	A History of the Varney's in Pike and Mingo Counties and Elsewhere as told me by my father, Alex Varney, and from other authentic sources.) by Nancy Jane Varney September, 1936
	edited, empty fields, 20230716GHLn- I found the website; this is one section: http://generations-past.net/varney/varney-history.html A History of the Varney's in Pike and Mingo Counties and Elsewhere as told me by my father, Alex Varney, and from other authentic sources.) by Nancy Jane Varney September, 1936 The information I shall attempt to give in regard to the VARNEY family was given me by my father, the late Alex VARNEY, and is not of written record, but was handed down from generation to generation. Some of the information, such as records of the families of my father's uncles and aunts has been given me by members of the families, and some by grand-children. The first VARNEY of whom we have any history, was my great-great-grand-father, John VARNEY, who married Betsy HUNTER and lived in Bedford County, Virginia. To that union were born three sons and two daughters that we know of. The sons were: Alex, Andrew and Daniel-The daughters were: Mary and Nancy. While the said John VARNEY was gathering salt-peter in a cave in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Bedford County, Virginia, a slide came and entombed his body, which was never recovered. Alex, Andrew, Mary and Nancy migrated to this country and settled in what is now Pike County, Kentucky, and Mingo County, West Virginia. I do not know whether the mother came to what is now West Virginia, with her four children, or came later. However she came, as we have always been informed that her body was buried at the mouth of Peach Creek, in Logan County, West Virginia. Alex VARNEY, as I understand, the oldest son of John and Betsy Hunter, married Susie RUNYON and reared a family of seven sons and five daughters, namely, John, Henry, Frand, Andrew, Adron, Asa, Madison, Sally, Jennie, Celia, Matilda and Hulda Jane. John married Annie ROMANS, settled about where the little town of Belfry now is, and later moved further up Pond Creek, as I understand, near where Stone, Kentucky now is. The children of John and Annie VARNEY are as follows: W. A. (Anderson) VARNEY, married Jennie BLACKBURN, Henry married Lydia BLACKBURN, Flem married Sallie BLACKBURN, James married Ruth CANADA, Levi married Sarah Ann COLLINS, Adron married Lousia COLLINS, Floyd married Mary COLLINS, Lewis married Lucinda May, parents of Keenis VARNEY, of McAndrews, Kentucky, Vicy married Martin COLLINS, Celia married Moses CHAPMAN, Sally married Nathan COCHRAN, and Alex married Lousia PINSON, parents of the late Joe VARNEY, of Road Fork of Big Creek. Lewis is the only surviving member. Frank married Polly WILLIAMSON and settled on Brushy Creek; they reared a family of three sons and nine daughters. The sons were: Mitchell, Lark and Henry. Mitchell married Susie SMITH, Lark, who was a Baptist preacher, married Delilah FRANCIS, the parents of Mrs. J. G.

The daughters were Annie, who married Jack CANADA; Nancy married Elisa FIELDS, Susie who married Lee SCALF, Lishie married John FRANCES, Luemma married Ran HARRISON, Mary married Green CANADA, Vicy married Avery STATON, Easter married Joe FIELDS and Jane married Lark LOWE, Sr. None of this family survive, Elder Lark VARNEY, being the last, died in June 1935.

After Andrew, whose family history I have just given, the next brother was Adron, commonly known as "Uncle Add." He was born in the year of 1821. He married Lucy WEBB and settled at the mouth of Sycamore Creek, later lived around the mouth of Pond Creek, about twenty-eight years after his marriage moved to what is now the town of Kermit, West Virginia, and two years later moved to the mouth of Jennies Creek, there he lived until the time of his death, in February, 1906.

He was a great educator; taught in the public schools for forty-seven years-a Christian gentleman, a teacher of morals and manners, was a great lecturer and always held out the very best of encouragement and advice for the up-building of the young people and the country at large. I can not say enough to do justice to the great man. I started to school to him, as a teacher, and if my memory serves me right, went to him seven school terms.

