His son David came to Union with his family when he was 13. He married in Union in 1794 Aphia PEABODY. They had 7 children born in Union. One of which was his son also David born Aug. 26, 1798 in Union.I was wondering if there are any descendants of this family still living in Union. Thanks for any help you can give me.
VAUGHAN/LEDOYT/GLEASON:
I am looking for any information on the family of Joseph (married Joanna LEDOYT), William or Augustus Vaughan. They lived in the city of Union in the early to mid 1800s.
I am also gathering information on the family of William and Lydia LEDOYT GLEASON who lived in Union.
Hannah VAUGHAN COBB was a widowed sister of Joseph, William and Augustus VAUGHAN. I believe the father of these VAUGHAN siblings was also named Joseph.
I'd love to correspond with anyone related to or interested in these families.
Thank you
