4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

Sara Anson Vaux and Hannah Nicholas have researched the Vaux and collateral families of Somerset, and have published their work online in The Vaux Family of England, the United States, and Australia, chapters available from the authors as a PDF manuscript (see http://www.southpethertoninformation.org.uk/vaux_family_of_england_index%20page.htm)[1].  

Amy Terrell was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (--?--) Terrell of Stoke-sub Hamdon, a neighboring parish to South Petherton in Somerset[1-2].  She was born about 1708, probably in Stoke-sub Hamdon.  Amy was apparently listed as Ann (or Anne) in the church records.  

She married James Vaux on 18 November 1729 in Crewkerne, Somerset[3].  They had eleven children, all probably born in South Petherton[2]:

*  Ann Vaux, born about 1732.
*  Mary Vaux, born about 1734, died 1 October 1810, married 4 December 1754 to John Hebritch (1730-1807).
*  William Vaux, born about 1736, buried 5 November 1737.
*  Rebecker Vaux, born about 1737, buried 15 January 1747.
*  James Vaux, born about 1740, buried 10 September 1740.
*  Jem Vaux, born about 1742, died in 1808.
*  William Vaux (born about 1745, died 7 April 1829.
*  John Vaux (baptized 27 August 1747, buried 11 July 1806, married Joanna Lavor (1763-1836) on 2 August 1785.
*  Hannah Vaux, baptized 17 April 1749, married Jacob Griffen on 11 July 1781.
*  Rebecca Vaux, baptized 31 October 1750.

James and Amy (Terrell) Vaux were innkeepers of the Bell Inn in South Petherton[2].  They were also committed non-conformists who participated in church life at the Old Meeting House (Presbyterian) church, where the last three children were baptized.  The deaths of some of their children are in the South Petherton parish church records[2].  

Ann Vaux was buried 28 June 1780 in South Petherton, and her death was recorded in the South Petherton parish registers[4-5].  She may have been buried in the Old Meeting House churchyard.