He was like a father, sympathetic and kind, always trying to help in every way possible. He passed to his reward October 21, 1921.

military pension 13 Apr 1855 Pike County, Kentucky, USA

Polly Taylor, widow of John Taylor [Sr], deceased, made an application for bounty land under the Act of 1855. She was allowed 160 acres of land for her husband's service in the War of 1812. Her son-in-law, Aly Smith (husband of her daughter Sarah Taylor who was born after John Taylor [Sr]\'s death), was present at the affidavit Polly made in Pike County, Kentucky, in 1856. Pike County, KY, borders Logan County, VA (later WV), where Polly lived.

Official records from the War of 1812 show that John Taylor served as a private in Capt. Tabb's and Capt. Parson's companies from the 4th regiment of Virginia militia and that he died in the hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, on 9 December 1814 while in service.

His widow, Polly [Varner] Taylor, applied for a pension which was executed on 30 March 1853. She was listed on that pension application as age 71 and living in Logan County, Virginia, in 1853. On her application, she listed the names of her children with John Taylor:
(1) daughter Jane Taylor, aged 49 in 1853
(2) son William Taylor, aged 45 in 1853
(3) daughter Harriet Taylor, aged 43 in 1853
(4) daughter Charlotte Taylor, aged 42 in 1853
(5) daughter Matilda Taylor, born in February 1814, aged 39 in 1853
(6) son John Taylor [Jr], born 13 April 1809, who was deceased about 10 years prior to 1853

On 13 April 1855, Polly Taylor, widow of John Taylor [Sr], deceased, made an application for bounty land under the Act of 1855. She was allowed 160 acres of land for her husband's service in the War of 1812. Her son-in-law, Aly Smith (husband of her daughter Sarah Taylor who was born after John Taylor [Sr]'s death), was present at the affidavit Polly made in Pike County, Kentucky, in 1856. Pike County, KY, borders Logan County, VA (later WV), where Polly lived.

Cyrus Taylor, also a resident of Logan County, VA, joined in the affidavit made on behalf of Polly Taylor; however, the record did not indicate the relationship between Cyrus and Polly.

NOTE: Jess Taylor, b. 1805, James Taylor, b. 1809, and Allen Taylor, b. 1810, were NOT listed as sons of John Taylor [Sr] in the war records. These children were born before the death of John Taylor, so there's question of whether they are sons of John Taylor [Sr].

A History of the Varney's in Pike and Mingo Counties
and Elsewhere as told me by my father, Alex Varney, and from other authentic sources.)
by Nancy Jane Varney
September, 1936

The information I shall attempt to give in regard to the VARNEY family was given me by my father, the late Alex VARNEY, and is not of written record, but was handed down from generation to generation.
Some of the information, such as records of the families of my father's uncles and aunts has been given me by members of the families, and some by grand-children.

The first VARNEY of whom we have any history, was my great-great-grand-father, John VARNEY, who married Betsy HUNTER and lived in Bedford County, Virginia.

To that union were born three sons and two daughters that we know of. The sons were: Alex, Andrew and Daniel-The daughters were: Mary and Nancy.

While the said John VARNEY was gathering salt-peter in a cave in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Bedford County, Virginia, a slide came and entombed his body, which was never recovered.

Alex, Andrew, Mary and Nancy migrated to this country and settled in what is now Pike County, Kentucky, and Mingo County, West Virginia.

I do not know whether the mother came to what is now West Virginia, with her four children, or came later. However she came, as we have always been informed that her body was buried at the mouth of Peach Creek, in Logan County, West Virginia.

Alex VARNEY, as I understand, the oldest son of John and Betsy Hunter, married Susie RUNYON and reared a family of seven sons and five daughters, namely, John, Henry, Frand, Andrew, Adron, Asa, Madison, Sally, Jennie, Celia, Matilda and Hulda Jane.

