The 1850 census of Dinwiddie Co., Virginia shows:

Benjamin B. Vaughan age 30; Sarah E. age 26; Lemuel H. age 7; Benjamin B. age 5; Sarah age 3; and Ada V. age 7 months.

In 1880, he was living with his son, Lemuel Vaughan while his wife was living with her daughter.

Prior to his death he made a note of his understanding of his family tree which was included in the Reliques of Rives and reads:

"Lemuel Holt Vaughan, father of B. B. Vaughan, was a son of Peter Vaughan of Dinwiddie co. Va., a large land-holder in, and for many years high sheriff of that county; the father of Peter Vaughan was Salathiel Vaughan, an Englishman. The mother of Lemuel Holt Vaughan was a daughter of John Boisseau and his wife whose maiden name was Goodwyn. This John Boisseau was a brother [son] of James Boisseau the father of Benjamin Boisseau, who was the father of Thrysa Holt, the mother of B. B. Vaughan.

Thrysa Holt Vaughan, whose maiden name was Boisseau, mother of B. B. Vaughan, was the daughter of Benjamin Boisseau and Mary, his wife, whose maiden name was Epes.

Benjamin Boisseau's father was James Boisseau, who was the son of a Frenchman named James, who escaped from France at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis 14th King of France, and settled about the year of 1688 on Hatcher's Run in Dinwiddie county, about seven miles from Petersburg, on the main road to Dinwiddie Court House.

The grandmother of B. B. Vaughan on the maternal side was the daughter of Francis Epes, whose maiden name was Mary. His wife, Elizabeth, whose maiden name was Pegram, was of the Dinwiddie family of Pegrams."

Later research has supported most of this account although Salathiel Vaughan was actually born in Virginia.
