However, it is interesting to note that the oldest record (being that of Daniel Vaught), is directly related to that German family I found records for at the Family History Library. He is the grandson of Johann Everhard Martin & Jacobina Elizabeth Wunderlich. You can find my post that talks about those German records here FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY TRIP - Day 2 - A Red Letter Day! I have a LOT more research to do on this part of the family.