John married Annie ROMANS, settled about where the little town of Belfry now is, and later moved further up Pond Creek, as I understand, near where Stone, Kentucky now is.

The children of John and Annie VARNEY are as follows: W. A. (Anderson) VARNEY, married Jennie BLACKBURN, Henry married Lydia BLACKBURN, Flem married Sallie BLACKBURN, James married Ruth CANADA, Levi married Sarah Ann COLLINS, Adron married Lousia COLLINS, Floyd married Mary COLLINS, Lewis married Lucinda May, parents of Keenis VARNEY, of McAndrews, Kentucky, Vicy married Martin COLLINS, Celia married Moses CHAPMAN, Sally married Nathan COCHRAN, and Alex married Lousia PINSON, parents of the late Joe VARNEY, of Road Fork of Big Creek. Lewis is the only surviving member.

Frank married Polly WILLIAMSON and settled on Brushy Creek; they reared a family of three sons and nine daughters. The sons were: Mitchell, Lark and Henry. Mitchell married Susie SMITH, Lark, who was a Baptist preacher, married Delilah FRANCIS, the parents of Mrs. J. G. HARRISON, of Pikeville, Kentucky, and Henry first married Bell SESCO and his second or last wife was Lizzie WALTERS. The daughters were Annie, who married Jack CANADA; Nancy married Elisa FIELDS, Susie who married Lee SCALF, Lishie married John FRANCES, Luemma married Ran HARRISON, Mary married Green CANADA, Vicy married Avery STATON, Easter married Joe FIELDS and Jane married Lark LOWE, Sr. None of this family survive, Elder Lark VARNEY, being the last, died in June 1935.

Henry C., the third son of Alex VARNEY was born September 15, 1817, and died April 16, 1896. He married Jane Yantas Mcneely settled on Rockhouse Fork of Pigeon Creek, and to them were born three sons and eight daughters. The sons were
1. Lewis, married to Elizabeth FARLEY, the parents of
Sidney L., and Wallace VARNEY, of Williamson,
T. B. VARNEY, of Matewan,
Henry VARNEY of Chauncey,

Nancy Jane, the youngest, born November 25, 1862, lives at Logan, West Virginia-married Alford BUSKIRK; to that union were born three children: Elsie, May and Richard A., who are all living.

After Andrew, whose family history I have just given, the next brother was Adron, commonly known as "Uncle Add." He was born in the year of 1821. He married Lucy WEBB and settled at the mouth of Sycamore Creek, later lived around the mouth of Pond Creek, about twenty-eight years after his marriage moved to what is now the town of Kermit, West Virginia, and two years later moved to the mouth of Jennies Creek, there he lived until the time of his death, in February, 1906.

His family consisted of two sons-Thomas and Samuel; the daughters were Sarah Ann, Francis, Nancy and Hulda. Thomas married Polly PARSLEY, settled near the town of Crum, West Virginia. Their family consisted of five sons and three daughters; the sons are S. M. VARNEY of Sciotaville, Ohio, A. J. VARNEY of Williamson, J. H. VARNEY of Delbarton, West Virginia, John B., and W. J.

The youngest brother of Adron VARNEY, etc., was Madison, born in the year of 1830. He married Piata STATON and settled on Road Fork of Pond Creek, spent his life there and died at the old home place in January, 1908.

Madison's family consisted of one son and seven daughters. The son was Asa H. VARNEY, born December 4, 1854; married Nancy WEST, and to them were born five sons and seven daughters.

VARNEY; surviving daughters are Martha, Pauley and Agnes BLACKBURN of Road Fork, Kentucky, Alice LIGON of Appomattox, Virginia and Bertha WILSON of Stone, Kentucky. One son, Greene and three daughters-Laura Jane, Gertrude and Joyce died in infancy.

