SIMEON VAUGHT succeeded Thomas Downs, as clerk of Hazle Creek church, in 1814, and filled that position till 1836. He was a messenger from his church to Gasper River Association, at least twenty-three times. Late in life, the good old brother was ordained to the ministry, and although possessing small talent, doubtless accomplished some good in the Master's vineyard. He was pastor of Nelson Creek church, a short time, including the year 1837. Vaught Downs = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/logan/vaught.s.txt
