General Notes: Child - John Vaughan

The story/rumor goes that young John arranged to make a grand tour of the Continent with his friend John Campbell, of Scotland, afterwards created Baron Cawdor. Under those circumstances it was customary for the two friends to make wills, each bequeathing the sum total of his possessions to his friend and travelling companion. This was done in order to prevent delay and seizure of property by foreign officials in the event of one or other of the travellers dying suddenly whilst abroad . The canny Scot did not destroy John Vaughan's will upon his return to England and then, produced it when John Vaughan died intestate in 1804, thereby inheriting the Vaughan estates of in excess of 50,000 acres, to the exclusion of John's surviving half sister, Mrs. Susannah Watkins.

Biography

John Vaughan was one of the largest landowners in Carmarthenshire, and was returned unopposed in 1779 and 1780. His first recorded vote was with Opposition for an account of pensions, 21 Feb. 1780; but he voted with Administration on the abolition of the Board of Trade, 13 Mar. 1780, Dunning's motion, 6 Apr. 1780, and the motion against prorogation, 24 Apr. 1780. Classed by Robinson in his survey for the general election as a Government supporter, he was one of the first to leave them during the crucial divisions of 1782: in that of 20 Feb. his vote is uncertain, but in all the others he was against Administration. He voted for Shelburne's peace preliminaries, 18 Feb. 1783; was classed by Robinson in March as 'doubtful'; did not vote on Fox's East India bill; and in Stockdale's list of 19 Mar. 1784 appears as 'absent'. He did not stand in 1784. There is no record of his having spoken in the House.

He died 19 Jan. 1804. He had the reputation of an eccentric. He bequeathed his estates to John Campbell, 1st Baron Cawdor, his companion on the grand tour, but no relation. 'He has left several natural children in the neighbourhood', wrote the Gentleman's Magazine (1804, p. 687), 'without the smallest provision for either of them.'
