He sought information from Baptists in different areas of the nation and also sought subscriptions for the publication costs. He listed near the end of the second volume of his A General History of the Baptist Denomination in America, and other parts of the World twenty-four pages of subscribers and a number beside the subscriber's name if the person purchased more than one volume. Mr. Benedict's spelling of the person's name was not always accurate, nor were his county locations. It is to be remembered that many new counties were being established in the western states, so he may not have everyone listed as they are more often found. No attempt has been made to change his list. � jrd ________________________________________ The following persons are listed: Subscribers' from Various States A General History of the Baptist Denomination in America, and other parts of the World, 1813. ____________________ KENTUCKY.

Hamilton, clk ********************************************************************************************* NOTES PER PAUL TANNER'S RESEARCH: Abraham Vaughn My grandmother Tanner was a Vaughn. The earliest Vaughn I have traced is Vincent. He is listed in the 1810 census as living in Culpepper County VA. I believe Abraham had ten children which included William Vaughn and Larkin Vaughn. In late 1850 or early 1851, he moved to Highland County, OH to live with or be near one of his sons. He died August 25, 1851. He and his wife, who died in 1856, were buried on what later became part of the Marquis farm-just west of Frederick. There were three gravestones in 1950's-Abraham, his wife, and Larkin.
FROM "THE FAMILY TREE; VAUGHAN" by Norma (Vaughan) Ragland: ABRAHAM VAUGHAN, father of Homer Cornelius Vaughan, was born and reared in Culpeper County, Virginia and there married Mary Polly Weaver, whose family was originally from Pennsylvania and was of German extraction. Abraham Vaughan removed to Kentucky in an early day and settled in Boone County, where he reared his family and where he and his wife both lived until their death. He was a farmer by occupation. *********************************************************************************************
