My husband's Mother's great grandfather was James Riley Faughn. His son, James William, born 1864 in Porter's Bluff, Texas, married Dora Tennessee Cates. Their son, William H. Faughn was married to Senia Ann Wafer in Corsicana, Texas about 1813. Pauline, my husband's mother, was born in Corsicana in 1915. I have quite a bit of Faughn information and would love to share and know what you have.

Hi Carol. I have made some progress since we last exchanged email. I found a death certificate for my Great-Grandfather Daniel M. Faughn (1865-1949). The death certificate indicates his father's name was Daniel. Still no luck on connecting them to Sanders P. Faughn.

Related to Sanders P. Faughn, there is a death certificate for Martha A. Faughn. S.P. Faughn signed the certificate as 'informant'. She died January 13, 1911....shortly before his death in 1916. Does this make sense to you? I found a civil war record for S.P.D. Faughn, in Confederate service 1861-1864. Is this the same Sanders Faughn? Do you know what the 'D' stands for?

It does sound like promising. I am just now starting on the Faughns in my family, so let me digest this a few days. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me at my personal email address: dfdun@comcast.net.

Thank you for your response!

Donna,

I am not sure if there is a connection or not. However, with a name like Sanders, I think there is a possibility.

I trace my Faughn line back to a possible Sanders P. Faughn. 2nd great grandad William Henry Faughn b. 1856 , had a brother or uncle Sanders P. Faughn b. 1839 Kentucky. The reason I am unsure of the relationship, is that I find very little evidence of Sanders P. Faughn's life. I know he was wonded in the Civil War. I know he died March 3,1916 in Greene Co., AR (very close to the Missouri border) and that alot of this family of Faughns all migrated from Kentucky, to New Madrid & Pemiscot Co., MO and then on down to Dunklin Co., MO and on to Greene Co., Ar. I know Sanders is related because William's son Henry was the executor of Sanders estate (which was teensy). At the time he arrived in Ar. I believe he was single as I never find any mention of a Mrs. Faughn. I do have his death certificate, civil war paperwork and probate record.

It just seems with a name like this, it is highly likely they are related in some way.

Carol

Daniel Faughn

dfdun — 2006-11-27 23:48:49Z

I am looking for information on Daniel Faughn, born In IL abt. 1864, and Mark Faughn, born IL abt. 1860. Both seem to have been married to Hannah. Their son, Sanders, born 1907 in MO, was my grandfather. Hannah also had a daughter, Mary J. I found Sanders with Daniel and Hannah in 1930 Census. In 1920, Hannah, Sanders and Mary J. are with Mark Faughn. Any information about these people would be greatly appreciated.

I did the DNA thing and it came back E3B. My earliest ancestor was from the middle east. I'm also Ashkenazi Levite from wherever. Here I thought I was Irish all this time.

Ancestry.com has a James Riley Faughn who turns out to be my Great grandmother's father. I have a marriage record between James and Margaret Elizabeth Peel in Ellis County, TX in 1857. Anyone know what branch moved to TX and how I can trace James?

Dear Cousins,
Perhaps we can join forces???
I'm trying to get together as many Faulkner men/boys as I can to participate in a Faulkner DNA study. I hope you'll all be interested and willing. Since I obviously do not fit the men/boys/fathers/sons/grandsons profile, I am unable to participate.

Those whose ancestry goes back to Virginia and or Kentucky seem to me to be most likely related.

The costs depend on numbers involved, but probably about $100.00 each.

Procedure: obtain a kit, swab inside a cheek for a short time, & place the swab in provided container. -- If there is a large enough number involved the cost per person drops -- people tested need to be sons of Faulkner men of whatever generation.

Do you think that you and your brothers and sons would be interested and willing?

So far my brother is and at least one nephew is.

If so, I'll check out the details further and let you know.

I'm a hammonds. have been trying to find about my grandmother being on a roll or not. Being from Ala, there's also a chance that they could have been tuscarora (sp.) as well. A lot of native americans were relocated to reservations. some of those who remained used other races mulatto, black, etc.. I'd appreciate what sources (if any) that helped.

My name is Sherri Faughn Starr. I have also heard that the name originates from Ireland. Do you have any more information. My father's name was Mathew Jackson Faughn and was from the Illinois and Kentucky area?
Thank you for any help you can give.

Hello, I hope this finds you well. Finally a breakthrough! I've been searching the Faughn line forever. Not really, only 56 years. My dad Charles Edwin Faughn left my mom and I when I was 6 mos. old. His dad was James Darby Faughn. James' dad was John Joshua Faughn. It goes back to William Faughan who died in Surry Co. Virginia in 1758. I believe the James Faughn you have is the son of William who was born in 1735. Please share, I'd be forever grateful. Thank you, Michael O. Faughn
