Talk:George Vaughan (New Hampshire official)

Father described as English military officer? edit

Hadn't heard that George Vaughan's father William Vaughan was an English military officer. Jere R. Daniell in his book Colonial New Hampshire - A history says William Vaughan (d.1719) came to New Hampshire as a representative of a London firm, and married Richard Cutt's daughter and stayed. John Wentworth (Illinois) outlines the Vaughan family on pp. 296-7 of his Wentworth Genealogy. Perhaps a previous contributor is confusing William Vaughan, father of George, with Lieut. Col. William Vaughan (1703 - 1746), George's son who was an early proponent and participant in the 1745 English and New England campaign against the French fortress of Louisbourg?RWIR (talk) 20:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
