He was married to Ann Bradshaw on Aug 26 1846 in Jackson county, Iowa. On the marriage certificate, from Iowa, filed 3 November, 1880, for P.G. Hindorff (entered as "Heindorff") and Leanore (entered as "Leanora") Vaughn, her parents were given as "A.F. Vaughn" (father) and "Anna Bradshaw" (mother).

15. Ann Bradshaw was born on Aug 12 1822 in near Wheeling, West Virginia. She moved to Ohio about 1831 from West Virginia. Nancy's age was about 9 years. She died on Jan 14 1913 in Fallbrook, San Diego county, California. She was buried about Jan 14 1913 in in the Fallbrook Cemetery at Fallbrook, San Diego county, California.

While the Bradshaws lived in West Virginia they had a number of slaves. Ann had a slave playmate. She talked with a southern accent, using southern idioms 'reckon as how', etc.


Ann was 2 years old when her father died. Some time after that, Ann went to live with her grandparents, Jacob and Ellen Bradshaw. They moved to Iowa and she never saw her mother or half-brothers again. Ann loved to ride horses. She rode a horse from West Virginia to Ohio, in a wagon train. Later, she went, by horseback, to Iowa. While in Ohio they stopped at the home of the Clevelands. She and Grover were children, and swung out over the Ohio River on a long, wild-grapevine swing. While she lived with her grandmother, she learned many marvelous ways to preserve food. Those pioneer women were very wise and thrifty, and had no way, except natural means, to help them. "They had long white boards that the plum pulp was spread upon, after the plums were cooked, seeded and skins removed. When this pulp was dried they rolled it in large packages and called it plum leather. A portion was sliced off for pies, etc., and was very good eating. String beans were dried on long cords as they were picked. Dried in the shade, the hulls stayed green. Cooked, they were like fresh beans. Sweet corn and peas were dried too. Other things were buried in straw for preservation; potatoes (both kinds), apples, melons and pumpkins." - from Family History Albums.
