Benjamin Franklin Vaught died in 1867 at Caddo Gap, Montgomery Co., Arkansas, USA.^3,4
     ; Spurlin [1994:V:19]: "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 Germnay. 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 conection, it is more likely that John Vaught is a son of Andrew and Besy Vaught, rather than "William"."⁵

From Wikipedia: "The Battle of Wilson's Creek, also known as the Battle of Oak Hills, was the first major battle of the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War. Fought on August 10, 1861, near Springfield, Missouri, between Federal forces and the Missouri State Guard, it is sometimes called the "Bull Run of the West."
     At the beginning of the war, Missouri maintained an officially neutral status. However, its governor, Claiborne Fox Jackson, began to work to bring Missouri out of the Union by purchasing arms from and fighting alongside Confederate troops. The two sides repeatedly skirmished, most notably in the Camp Jackson affair, the Battle of Boonville, and the Battle of Carthage. Jackson's support for secession resulted in his removal by a constitutional convention in July. Jackson refused to accept the maneuver as valid, and continued to act as governor.
     In early August 1861, Confederates under the command of Brig. Gen. Benjamin McCulloch and Missouri State Guard troops under the command of Maj. Gen. Sterling Price approached Union Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon's Army of the West, which was camped at Springfield. On August 9, both sides formulated plans to attack the other. At about 5:00 a.m. on August 10, Lyon, in two columns commanded by himself and Col. Franz Sigel, attacked the Confederates on Wilson's Creek about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Springfield. Confederate cavalry received the first blow and retreated from the high ground, later referred to as "Bloody Hill," and infantry soon rushed up to stabilize their positions. The Confederates attacked the Union forces three times during the day, but failed to break through. When Lyon was killed during the battle and General Thomas William Sweeny wounded, Major Samuel D. Sturgis assumed command of the Union forces. Meanwhile, the Confederates routed Sigel's column south of Skegg's Branch. Following the third Confederate attack, which ended at 11:00 a.m., the Union withdrew. When Sturgis realized that his men were exhausted and lacking ammunition, he ordered a retreat to Springfield. The Confederates were too disorganized and ill-equipped to pursue the retreating Federal forces.
     The Confederate victory buoyed Southern sympathizers in Missouri and served as a springboard for a bold thrust north that carried Sterling Price and his Missouri State Guard as far as Lexington. In late October, a convention organized by Jackson met in Neosho and passed out an ordinance of secession. Although the state remained in the Union for the remainder of the war, the Battle of Wilson's Creek effectively gave the Confederates control of southwestern Missouri. Today, the National Park Service operates Wilson's Creek National Battlefield on the site of the original conflict."^4,5

     Transcript From: BOONVILLE WEEKLY OBSERVER July 19, 1856 THE PARTICULARS OF THE HANGING OF JAMES RAY, IN MORGAN COUNTY, MO., JULY 8th, BY MOB LAW
     According to a witness (Noah G Kelly) for his daughter Elizabeth on her application for admission (U.S., Native American Applications for Enrollment in Five Civilized Tribes, 1896), James was buried on the Vaught farm (wife Sarah's father) near where the Ray house was located. James Ray's property was less than a mile from Kelly Cemetery.
     Noah G Kelly was married to Malinda Jane Vaught (Sarah's sister) and was the brother of Angeline Kelly who was married to Sarah's brother, Claiborn. Noah's son William is buried here also - apparently one of the few marked stones.
     The Vaught farm was located between Florence and Glensted, sections 33 and 34 of Mill Creek township.
     Kelly Cemetery is located in the SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of section 33. This parcel was originally purchased by John Vaught Jan 1, 1840. John eventually owned most of sections 33 and 34.
     James Ray owned land just to the north: sections 21, 22, and 27.
     While there is no physical proof that James and Sarah are buried here it seems likely they are.⁴
