DAVID, son of John and Elizabetn (Bull) Vaughan was born at Portsmouth, R.l. Oet. 25, 1704. He married, probably at North Kingstown, Dinah Baker before 1726. She was dau. of Benjamin and Mary (Havens) Baker. Some genealogists claim wife was Dinah. Northrup, dau. of Benjamin Northrup, because David Vaughan mentioned his brother-in-law Benjamin Northrup in his will. However, David's sister Mary married for her second husband a Benjamin Northrup, and this was undoubtedly the brother-inlaw to whom David refers. The Estate Papers of Benjamin Baker, probated 1726 at North Kingston mentions his daughter, wife of David Vaughan. Dinah and David's children were all recorded at Scituate, R.l., except for the youngest, who may have been born in Dutchess Co., N.Y. The first five of his children were born at N.K. David was made Freernan at N.K. May 1730. He bought 100 acres in Scituate Mar. 12, 1734-5, and was admitted freeman there in 1736. He moved with all, or most of his family about 1755, to Beekman Precinct, Dutchess Co., N.Y. He drew his will Aug. 16, 1761. His will was admitted to Probate Oct. 30, 1761, and recorded in Liber 23, page 155. Wills in Surrogate at New York Co., New York City. The will was later probated at N.K. on May 8, 1768 because of property he still owned there. The records at N.K. were partially burned, and a complete copy of the will is not available. Wife Dinah went to Nova Scotia to live with several of her sons. she died there after 1772, when she executed a deed to her son Anthony. David and Dinah sold 161 l/2 acres at Scituate on Mar. 8, 1759 to Tom Eldred, Jr. David's descendants are very numerous and represent many of the hardy pioneers who converted the wilderness.
