(Continuing with Sally Baughn’s account of Eve Baumgardner Boughan:)
"At any rate, with the new knowledge and many thanks to Ardys Hurt, here is a new look at Eve’s family:
"Eve Baumgardner married Mordecai Boughan (perhaps in 1771 or 1772) as their first child was born in October of 1772. Mordecai Boughan died before 1792 and Eve did not remarry, but continued to own and improve his estate. Eve’s will was written in 1829 and proved in May 1835, but the estate was not settled until November 1838. The children of Mordecai and Eve, as named in both their wills, were:
1. Henry Boughan, b. 4 Oct 1772, m. Elizabeth Wall,
2. Sarah Boughan, b. ca 1773-75, m. Michael Aylor,
3. Susanna Boughan, b. ca 1775, m. Robert Jones,
4. Lystra Boughan, b. ca 1777, m. Margaret Hitt,
5. Mordecai Boughan, b. ca 1782, m. Mary Zimmerman,
6. Moses Boughan, b. 9 Feb 1783, m. Sarah Yowell,
7. Catherine Vaughan, b. ca 1790, never married,
8. Jeremiah Vaughan, b. ca 1785-92, m. Molly Unknown,
9. Simeon Boughan, b. 8 Jul 1786, m. Lucy Haines,
10. Joel Vaughan, b. 1785-92, m. Frances Unknown."Henry, Lystra, Mordecai, Moses, and Simeon pioneered in Ohio. Michael and Sarah Boughan Aylor pioneered in Boone Co., Kentucky. Susanna, Catherine, and Joel’s wife and children continued to live in Virginia, and we have no further information about Jeremiah’s family. Catherine, Jeremiah, and Joel are listed as ‘Vaughan’ because that seems to be the way they were known in Culpeper Co., VA. The two spellings are used interchangeably in old court records."
(Editor’s note.) Ardys Hurt wrote, "Gene Dear deserves ALL of the credit re Eve Baumgardner. He sent the copies of records and I simply passed on information regarding Eve’s proof of parentage." Among the reasons that I liked the story was it illustrated that cooperation pays. Steven Bunger and the publisher of
Beyond Germanna
paid for the Preble County District Library subscription which was the start of Sally Baughan’s story. Gene Dear and Ardys Hurt supplied missing information.
