1788 - 30th Jul 1854
London merchant, son of Benjamin Vaughan (q.v.) and Sarah Manning, and nephew and partner of William Vaughan (q.v.) and nephew of Charles Vaughan (q.v.).
Baptised 01/10/1788 St Andrew Undershaft son of Benjamin; 1851 living at 70 Fenchurch Street, West India merchant, aged 62, born Jeffrey Square; will of Petty Vaughan merchant of Fenchurch St proved 18/10/1854; administration granted 05/04/1879 of estate of Petty Vaughan who died 30/07/1854 formerly of Fenchurch St but late of [15] St Helens Place, effects under £450.
He is described as 'the slave-trader Petty Vaughan' in a 'London Sugar and Slavery' site but there is no evidence of him in the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database (nor of his uncle William, also described there as a slave-trader). The site then goes on to point to the interconnection of trades in the slave economy.
