Sources:
The text of "Recollections of Micajah Hail" reads as follows: copied
from the source at Pulaski Co KY Library "Recollections of Micajah Hail, about his ancestors, from the year 1804-1874" contains the following information:
"Samuel Vaughan, my wife's father, of Hanover County Virginia, married Morning Hope. They moved to Madison County Kentucky about 1805 and to Pulaski County in 1808 and to Russell County Kentucky in 1820. They had five daughters and one son: Francis who married John Zachary, Temperance who married Abraham Sublett, Mary who married John Dogan, Margaret who married William Buster, and Elizabeth, who married Micajah Hail, and John the son, who married Elizabeth McFarlin.
Samuel Vaughan was of honest report, a good citizen, an industrious farmer. In his young days, he read more than common farmers. He was good company, that is a good conversationalist, of good information, and he was a good neighbor. If a man wronged him or deceived him, he wished never to have any more dealings with him. His wife was an affectionate wife and mother, a good housekeeper, a pious member of the Baptist Church.
His property at his death was worth about $2700.00 or $2800.00.
"Above was written by our grandfather Micajah Hail."
Samuel Vaughan went from VA to KY around 1805 and bought 100 acres in Cumberland Co KY (Bk 9, p 140 Jillson.) This region is now in Russell CO which was formed in 1825 from Adair, Cumberland and Wayne Counties. Samuel died the year it was formed. His son John Vaughan paid the taxes on 250 acres on the Cumberland River in 1826. Samuel's widow-- Mourning Hope Vaughan paid the taxes in 1827. This area was known as Long Bottom along the Cumberland River. Much of Long Bottom is now submerged since the dam was built which forced the cemeteries to be relocated.
In the Russell CO Will Book 1, p 69-71, 1831
