Susie Pulliam was probably born in what is now Robertson County, Kentucky and married Joseph Vaughan in Kentucky. She died 1808 in Kentucky. Joseph Vaughan then moved to Wilcox County, Alabama where he married Sarah Elizabeth Lamb Reaves, the widow of James W. Reaves. He was in Wilcox County by 1816.

There was a Benjamin Pullum (Pullium) in Fayette County, Kentucky on the tax list in 1789 and also a Joseph Pullum there in the same year. A Letitia Pullem of Fayette County married in 1822. Susie named a son Benjamin.
