Att James N. Parkerclk ================================================ NOTES PER PAUL TANNER'S RESEARCH William Vaughn William Vaughn, son of Abraham, married Nancy Ellis in Campbell County on July 24, 1827. John G. Ellis, her father, signed their bond. Nancy was about 15, William several years older. They lived in the Alexandria KY area of Campbell County. In the 1830 census, William Vaughn was listed as being in his 20's, his wife 15-20, and a daughter under 5. By 1840, William Vaughn is listed as a farmer in his 30's, his wife in her 20's, a girl 10 to 15, son and daughter 5-10, and 3 daughters under 5. It appears that William Vaughn died in 1843 or 1844. By 1850, his children were scattered. Five of the six children enumerated under William Vaughn in 1840 fit into the 1850 census, age wise: Amanda 13 and Barbara 11 with their mother. Harriet 19 and Elizabeth 14 with their Ellis grandparents. John G. 16 living with his grandfather, Abraham. The oldest girl (10-15 in 1840) would have been at least 20 and may have been married. This could have been Caroline Lacey, who along with John G., Amanda, and Barbara Mattox sold their interest in Uncle Larkin's land in 1864. The identity of John Ellis Vaughn 6 living with John G. Ellis in 1850 is a puzzle. In 1860, a John Ellis 15 is listed as living with John G. Ellis. John G. Ellis had moved to Covington and was listed in 1850 as a "Christian Clergyman". His household included sons Joel and John, the two Vaughn grand-daughters and "John Ellis Vaughn". William Vaughn's widow, Nancy, must have remarried promptly and started another family. William Johnson, 39, farmer, born in Scotland, included in his Campbell County household in 1850: Nancy Johnson 38 Amanda Vaughn 13 Barbara A. Vaughn 11 Agnes Johnson 5 Rachel M. Johnson 4 Margaret Johnson 2 Ellen Johnson 4 mos. This would indicate that John G. Vaughn had four half sisters named Johnson in 1850. There could have been more half siblings, as Nancy was only 38 at the time. John G. Ellis is listed in Covington in 1860 as a "retired merchant" with $10,000 in real estate. Son, John, living with him, was a "surveyor". In the 1867 Covington KY City Directory, J.G. Ellis was living on the North side of 11th Street between Madison and Scott Streets. J.G. Ellis, Jr. boarding at the same address, was a teacher. In the 1869 Covington KY City Directory, John G. Ellis Sr. had a house at #6 East 11th Street. John G. Ellis, Jr. lived at NE corner of Madison and 11th and was Deputy County Clerk. This directory lists A.C. Ellis as County Clerk and John G. Ellis Jr. as one of his deputies. In the 1870 census John D? (79) and Elizabeth Ellis (76) were listed in the Third Ward in Covington. He was a retired grocer with $15,000 in real estate. John Ellis (37) a school teacher had a wife named Maggie (22) and one child. John G. Ellis does not appear in the 1880 census. John B? Ellis (46) is listed as living on 11th Street in Covington KY with Maggie 33 ; Alexander 11 ; Katie A. 8 ; William H. 6 ; and Lotta M. 4. Note: My middle name "Ellis" came from this family. My grandmother named one of her sons Lloyd Ellis, presumably after her grandmother's maiden name, Nancy Ellis. In 1912, my Uncle Lloyd suggested my Ellis middle name.
