Name VAUGHAN, Daniel Birth 21 Feb 1747 Scituate, R.I. 
Gender Male Note - Daniel Vaughan Twin of Obediah. After his fathers death in 1761 he emigrated to Chester, Lunenburg County, N.S. with his Mother Dinah and younger brother Anthony to join his older brother John and his wife Mary. A record in Chester shows that John Vaughan owned land in 1764, which indicated that he had taken up his grant at least four years earlier. Daniel and Anthony built a saw and grist mill, near each other, on a stream known as 'Vaughan's Stream' in a section known as Western Shore near Chester. Daniel married Lydia Mosher and years later sold his property as Western Shore to Anthony and moved to Newport, Hants County. In 1796, along with Philip Mosher, they moved their families to Quaco (St. Martins),. N.B. where they recieved land in the Orange Rangers Grant. They were said to have operated the first sawmill in New Brunswick.
DANIEL, son of David and Dinah (Baker) Vaughan, was born at Scituate, Rhode Island, Feb. 21, 1747 (twin to Obadiah). He married Lydia (Mosher?). Daniel made a will on June 11, 1807 and then executed another on Jan. 27, 1808. He died soon after making this will. All of his children were named in the will. However when the children signed off on a parcel of land to Daniel's nephew James Mcleod; it will be seen that Henry Vaughan was either deceased or out of the country. Daughter Rebekah may have died, because her husband, Peter Crandall, signed for her share.
Daniel is said to have operated a saw mill with Phillip Mosher.
Daniel probably lived with his father and mother in Beekman's Precinct, Dutchess County, New York, probably moved from there to Chester or Lunenburg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, prior to 1774. Daniel was one of the original grantees of Quaco (now St. Martins, N.B.). His estate was valued at 255 pounds, of which 100 pounds was a one-fourth ownership in the schooner 'Rachel' built by his son David. This was the first ship built at St. Martins.
At one time Daniel and Anthony built a saw and grist mill on Vaughan's Creek in Chester. He sold his half interest to brother Anthony when he went to New Bunswick.
It is said he received a grant of 1750 acres in Saint Johns County, N.B. and became wealthy.
