Notities over John VAUGHAN

Earl of Carbery, in the County of Cork, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 5 August 1628 for the Welsh courtier and politician John Vaughan, 1st Baron Vaughan. He had already been created Baron Vaughan, of Mullengar in the County of Westmeath, on 13 July 1621, also in the Peerage of Ireland. He was succeeded by his son, Richard, the second Earl. He fought as a Royalist in the English Civil War. On 25 October 1643 Charles I created him Baron Vaughan, of Emlyn in the County of Carmarthen, in the Peerage of England, which entitled him to a seat in the English House of Lords. His eldest son Francis Vaughan, Lord Vaughan sat as Member of Parliament for Carmarthen but predeceased his father. Lord Carbery was therefore succeeded by his second son, John, the third Earl. He notably served as Governor of Jamaica between 1675 and 1678 and as President of the Royal Society between 1686 and 1689. He had no surviving male issue and the titles became extinct on his death in 1713.

Sir John Vaughan, 3rd Earl of Carbery KB, PRS (baptised 8 July 1639 - 12 January 1713), styled Lord Vaughan from 1643 to 1686, was Governor of Jamaica between 1675-1678.

He was the second son of Richard Vaughan, 2nd Earl of Carbery and his second wife Frances Altham (c.1621 - 9 October 1650), daughter of Sir John Altham of Oxhey, Watford, Hertfordshire. He inherited his title and the Carmarthenshire estate (Golden Grove) in 1686 on the death of his father. His elder brother Francis had already died.

He was invested as a Knight, Order of the Bath (KB) in April 1661. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Carmarthen between 1661 and 1679 and again for Carmarthenshire between 1679 and 1689.[citation needed] He was Governor of Jamaica from 1674 to 1678.[1] His deputy was the celebrated privateer Sir Henry Morgan.

He had a reputation for debauchery: Samuel Pepys called him "the lewdest fellow of the age". Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, whose impeachment Vaughan strongly supported, called him a man who was "as ugly in face as in fame". As Governor of Jamaica he became notorious for corruption, and was even accused of selling his servants as slaves.

He was President of the Royal Society between 1686-1689, having been elected a Fellow in 1685. He was Colonel of the Regiment of Foot from 1673 to 1674 and Lord of the Admiralty from 1689 to 1690.

On his death his titles became extinct. His estates passed to a cousin, another John Vaughan (1693-1765), who rebuilt the Golden Grove mansion.

Vaughan married twice, first to Mary Brown, daughter of George Brown of Green Castle but they had no children. He remarried on 10 October 1682 to Anne Savile, daughter of George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax and his first wife, Lady Dorothy Spencer. They had two children;

Anne Vaughan (d. 20 September 1751) who in 1713 married Charles Paulet, 3rd Duke of Bolton
