8th generation: Lula M.T.(wife of Christopher Rhodes Vaughn) & daughter, Bessie

According to Audrey Mae’s map diagram,  her grandfather Charles Augustus Vaughn’s brother is Christopher Rhodes Vaughn who married Lulu M. (née Tennant) Vaughn. Lulu and Christopher are 8th generation Vaughns in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.  Lulu’s gravestone is in the lower left corner of Audrey Mae’s sketch of the cemetery.  Web author is unsure if Christopher Rhodes Vaughn is also buried here. Their daughter, Bessie, died at 1 year and 3 months and she is also buried here.  Her gravestone is located in the left center in Audrey Mae’s map.

Audrey Mae drew a line from Charles Augustus Vaughn’s stone to Christopher Rhodes Vaughn’s name and wrote “brother” to show their relationship.

Again, Christopher Rhodes Vaughn would not be in Audrey Mae’s, Edith Anna’s and John Edward’s direct line.  Christopher Rhodes Vaughn is the brother of Charles Augustus, the three children’s maternal grandfather.

The web site, www.findagrave.com give the following information on Christopher’s spouse, Lula M. Tennant Vaughn.  Lula was born November 18, 1857 and died April 4th, 1888.  She died at 39 years, 4 months and 16 days.
