It was told that when he was a Captain with 27 men defeated 500 of Britain's soldiers, who, at was called Waits Mill Bridge, undertook to cross the river Saranac at that place. It was five miles west of Lake Champlain where the river empties at Plattsburgh village. There being a double log house, standing on the opposite side from where the British undertook to cross, behind which Vaughan's men took shelter and so rapidly did they discharge their guns, and the deadly aim they took and the fatal consequences of the lead they used, that the British declared there were 500 of them and the Redcoats fled and gave up the contest.
