Vaughans Monumental Inscriptions in St Harmon Church, Radnorshire

St Harmon Parish Church, Radnorshire (Feb 2010)

When Anne Vaughan married Stephen Wilson Kinsey on 7 December 1832 at the parish church in St Harmon, so began the study of the Vaughans of St Harmon.

A few years back the Powys Family History Society transcribed the monumental inscriptions for St Harmon Parish Church.  Here are the entries for Vaughans:
