA; From SAR Application #55110: " George Vaught, and four brothers, John, Christley, David, and Casper, Privates in Captain William Love's Company from Montgomery County, Virginia. 1781 Revolutionary War

     Henry Vaught Sr. was born between 1761 and 1764 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA; per Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "Henry is on the 1782 tax list, so is at least 16 in 1782 and b before 1766...He was over 45 in the 1810 Wythe Co., VA census, therefore b before 1765."³ He married Catharina Dottering, daughter of Phillip Garrad Dutton and Barbara Grinsler, circa 1786
; His 1st wife. per Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "The name of his first wife is from a Greman marriage fraktur for henry's son William."³ Henry Vaught Sr. married Esther Baugh, daughter of Jacob Baugh and Barbara (?), on 28 July 1795 at Wythe Co., Virginia, USA,
; His 2nd wife.^4,5
Henry Vaught Sr. died circa 1833 at Pulaski Co., Kentucky, USA.⁵
Henry Vaught Sr. was buried circa 1833 at Henry Vaught Cemetery, Somerset, Pulaski Co., Kentucky, USA.⁵
     Reference:
Spurlin [1994:V:10-11]: "Henry Vaught, s/o Andrew and Elizabeth Vaught, was b 1761-1764 in Augusta Co., VA. Henry is on the 1782 tax list, so is at least 16 in 1782 and b before 1766. He was over 45 in the 1810 Wythe Co., VA census, therefore b before 1765. Henry married first Catharina Dottering about 1786. The name of his first wife is from a German marriage fraktur for Henry's son William. (see doc pp.???) The name on the fraktur was Catharina Dotteringin. The 'in' or 'en' ending on German Documents was used to show a female, i. e. Catharina Dotteringin, daughter of Mr. Dottering. The baptismal records of the Zion Lutheran Church at Cripple Creek, Wythe Co., VA, in the original German, give the following spellings for Dutton: Dothner, Derting, Derding, Dollinger, and Dutton. In the book by Hoch, Kegly, and Smith "Kimberling Church, Wythe County Virginia Annotated Baptismal and Cemetery Records" the introduction indicates that Doddinger was also used for Dutton. Mr. Cameron in "Early Settlers of Old Mount Airy" indicates that Darting and Darertering are also spellings for Dutton. It is therefore believed that Dottering is another spelling of Dutton. Catherine may have been the d/o Phillip Garrad and Barbara (Grinsler) Dutton. Catharina d in 1794 in Wythe Co., VA. Henry married, second, Esther Baugh 28 July 1795 in Wythe Co., VA.
     Chester Vaught, a great-great-grandson of Henry, listened to stories of the "Vaughts" told to him by his grandfather William K. Vaught. One story was that Henry, with his family and others, traveled by 2 wheel oxcarts to KY, and one of the men lost his wife during the trip. Henry's group of Vaught immigrants joined Gaspar on Pitman Creek in the fall of 1811 and bought land 1811-1815 next to Gaspar. (see maps pp. ???) Certainly it would appear that Henry is closely related to Gaspar, probably a brother. Gaspar's last child was b in 1800. If Henry, b 1764, was a son of Gaspar then Gaspar and Elizabeth had children over a time span of 35 years. This is not likely. On the other hand, if Henry is a s/o Andrew, then Andrew and Elizabeth had children from 1745(?) to 1764, a span of 19(?) years which is reasonable.
     Children of Henry and Catherine were Jacob, William, Elizabeth, and Henry. Children of Henry and Esther were Barbara, Mary, Isaac, Solomon, Anna, Sarah, Jemima, Jeremiah, and Abraham. Many descendants of Henry are in VAUGHT Vol. 4.
     The Vaughts in SW VA were sympathetic to the Loyalists, and not to the Revolution. On 18 Apr. 1779, in Montgomery County, Michael Henninger claimed in court that a group of 4,000 men under John Griffith had shown Loyalist sympathies. This group included John and David Vaught and "the old Vaught who owned the mill". At the trial of these men, John and David were released on their good behavior. Andrew Vaught of Cripple Creek was included in the group with Loyalist sympathies by the testimony of Peter Kinder on 17 Aug. 1780. (This would have been Andrew Vaught, Jr.) These Germans took their Oath to King George seriously. They nearly all named a son "George". John and David Vaught were later fined 1000 pounds each. John, David, and Andrew Vaught went to TN ca 1787 to 1795. It is possible that John and David left the county and state rather than pay such a heavy fine.
     Two of Andrew's sons went to Pulaski Co., KY, Gaspar in 1809 and Henry in 1811. Two sons remained in Wythe Co., VA and died there, Christley in 1830 and George in 1835. Of the 7 sons of Andrew listed above, three left wills George, Christley, and John. This helps determine their families. Henry's family can be put together from several sources, but primarily from the sale of his land ca 1850 in Pulaski Co., KY. That left, by default, only Gaspar, s/o Andrew, as the available parent of any open-ended Vaughts in Wythe Co., VA during the time period 1792-1809."⁶