Asa H. VARNEY, was probably one of the most widely known of any of the VARNEYs. He was a great educator; taught in the public schools for forty-seven years-a Christian gentleman, a teacher of morals and manners, was a great lecturer and always held out the very best of encouragement and advice for the up-building of the young people and the country at large. I can not say enough to do justice to the great man. I started to school to him, as a teacher, and if my memory serves me right, went to him seven school terms. He was like a father, sympathetic and kind, always trying to help in every way possible. He passed to his reward October 21, 1921.

The daughters of Madison VARNEY were as follows: Nancy married Thomas JOHNSON, resided near Catlettsburg, Kentucky, deceased. Pricey married Henry LOCKARD, deceased in May 1921. Juda married J.M.

The Varneys
Varney family

This picture is of some of the descendants of Lewis Varney and Betsy Farley who started their family on a farm in Ragland, Mingo County, West Virginia.

Times change but the Varney family has kept to the old traditions of family reunions. In the past on what is now called Memorial Day the Varney family including aunts, uncles, cousins and other assorted kin, gathered together at the Varney Cemetery in Ragland, Mingo County, West Virginia, to decorate the graves of deceased relatives and to honor their memory. In those days this event was called Decoration Day. Flowers were cut from various yards to be used in decorating the graves. The day was filled with the singing of hymns and preaching by various ministers. This was usually an all day affair. After the ceremonies the families gathered at the residences of local kinfolk for food and fellowship.

Although we no longer go to cemeteries to decorate graves we still enjoy getting together to renew ties and enjoy the fellowship of kinfolk.

The Thompson's
The origin of our branch of the Thompson family is unknown.

The oldest member of the family that I know about is F. M. Thompson. We know that he had a son in Giles County, Virginia in or about 1868 and he was married to Elizabeth. We know this from the Giles County Wedding license for his son Robert Harvey Thompson.

Robert Harvey Thompson had a son named Arthur Francis Thompson who married Nancy Alice Varney of Ragland, Mingo County, West Virginia. Their son was Carl Ray Thompson.

Hopefully, more information will come to light, but for now this family's history is a mystery.

Robert Harvey Thompson
Robert Harvey Thompson was known as Harvey or Harve. I have been able to find out very little about him. Robert Harvey Thompson His marriage license states his parents were F.M. Thompson and Elizabeth from Giles County, Virginia. He married Emma T. Vaught on 26 February 1889 in Giles County, Virginia. He was born about 1871, in Virginia and died 21 December 1946, in Montgomery County, Virginia. His residence and birth place were listed on his Wedding Certificate as Giles County, Virginia and his occupation was farming.

Emma Templeton Vaught
Emma remains another mystery. The wedding license states that she is the daughter of Riley H. Vaught. No mother is listed. The license says she is 25 years old which would mean she was born about 1864 but her gravestone says she was born 26 February 1858 and died 20 November 1918. She is buried in the Vaught Cemetery in Spruce Run, Giles County, VA. Her stone states that she is the wife of R. H. Thompson,

Harvey and Emma had three known children:
Mary Myrtle Thompson (1891-ca 1955) married Efford Oran Wysong.
Kate Camilia Thompson (born ca 1894) married Luther Kessinger.
Arthur Francis Thompson (1897-1971) married 1st Nancy Alice Varney; 2nd Lelia Estep.

After the death of Emma, Robert married Mary B. Criner (circa 1901-1975) in about 1920. They had eight known children, all born in Virginia:
Robert Andrew Thompson born ca 1921;
John Harvey Thompaon born ca 1922;
Fred Harding Thompson born ca 1924;
William Sunday Thompson born ca 1926;
Evelyn Thompson born ca 1929;
Lois Jane Thompson born ca 1931;
Charles Winston Thompson;
Kenneth Howe Thompson born ca 1938.

Harvey's family is found on the following census:
1910 Federal Census for Newport, Giles County, Virginia
1920 Federal Census for Newport, Giles County, Virginia
1930 Federal Census for Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Virginia
