Notes - Andrew Vaught. s/o John Paul Vaught and his wife Maria Catherina, was b ca 1721 in Carlsbad, Germany. His name has appeared as John Andrew (Johan Andreas Paulus Vogt?). Andrew married Elizabeth ca 1741-1744, when he was about 20-23. They were most likely married in the Piedmont of Va but might have been married in the Shenandoah Valley. Both locations were in Orange Co., Va in 1741-1744.
In 1743 Germans began moving south from the Shenandoah Valley following the Indian path between the Blue Ridge and the Appalachians. These immigrants passed the German settlements on the headwaters of the James River and settled on Reed Creek and Cripple Creek, which were tributaries to the New River. Seventy-five German families were there before the Revolution. John Andrew Vaught was assignee of John Parkes for 600 acres on the head of Reed Creek, surveyed in 1753-54 and Andrew was to pay the interest on the land starting in 1762. Andrew sold land in the Peaked Mt. area to his brother, Gaspar, in May 1762, and again in Feb 1763. Andrew is mentioned on a road crew in the Shenandoah Valley in 1768. In 1774 Andrew again sold land in the Shenandoah Valley. By 1772, the Vaught name appears on the militia lists from southwest Virginia. Most records for Andrew Vaught and his sons are from what is today the Wythe County area. In 1770 Reed Creek and Cripple Creek were in Botetourt County, Virginia. From 1772-1777 the area was Fincastle County, Virginia. In 1777 the area became Montgomery County, Virginia. Wythe County, Virginia was formed in 1790. The area of Cripple Creek where some of the Vaughts lived became Smyth County in 1832. During the mid 1770s in southwest Virginia, Vaughts other than Andrew began to apppear in the records, starting with John Vaught in 1772 . These are probably sons of Andrew Vaught, Sr., who were reaching adulthood. The records from 1772 to 1792 yield the names Andrew Vaught, Sr., Andrew Vaught, Jr., George Vaught, John Vaught, Gaspar Vaught, Christian Vaught, David Vaught, and Henry Vaught. No land settlements or probate have been found for Andrew Vaught or his brother Gaspar Faught, sons of John Paul Vogt. Therefore, to list the children of both takes some guesswork. There is no evidence that Andrew's brother Gaspar or any of Gaspar's children ever moved to this southwestern part of Virginia. A German birth fraktur exists that states the parents of the babe, Andrew, were George and Christiana (Phillippi) Vaught and the grandparents were Andrew and Elizabeth Vaught. John Paul's son Andrew is known to have a wife Elizabeth. The date on the fraktur, February 1787, if the right time period to provide proof that Andrew had a son George. The other 6 men above are assumed to be more sons of Andrew. There is, so far, no proof of this assumption other than land association and the lack of any other known Vaught in the area at that time to whom the other 6 Vaught men could have belonged. A tax list of 1787 in Wythe County, Virginia lists both Andrew Vaught, Sr., and Andrew Vaught, Jr. So Andrew, s/o John Paul Vaught was still alive in 1787. In 1786, George Vaught granted 572 acres on the headwaters of Cripple Creek, to Henry Vaught and to Christley Vaught for 20 pounds. On the same day, Henry granted 130 acres of his share to Christley Vaught for 10 pounds. In 1788, the old survey (1753-1754), was assigned to Gaspar Vaught, viz, 200 acres to Adam Dutton and 200 acres to Philip Dutton. In 1790 (Survey Book D, page 61, item 463) Gaspar Vaught resurveyed the 600 acres on Reed Creek that were in the name of Andrew Vaught. The old survey was apparently being settled. These land maneuvers tend to paint a picture of estate settlement, and it is possible that Andrew Vaught, Sr., died ca 1787 in Montgomery County, Virginia.
No evidence of any possible daughters of Andrew has been found. However, Mary Vaught was a sponsor for the baptism of May Creager in 1797, according to "Kimberling Church, Wythe County, Virginia: Annotated Baptismal and Cemetery Records" by Hoch, Kegley, and Smith. This Mary Vaught does not fit any known Mary Vaught. She was not too old to be a daughter of Gaspar, bur Gaspar had another daughter name Mary. So she may have been a daughter of Andrew. No other reference for this Mary Vaught has been found.
It appears that all of Andrew and Elizabeth's sons may have married after the move to Southwest VA ca 1774.
