Family

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. 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.
• 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. She married Thomas Burgh, 3rd Baron Burgh and was the chief mourner at Blanche Parry's funeral in 1590. Blanche Parry was godmother to her daughters Frances and Elizabeth Burgh. 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.
