1780 -
Generation: 1
1. MCKAUGHAN, Archibald was born in 1780 in PA; died in Brackenridge County, KY. Notes:
ARCHIBALD McKAUGHAN was born in Pennsylvania. He went to the territory w hiich is now Sulliva n County, Tennessee and then to Pulaski County, Ke ntucky with his parents. We found his marri age license in Wayne County , Monticello, Kentucky to ELIZABETH WEST, 1814, then they left th e are a. In 1983, Minniebell found Roy Charles McKaughan of Jeffersonville, I ndiana and he tol d her they had gone to Stephensport, Breckenridge Cou nty, Kentucky. At that time, Stephenspor t was a large port town but to day it is not much larger than a ghost town. We could not fin d any des cendants with the McKaughan name living there now. From the Breckenridg e County cens us, the known children were:
1. ELIZABETH McKAUGHAN 2. ALEXANDER McKAUGHAN 3. GEORGE McKAUGHAN
There are West descendants in Monticello, Kentucky still. It appears th e original West famil y had several sons so we do not know of which son E lizabeth descends. She apparently died bet ween 1850, when she appeared o n the census, and 1860, when Arcbibald McKaughan was living wit h his d aughter, Elizabeth.
