[edit]
Vaughan was a younger son of Thomas Vaughan of Porthaml in Breconshire and Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Miles alias Parry of Bacton, Herefordshire. He was a nephew of the courtier Blanche Parry.[2] Some elements of the 16th-century manor house survive at Great Porthamel Farm.
He married Anne Pickering, widow of Sir Francis Weston and Sir Henry Knyvet. Their children included:
- Francis Vaughan.[3]
- Frances Vaughan, a maid of honour at the court of Elizabeth I in 1578 when her clothes were made by the Queen's tailor Walter Fyshe.[4] She married Thomas Burgh, 3rd Baron Burgh and was the chief mourner at Blanche Parry's funeral in 1590.[5] Blanche Parry was godmother to her daughters Frances and Elizabeth Burgh.[6] As a widow, in November 1613, she was given an allowance of £500 and went to join the household of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia at Heidelberg.[7]
