Donna: Here's an answer to your earlier question(s).In RootsWeb I searched for Alcinda DeVaughn (d/o the Wood Co WV/VA settlers, William and Mary (Grimsley) DeVaughn,) who married Sylvester Mount.The search provided information on Alcinda, Ozias "Doss" and even Roscoe DeVaughn.This source shows that Ozias (whom I would identify as s/o William JR and Nancy (Wilt)DeVaughn--i.e. Alcinda's nephew) Also married a MOUNT--given as Mary Missouri. and shows Roscoe as their son.I suggest you repeat the search, and contact the poster, so you can compare notes.
Also, Hardesty's History of Wood County WV includes a biography of William DeVaughn Jr. I have not read this in some time, but recall it provided a good bit of information. Copies are in every WV Lib., as part of Comstock's reprints of Hardesty histories.One detail in the bio that I tracked for a long time was the detail that Wm Jr. was born at Big Ripple.In recent weeks I found some old correspondence, including the comment that Big Ripple, is in an area of the Little Kanawha River that used to be in Wood Co , but is now in Wirt County WV.In later generations, I think the men, including my late father-in-law and probably his first cousin Okey DeVaughn, used to go fishing each summer in Wirt Co. Also, I recall that some of Nancy (DeVaughn) Frazee's sisters lived in Wirt Co, but I think this might have been Harriet and Janet who married into the Lemon family,rather than Alcinda.The DeVaughn base was at Walker, in Wood County, but you might have good results by including Wirt County in your searches.So far, I don't seea DeVaughn connection to the names in your mother's family.Could the connection be with the MOUNTS?The three you have asked about are DeVaughns but thanks to the search, I see that these three are also part of the Mount family.Let me know how it turns out.Orris
