Author: Sarah Collins - grand daughter 

My grand father , Andrew Jackson Vaughn was either born in Kentucky , North 
Carolina or Tennessee .
I've heard of a couple of possible names for his father and mother  . 
I have no documented proof that it's true information so I keep researching .
Andrew married Sarah Crider ( daughter of George W. Crider & Mary Farler ) 
before 1898 .
She was a very petite , fair skinned and beautiful lady .
He was dark complexion and fiery tempered personality . 
It wasn't easy to live in Kentucky during that time period if you were dark 
skinned .
Most of the people I've talked to like The Vaughn Family .
They said Andrew's ancestors  was from an Indian Reservation  . 
He and Sarah had seven children that we know of . 

(1)William Bradley 1898-1981
(2)Hiram Nepolian 1900-1951
(3)Dona Bell -1904-1985
(4)George W. -1912-1928
(5)James Garfield -unk.
(6)Mary -unk
(7)Ewing

I've been told by his son and several other sources that  he was Sheriff of 
Harlan County Ky . late 1800's - early 1900's .
He and Sarah owned property in Eolia Ky . 
Andrew was a farmer , miner and boot legger also .
His young son George W. was shot and killed at age 17, by Edmond Bolling 
( as listed online article called "Pound Killins" ) .
Andrew was found dead by his son W. B. in abt. 1920 .
We found a very shabbily written , ( not much info ) death certificate that 
was suppose to be for Andrew . 
The Census Records are so messed up and some info incorrect , 
I wait and keep searching looking for the truth . 
I know there was a lot of predguduce back then and I try to sort out facts 
from what people made up a story to be . 
I would love to know what his mother and father's name were .
If they were Indian , Spanish , Portuguese or what ever race they are all 
still my Ancestors . 
I'm sure I would've loved them all very much .
