| Notes |
- Veteran of American Revolution. (DAR) Jamile has a typed copy from ancestry.com
1798 Georgia Tax Index shows Jesse Vaughn in Burke County, District 4, page 4B.
Book: Families of Burke County, GA, page 297 says that Jesse left Burke county around 1805.
Jesse Vaughn moved from Burke County to Wilkinson County, GA in 1805. He was a wealthy landowner. His will was recorded in 1825 and he died in 1828.
He lived for a while in Washington County, AL
The "History of Wilkinson County" by Victor Davidson (1930) pp 214-215 lists Jesse Vaughn as one of the veterans of the Revolutionary War who took part in the visit of General Lafayette in 1825. Lafayette reviewed the militia and then embraced each veteran.
From Linda Aubrey:
A collection of Wilkinson County, GA historical papers was published in 1973 by Joseph T. Maddox of Irwinton, Georgia. Jesse Vaughn's will (dated September 10, 1825) was included and among those listed as a benefactor was Polly Lowe, a daughter. James Lowe was listed as an executor.
Had a slave named Blind Alec.
Feb 2006: from Bob Willett: I am a direct decendents of Sarah Lowe and Jeremiah Willett.
From Bob Willett June 30, 2006: When Jesse made his will in 1825 I don't believe he was married because he did not mention a wife and he was going to sell all of his household and kitchen furniture and livestock. If he had a wife at that point, he would not have sold furniture.
Jesse Vaughn's will mentions a grandaughter Mariah McMillian and a grandson Alexander McMillen. However, he does not mention a daughter with a last name of McMillen. It's possible she had remarried by the time he did his will, or that she had previously died. Update 8/14/06 Bob says Jesse's daughter died before 1825.
1820 Census: Was in Wilkinson County, GA, along with sons William and John, and daughters Elizabeth and Eliza.
