SECTION II. Research and History

I started digging back a ways further, and discovered many interesting people named Vaughan.

I have listed two of them in Appendix One Wow! With that kind of ancestry I get better get my butt in gear

The first thing to figure out is where the name Vaughan came from. Vaughan is Welsh..

It is fairly well known that there are a lot of Welsh surnames. In fact some 39 surnames include
about 95% of the Welsh surnames, whenever they are found. There are basically four categories where
they arise from:

[ [1] The Christian names,[1] The Christian names,
[1] The Christian names,1] The Christian names,
[2] England names like Jones, Thomas, Davies and Williams, surnames which are
originally contained with the prefix ap meaning the son-of. Examples of these are
Prichard Richard AP Richard and Bowen APBowen.
[3] The third category would be surnames derived from Galic or Celtic . I see sources like
Lloyd, Morgan, Gwen, Vaughan, and Meredith surnames from English sources which
became well-known in parts of the of Wales.

[4] The fourth is a mixture when people lived on the border areas.

By the 17th century, there had been a decline in the popularity of the names like Gurnee, Madoc,
and Madeleine. The Morgans give the derivation of the surname Vaughan and Tullis to illustrate that it is
really where the name Vaughan came from. FYICHAN or La Sean became Vaughan.

The first great Vaughan family is located in Brendawardia near HEREFORD, Wales. The name of the
family has its origins in the Welsh FYICHAN attached to the name of Rosier, who was killed protecting the
body of Henry V at the battle of Aikencourt in 1415. Rosier's father was Rosier the father had to be Rosier
"the old" and the son of Rosier Lashawn which meant younger Rosier. His sons are called LaShawn,
FYICHAN or Vaughan and it is fairly clear that Vaughan is this generation's surname.

The first known member of this family, I found in CARDIFF, Morganshire, Wales. to have this name
was Lynn LaShawn or FYICHAN or Vaughan around the year of 1250.
The name Vaughan has become the associated with the gentry of the social class.

My ancestors go all the way back to John Vaughan in Wales, in 1687. He was born about 1643 in,
Glamorgan or Glamorganshire, Wales, and he died on July 23, 1687 in Newport Rhode Island. He
married about 1643, in Newport Rhode Island, to Gillian Towsar and she was born about 1622. They had
and some kids, John Vaughan, David Vaughan and so forth.

Glamorgan, as it was known, or sometimes you called it Glamorganshire. It is one of the 13 historic
countries of Wales and a former administrative County of Wales. Originally the it was the medieval, petty
kingdom with varying boundaries. It was taken over by the Normans as a lordship and Glamorgan was
divided into three townships. Initially a rural and pastoral area of Wales and had little value.

The area became known as a conflict point between the Norman Lords and the Welsh princes. The
area being defined by large concentrations of castles after falling under the English rule in the 16th century.