Henry Vaught Sr. appeared on the census of 1782 in the household of David Vaught at Montgomery Co., Virginia, USA;
The 1782 Personal Property and Land Tax Lists contain the following "VAUGHT/VAULT" records, all of whom seem to match the VAUGHT brothers. The "Barber" VAULT listed is unknown.

Henry Vaught Sr. appeared in the census of 1782 at Tax List, Virginia, USA;
     per Spurlin [1994:V:10]: "Henry is on the 1782 tax list, so is at least 16 in 1782 and b before 1766."³ He was mentioned regarding the death of John Andrew (Andreas) Vaught circa 1787 at Tax List, Montgomery Co., Virginia, USA; from Spurlin, p. 7: "In 1786, George Vaught granted 572 acres on the headwaters of Cripple Creek, to Henry Vaught and to Christley Vaught for 20 pounds. On the same day, Henry granted 130 acres of his share to Christley Vaught for 10 opounds. In 1788, the old survey (1753-54) was assigned to Gaspar Vaught, viz, 200 acres to Adam Dutton and 200 acres to Philip Dutton. In 1790 (Survey Book D, p. 61, item 463) Gaspar Vaught re-surveyed the 600 acres on Reed Creek that were in the name of Andrew Vaught. The old survey was apparently being settled.
     The above land maneuvers tend to paint a pirture of estate settlement, and it is possible that Andrew Vaught, Sr. [i.e., John Andrew], died ca 1787 in Montgomery co., VA.^9,10

;      There are four "Henry Vaughts" in the 1820 federal census for Pulaski Co., KY.: Censuses #1 - #14. "Henry" was a common given name in the early VAUGHT families descending from John Paul VAUGHT/VOGT. Two of the listings in the 1820 census are for a "Henry Jr" and a "Henry Sr", though they are several pages apart (Census #1 on p. 46 and Census #3 on p.49, respectively). In early 19th century usage, this does not necessarily mean that they are father and son: just older and younger (e.g., uncle/nephew or even unrelated).
     I have analyzed the four census listings to see which households might match Henry and Esther (Baugh) Vaught based on the ages of the household members, but none match perfectly. Two of the households seem to be younger families, with the oldest male in Census #1 aged 16 to 26 and the oldest male in Census #3 being 26 to 45. Based on this analysis of older residents, I have concluded that Census enumeration #2 most closely matches the expected Henry and Esther (Baugh) Vaught household, though the match is not perfect. [Censuses #1, #3 and #4 are attached here. Census #2 is attrached to the Census tag for 1820.]
     However, this does not leave an easy resolution as to why if this was Henry Vaught (s/o Andrew, s/o John Paul), why is he recorded as Andrew Junior. I have no good candidate for who the Henry Senior (Census #4, p. 49) might be.

     * I have tried to exclude children who are recorded as having died young or who were married by this date.

