Portsmouth and Newport Rhode Island and I read from the research, in the book, of the land grants and
possessions of the town of Waterford created and it was dated July 25, 1636. A grant of the great divide, in
this law that, it was giving it out to the freeman, YTo all over the townsmen then inhabiting the town of
Waterford, or 120 of them. The land was divided into four divisions every division being 60 rods in breath
beginning next to the small lots and bonded with the Cambridge line on the northern side and it was next
to the plowed land on the south, which was excluded from that where the Meadows and Waters being
exmpted and those are used for common livestock to be enclosed and defended, I looks it is the first
example of a Homeowners Association I guess.
It further talks about how he got on the ship and the genealogy records of John Vaughan
pronounced ihe name Vaughan, bear it out, it was spelled and extends on the time that the ancient
Welch tribes invaded the Brittany's, which was 300 years or more BC, The aim of this book, that I'm
reading from, is to preserve the records of John Vaughan and then the descendents so far as they could
be procured from town and church records, probate court records, register of deeds etc. also family
papers that were assembled, I had responses to our inquiries about more information, or traditions, in my
line, is that John Vaughan ran away from home and swam to the ship in the harbor and he was not 21,
at the time. He did not go back for his patrimony as he should have done. Then he went to
Watertown .
In Watertown, he is worrying about land and here's some other information John Vaughn
probably came to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 1637, In the Rhode Island colonial records we find the
following quote of the general meeting on the 13th of the seventh month in 1618,
“…by virtue of a warrant, John Vaughn, was with several others, were summoned to
appear before this body for a riot and of drunkenness are then commanded on this 13th
ofthe seventh month. It was the recording. we agreed In order that John, and the others,
should pay five shillings"
So alas, I come to it naturally.
What we also found in the records and t h i s this book was published by the author himself in
Brooklyn Vermont in 1976 and it was John Vaughan who settled in Newport, Maryland in 1638, and
there was a genealogy record of his descendents including 12 brothers branches started by 12 pioneers
who left Rhode Island and it was written by H Vaughan Griffin Junior. Until it was published by the
author and is in the Library of Congress catalog (card number 76 - 47797 ). Copyrighted in the United
States in 1976, by Vaughan Griffin Senior, all rights are reserved. It was printed in Fairhaven, Vermont,
by Ruby printing company and it was bound by the New Hampshire binary Inc. in Concord, New
Hampshire.
That is enough to get started.
