Hi Joyce,

I love your website and I wanted to share with you a family photo that once belonged to my grandmother and was passed onto me.

This is a photo of James C. Vaughan (my g-g-grandfather) and his family, taken in front of his home, Vaughan Hill, Wyalusing, PA. in 1899.  Unfortunately, James passed away one year after this photo was taken.

Seated in the center is Elizabeth Gamble-Vaughan (she was from Bradford County) and to her left is James C. Vaughan; he's the one with the cane.  I don't know who the older woman is sitting in the wicker rocker.  To James' left, is my g-grandmother, Anna Charity McHenry-Vaughan, holding daughter Ruth (my grandmother was born in this house in 1912 where she grew up and went on to graduate from Wyalusing High School in 1929 at the age of 16!) Anna's husband, my g-grandfather, Joseph G. Vaughan is standing next to her.  He worked for the PA. railroad.  Standing next to Joseph is his sister, Charolette, and next to her is Uncle Richard "Dick" Vaughan (my father was named after him).  The gentleman standing directly behind the elderly lady in the rocker is Joseph's other brother, Ralph Vaughan with his wife standing next to him--she had the white blouse on, and next to her is Sarah Vaughan, sister.  The lady sitting on the ground directly in front of Elizabeth Gamble Vaughan, is Aunt "Lil.  These are all James C.' children.

As for the rest of the clan, I haven't the slightest clue as to who they are but one thing is for certain is that the Vaughans do sure look alike!
