He married Margaret Lloyd, daughter of Sir Evan Lloyd of Bodidris, Denbighshire on 10 February 1701.[1]

Vaughan was elected Member of Parliament for Merioneth In a by election on 29 April 1701 on the death of Hugh Nanney. He was a lifelong Tory, and did not vote in any of the recorded divisions after 1715. He was Constable of Harlech castle from 1704 to 1716.[2]
