THE FAMILY OF VAUGHT The family spelling the name VAUGHT seems to be an offshoot of the family of VOUGHT, VOGDT, VOGT, who were natives of the Palatinate in Germany. A member of this family came to America as one of a party of Lutherans headed by the Reverend Joshia Kockerthal, who left Germany and went to England in 1708 in order to petition the English Monarch Queen Anne, to grant them a tract of land in the New World upon which to colonize. Queen Anne was no doubt favorably impressed by their appearance of thrift and industriousness. At any rate the grant was made, and in 1708 the first ship load of them came to this country. A second ship of them came just afterwards on the "Lyon" in 1710. General Robert Hunter, newly appointed Governor of New York, came on the same boat. The special tract of land granted by Queen Anne lay along the Hudson River, near Newburg, New York, but Vought, called Simon Vought, one of these settlers having landed with the rest in New York City, preferred not to journey any further. He remained in the city for some time, and later, in April 1711, removed to western New Jersey, where he made his home in Middlesex and Hunterdon Counties. Simon and Cristina Vought had the following children in this country. Johannes Christoffle, Margareta, Johannes and Abraham. The oldest of these was known by his Anglicized name, John Christopher Vought and married Cornelia Putham, of the well known New York Dutch Family of that name. This explains the presence of the name Vaught, Vought in the New England Area until this day. As to the beginning of the Horry County, South Carolina, family, it would appear that the original immigrant was JOHN VAUGHT, who with his wife and infant son came to this country in June, 1750. I quote from a letter of the Honorable John D. Bellamy, Wilmington, North Carolina. "My father, who was eight years old when he died, (and I am now seventy-nine-L933) told me that Matthias Vaught came directly to that section from HANOVER, GERMANY. He was the father of Colonel Peter Vaught, and Col. Peter Vaught was a brother of my father's mother." Peter W. Vaught, (age 73 when his letter was written March 20, 1935)of Wellington, Kansas, quoting a letter written b his father Anthony Sweet Vaught, says (written by his father "My Grandfather, Matthias Vaught, was ten days old when he landed at Charleston, South Carolina." This would indicate that Matthias Vaught, the elder son of John Vaught, Senior, was born at sea while enroute to this country. John-Vaught, Senior, arrived in Charleston, around June 10, 1750, according to the letter of his great Grandson, Anthony Sweet Vaught. He was evidently a man of professional qualities for we find no record of his acquiring land until about nineteen years after his arrival. This land record is recorded in Royal Grants and gives date of 29th November 1770 and would have to be the record of John Vaught Senior, for census records show the age of John Vaught, Junior to have been 15 years this date. 1. JOHN VAUGHT, SENIOR, born about the year 1725 as a native of Hanover, Germany, married prior to his coming to America. According to the records of his Great Grandson Anthony Sweet Vaught, he arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, around June 10, 1 750, with his wife and young son, Matthias Vaught, born May 31, 1750, about ten days out at sea from Charleston. John Vaught, Senior, must have been a professional man because no record is found of his acquiring land until his first grant in 1770. It is reasonable to believe that he spent his early years working and living in Charleston, where young John Vaught was born and schooled in Medicine. The name of his wife is not known to the writer, but it appears that his only children were: 2. MATTHIAS VAUGHT, born 5-31-1750, died 11-13-1833. married Martha Mercy Todd, daughter of Captain Charles Todd, who immigrated to this country. 3. JOHN VAUGHT, JUNIOR, born about 1757, died 1809. married Frances Moat, probably form Charleston, S. C. 2 son of 1 MATTHIAS VAUGHT, SENIOR, born May 31, 1750, died November 13, 1833, was born at sea while his parents, John Vaught, Sr. and his wife, were enroute to America from Hanover, Germany. He was ten days old when they landed at Charleston, South Carolina. Matthias and Martha were married about the year 1771. She was the daughter of Captain Charles Todd. Her brothers were Richard, Solomon and Joseph, and I feel sure there were others. Matthias Vaught was among the earliest landowners in what is now the Ocean Drive Beach area. In the S. C. Archives there is a record dated June 5, 1770 of a tract of land "admeasured and laid out to Matthias Vaught 200 acres in Craven Co., S.C. on Waccamaw River. "Matthias Vaught volunteered and joined Marion's Light Horse forces. He was with General Marion's men when he harassed the British by his forays from the swamps of the Santee and Waccamaw Rivers-particularly in the Battle of Cowpens and other engagements. Marion's Light Horse forces encountered Tarleton's Cavalry at Cowpens. There it was that Matthias Vaught engaged in a hand-to-hand saber fight with a British Cavalryman who practically cut off his left leg. The state of S. C. afterwards awarded him a pension for the rest of his life. See Salley's Indents Book 2 page 120; shows his receiving pay for 335 days Militia Duty. The Lineage of Dr. John Vaught, through Matthias Vaught and Martha Mercy Todd. They made their home on a plantation between Wampee and Red Bluff, near what is known as Lees Mill, in later years as Hardy's Mill. Their children: 1. Solomon Vaught, who married Angeline Hughes. 2. Col. Peter Vaught, who married Mary Sweet II. 3. Mary Vaught, who married Francis D. Price. 4. Sarah Vaught, who married Thomas D. Todd. 5. Joseph, who married Sarah Brantley. 6. Elizabeth Vaught, who married John Bellamy Sr. his 2nd wife. 7. William Vaught, who married Mary Hawkins, Denis Hawkins daughter. 8. Martha Vaught, married John Dunn, who was born in Scotland. 9. Charlotte Vaught, who married David Taylor, born in N. C. 10. Rebeccah Vaught, who married Capt. Peter Cox, son of Josiah Cox. 11. Ann Vaught, who married William Bellamy, Bro of J.D. Bellamy. Col. Peter Vaught Sr. and Mary Sweet II Col. Peter Vaught Sr. Born June 30, 1784, at Little River, S.C. Died Nov. 1867. Buried at Little River, S. C. Married Mary Sweet II, daughter of Anthony Sweet II and Polly (Dorthy) Davis, a Miss McCants, who patented the First Fishing net, and other Fishing Gadgets, from which they became very rich. He was not only one of the most wealthy men in the County but none either before or after him, was held in greater esteem. Many honors were bestowed upon him not alone for the service he rendered the county and state, but for his sterling qualities and his concern not only of his own, but for others. He began his career as a teacher, at Paulleys Island, S.C. where he taught the natives. His political life began when he was elected Tax collector, which he served for 14 years, then a similar period as Sheriff. The remaining 22 years was either State Represenative or State Senator when it was his county's turn, to provide a Senator. His last term was over in 1865, making 60 years of continued service to the county or state. Nomination then, Before & After was Equal to Election. It was when the 1865 session was over that the State Democratic convention met in Columbia, of which he was a member from his county, along with several others, and several hundred from throughout the state, during the deliberations, the named Col. Peter Vaught Sr. was put in nomination to Represent the state of South Carolina, in the United States Senate, the nomination was duly seconded, and put before the House for action. He being past eighty, and getting feeble, was assisted to the platform, and with tears streaming down his cheeks, thanked the delegates for the Honor they wished to bestow upon him, and pleaded that the Nomination be withdrawn, as it was not fair to the state, as it then of all times needed a young man, to cope with the problems the state and South faced. Stating also that it was not fair to himself as he was past 80 and had given the state and County 60 of the best years of his life in dedicated service, and now felt that he should be allowed to return to his home and honored retirement, that he felt he deserved. Two years after retirement, he passed to a higher service to give, and at the age of eighty-two years, 7 months he died and is buried in the Vaught Family Burying Ground at Little River, S. C. PETER VAUGHT, son of Matthias Vaught and Martha Mercy Todd, born 5-301774, died November 1867. During the early years of his first marriage, lived on a plantation near his father, between Wampee and Red Bluff. Later he lived on a large plantation in the Long Bay area between Windy Hill Beach and Myrtle Beach. The Dunes Club section of Myrtle Beach was once part of his plantation. He was concerned about the Yankee ships shelling the numerous Salt Manufacturing Works along the Horry Coast, and requested protection by the Confederate Forces. He was a signer of the Nullification Ordinance at the Convention in Columbia, S.C.(See N. D. Snowden's History). Other signers were Nathaniel Heyward, Pinckney et al. The following is an excerpt from a letter written by John D. Bellamy of Wilmington, N. C. "I have often heard my father say that Colonel Peter Vaught was a man of wealth and considerable influence, and while he was not a lawyer, he wrote all the deeds and conveyances in the Conway Section, and owned a large plantation with a large number of Negroes and that the old slave quarters, constructed of brick were existing in his day." Peter Vaught was a dignified, scholarly gentleman; warm hearted sympathetic and gentle. He married second Sarah Lee, of Lee's Mill in 1846. No children are known of this marriage.