Obviously we would expect to find a male and a female in the 45+ category since both Henry and Esther were alive at the time. Only Census #2 matches this criterion. Census #2 also has 8 of the nine household members that would be expected for Henry's household at this time. However, Census #2 appears to fail with regard to the children enumerated:
      Henry had a 5 year old son, Abraham, but Census #2 has no males aged 0 to 10.
      Henry had three daus aged 10-16 and no known daus aged 0 to 10, but Census #2 has two girls aged 10 to 16 and 2 aged 0 to 10. This is not such a serious issue and might be explained by incorrect dates of birth in my data or a miss-classification by the enumerator.
     This analysis ignores the fact that households often contained married children with their spouses and grandchildren, grandparents, unmarried siblings of the husband or wife, or possibly unrelated laborers, etc. All of these can change the structure of the household from that of just parents and children.^14,15,16,17

Henry Vaught Sr. appeared on the census of 7 August 1820 in the household of Henry Vaught and Mary "Molly" Magdalena Wampler at Somerset, Pulaski Co., Kentucky, USA;
This may be a different Henry VAUGHT. There is another Henry Vaught (#2872, son of Henry and Catharina (DOTTERING) VAUGHT, Sr.), who was probably living in Pulaski Co., KY at the same time and was of the correct age (b 1794). In fact, there are four Henry VAUGHTs appearing in the 1820 federal census for Somerset Twp., Pulaski Co., KY (all referenced here and images attached).
     Henry VAUGHT #1 - I have assumed that this is this Henry.
     Henry VAUGHT #2 - This Henry is near a Henry VAUGHT Snr. (Henry #4) and a Jacob VAUGHT.
     Henry VAUGHT Jr. #3 - This Henry is listed as "Jr." and is near a William VAUGHT
     Henry VAUGHT Sr. #4 - This Henry is listed as "Snr." and is near another Henry (Jr?) and a Jacob VAUGHT.

     Christian Clements married Catharine Margret Vaught, daughter of John Paul (Johann Paulus) Vogt and Maria Catharina (Margret) (?), circa 1735 at Virginia, USA,
; Ancestry.com - U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900
Christian Clements died circa 1783; per Helen Spurlin, ms, "Moving in on the Cherokees", Feb. 1, 1994, p. 5:
"Christian Clements' will was dated 13 Feb. 1780, and was proved 18 Mar. 1783 in August County. VA. The will named his wife, Chatherine, the eldest son Gaspar, a son John, a daughter Catherine, wife of George Trout, a grandson David Trout, and mentions but does not name his daughters married to Henry Liner and Philip Burger."³

; Christian Clements died before Mar 15, 1783 in Augusta County, Virginia, when his will was proved.

He married Catharine Margaret Vaught. She was born ca. 1715 in Germany and died ca. June, 1793, when her will was proved. She was the daughter of Johan Paul Vaught and Mary Katrine --.

Christian owned land on Deep Run, which was patented Nov 21, 1734. That land today is in Madison County, Virginia, near the Culpeper County line and on State Route 609. The road was originally Bloodworth's Trail, then Bloodworth's Road, and then State Route 609. A few months later, his future father-in-law, John Paul Vaught, bought land adjacent to his.

On Sep 25, 1746, Christian Clements patented land on the southeast side of the South River of the Shenandoah.

In 1749, Christian Clements and John Paul Vaught had a survey run on land on South River.

On Nov 27, 1755, the following appeared in Augusta County Records (Chalkley's Augusta County Books, page 440):

"Page 139 - By order of Vestry, dated 27 November, 1755, subscribers have processioned all the patroned land within bounds of Cap. William Christian's Company. . . ."

"Page 147 -1755: Samuel Givens processioned as follows. . . Christian Clemons, present, Christian Clemons, Jr; for Geo. Trout, Geo. Trout."

In 1758, Christian Clement was in the Augusta County, Virginia, militia. (Virginia Militia by William Armstrong Crozier, 1905, Volume 2 of his Virginia County Records, page 61)

In 1770, Christian Clemons gave 266 acres in Augusta County, Virginia to John Maharfey for five shillings, Virginia money, and one peppercorn annually thereafter. (Augusta County, Virginia Deed Book 16, pages 297-299) The deed reads, in part:

"Examined and delivered John Maharfey Dec 18th, 1771. This Indenture made the fourteenth Day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy Between Christian Clemons and Catharine his wife of the County of Augusta of the one part and John Maharfey of the County aforesd. of the other part

Christian made his mark, a longhand L, and Catherine's mark was an O.

"At a Court held for Augusta County May 15th 1770 Christian Clemons & Catharine his Wife (she being first privately examined) acknowledged this their Deed of Bargain and Sale to John Maharphy which is ordered to be Recorded. Test: John Madison.
