We are thinking this Prudence Vaughan may have been the wife of
Samuel Vaughan, son of William Vaughan of Buffalo Creek, Mecklenburg
Co., Va. Samuel and Prudence moved to Ky./jgs An interesting thing
- the day I went to Amelia C.H., I had a mental list of things to
check. One was to check out John Smith to see if there was any
evidence of a Gregory hanging around. Another was to check the Hood
records to see if I could tell which Vaughan was connected in any
way with William Hood's family. I found neither, but was
flabbergasted to find that John Smith sold part of his land to
William Hood!
