     1661 April 17. John Vaughan of Trawscoed. Eldest son of Edward V. of that place, (H.S. 1618, who d.
        1635,) b. at Trawscoed 13 Sept. 1603, "matric. at Chr. Ch. Oxford 1623 aged 15," entered the Inner
        Temple Nov. 1620, where he was called to the Bar 1630, and made a Bencher 1660, obtained a large
        practise before the Star Chamber. m. Janet eldest dau. and co-heir of John Stedman of Cilcommyn,
        was M.P. Cardigan 1628-29, Mch. to May 1640 and Dec. 1640 until disabled to sit for his loyalty 1
        Sept. 1645, co. Card. and Newton (Lancashire) 1661 when he el. to serve for co. Card, until 22 May
        1668 when he was raised to the bench as Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, was knighted in
        May 1668, cr. a Serjeant at law 20 May 1668, and presided over the Court of Common Pleas with great
        dignity and legal acumen until his death 10 Dec. 1674, when he was bur. in the Temple Church, London.
        Chief Justice Vaughan who refused to take office under the Commonwealth, was a great friend of the
        learned lawyer John Selden, who made him one of his executors. He was the author of the Reports
        of Cases decided in the Common Pleas 1665-74, and his portrait was painted in Guildhall, London.
        "To great abilities this respectable Judge united a strong attachment to the English constitution,
        "which prevented his being too great an advocate for the prerogatives of the Crown." On his peti
        tion to the King July 1660 complaining that during the Commonwealth he "was plundered, obliged
        to compound and restrained in his profession as a lawyer, for his loyalty," he was app. Steward of
        Mevenith and 4 other royal manors in co. Card. (Cal. State Papers.) In the above mentioned MS.
        1661, he is however severely handled :--"John Vaughan,--- One that will upon fits, talke loud for
        Monarchy, but scrupulous to wet his finger to advance it. He was named by H.M. one of the Commrs.
        to attend the treaty in the Isle of Wight, but refused it; personally advised Cromwell to put the
        crown on his owne head, personally assisted the taking of Aberystwith, a garrison then kept for his
        late Majesty. These services kept him from sequestration; bore offices in the late several Govern
        ments. He is of good parts, but puts too high a value on them; insolently proud and matchlessly
        pernicious; by lending £800 to Col. Philip Jones and other favourites of the late tymes, procured
        the command of the county he liveth in, to continue in his friends and descendants of this day."
        Information was laid against him as a delinquent 29 June 1648.
