He was a Private in Company "K", of the 60th Regiment of Illinois Infantry. He was 38 years old at the time. However, he probably never saw any action during the war, as he died April 20, 1862, in Mound City, Pulaski County, Illinois. There was a Union camp there. His unit had been devastated by disease. One record showed he died of typhoid fever; another showed he died of measles. I do not know if James was buried there at the camp, or was taken back home for burial. I have not found any burial records for him. More than likely, since disease was rampant, he was probably quickly buried around the camp.
Martha Vaughn, Jame's wife, received a Widow's pension from the government in the amount of $8.00 per month, commencing April 20, 1862. On December 21, 1864, she made an application to the government for an increase in her pension. In July, 1866, they increased her pension by allowing and additional $2.00 per month, per child, still living at home, not over 16 years of age. The pension application showed the following children still at home, and under 16 years of age.
William's son, James, was our next line of descent. James was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. He married Martha Haley in Henry County, Tennessee, on March 11, 1846. His brother, John, had also married a Maranda Haley, a year earlier. They were more than likley sisters. James first appeared on the Henry County Tax Lists in 1847, the year after he was married, living in Distrcit 6.
James moved his family to Vienna, Johnson County, Illinois, around 1857 or 1858. His daughter, Viney Adeline, was born June 14, 1856 in Henry County, Tennessee, and his last child, Martha E., was born February 15, 1859, in Johnson County, Illinois.
Jamesand Martha (Haley) Vaughn had the following children : our John L., born February 13, 1847, Susan G., born about 1848, William N., born July 1852, Nancy Caroline, born April 11, 1855, Viney Adaline, born June 14, 1856, and Martha E., born February 15, 1859. All of the children were bron in Henry County, Tennessee, except Martha E., who was born in Illinois.

There is a National Cemetery in Mound City, where he died, but they have no listing for him. More than likely, since sisease was rampant, he was probably quickly buried around the camp.
