The present baronet is the second (but eldest surviving) son of Dr. James Vaughan, many years an eminent physician at Leicester j who married Hester, second daughter of the late alderman Smalley of Leicester by the sister of sir William Halford, bart. uncle to the late sir Charles. By the will of the last baronet, the property at Wistow (after the decease of the countess dowager of Denbigh) is vested in the present baronet and his heirs. See vol. II. p. 871- 5 He sold an estate at Dadlington, Jan. 17, 1729, to Elizabeth Wrighte, and went to Philadelphia in America; and, Oct. 26, 1733, he purchased of John Penford, of Leicester, 11,308 acres of land for 105^. lying on the Jersey side of the river 'Delaware, in New England; what was remaining after his death, about 2,500 acres, near the coast of Egg Harbour, was sold by his heirs., the descendants of his three sisters, in 1772.
