Biographical history

Henry Vaughan (1806-1888) married Hannah Moran of St. Martins in 1839. His children were: Elizabeth (d. 1882); LeBaron; Hannah (married Golding), Emeline, Emma, Madina, and Lorenzo.

LeBaron Vaughan lived in Liverpool, England, in the 1880s where he worked for the family shipping firm, S. Vaughan & Co., and also for H. Barrs and Co. He returned to New Brunswick several years before he died in Saint John in 1894. He had married in 1860, Amelia, daughter of Amasa Durkee. His son, Frank, born in 1874, in Liverpool, was an electrical engineer at the Vaughan Electric Co. Ltd. and married H. Gross in 1906. Frank wrote a number of articles on electricity. LeBaron's other children included George Carey, Estella, Eleanor and Octavia.
