	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. 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.

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.

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. The surviving sons are K. L., A. M., W. P. T. and C. B. 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. Hensley, lived on Road Fork of Pond Creek; deceased January 12. 1932. Jane married Joshua WEST and resides at Canada, Ky. Arminda married J.B. (Bud) Smith, resides near Hardy, Kentucky. Vicy married Johnson MCCOY and resides on Turkey Creek, Kentucky. Sally, another daughter of Madison and Piata VARNEY, died in childhood.

Sally, daughter of Alex VARNEY,.Sr., married John WHITE, moved to what is now Braxton County, West Virginia. I can not give much information in regard to her family, about all I know is that Arter WHITE was her oldest son and Mary was the name of her youngest daughter.

Jennie, another daughter of the said Alex VARNEY, married Calahan RUNYON and lived on Trace Fork of Pigeon Creek. Her sons are Alex, Albert and Green Runyon-all living; daughters-Sara married Rush FLOYD, Sr., and Vicy (last name unknown.) Both daughters deceased.

Celia, another VARNEY sister, married James WHITE, lived on Elk Fork of Pigeon Creek. Their sons were-Thomas White, deceased; Allen White, deceased; Henry White married Victoria MAYNARD, now deceased and Comfort WHITE, married Anjaline EVANS and resides on Elk Fork of Pigeon Creek. Daughters; Susan married Jonathan ESTEPP, Lucindia married W. B. ESTEPP, Betty married Sam GILMAN, after his death she married John L. HICKS. Nancy married Lee HALL and is the only surviving daughter.

Matilda VARNEY married Thomas HUNT, lived only a few years after her marriage, leaving two children-Alex and Nancy HUNT.

Hulda, the youngest of the Alex VARNEY family, married Andy HENSLEY and reared a family of six sons and one daughter. The sons were James M., married Juda VARNEY, deceased in October 1935, Compton married Polly BLACKBURN, Asa married Nancy STEELE, Andy married Nellie HUNT, Lewis married Missouri SMITH, Henry married Mariah, and the daughter, Jane was never married. Cumpton and Henry are the surviving members of this family.

The body of Alex VARNEY, Sr., was interred on Elk Fork of Pigeon Creek.

Andrew, second son of John VARNEY, married Sallie TAYLOR and reared, as I understand, seven children, namely,
- Sam, Alex Henderson, Alvis, James, Vicy and Matilda. I can not give a thorough history of the said Andrew VARNEY's family as they were reared and many still live, in the head of Pigeon Creek, and I am not very familiar with them as a whole, but shall proceed to tell what I do understand in regard to them.

Nancy another daughter of John VARNEY was the mother of the late Ambrose MORRIS, the grand-mother of John B. MORRIS of Road Fork of Big Creek.

Daniel, the youngest of John VARNEY'S family was reared by foster parents of great wealth. He remained and died in Virginia, and we have been informed that he was never married and he inherited a vast estate left him by his foster parents.

We have been informed, but do not know how authentic this information is, that there was another daughter of John and Betsy Hunter VARNEY, who married a STRATTON and remained in Virginia.

Generations Past
There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors and no slave who has not had a king among his.
----Helen Keller

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 (since) 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, - Sally
- Henry, - Jennie
- Frand (Frank), - Celia
- Andrew, - Matilda
- Adron, - Hulda Jane.
- Asa,
- Madison.

1. 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

John Varney and Betsy Hunter

The oldest VARNEY I have information about is John Varney. He was born about 1760 in Bedford County, Virginia. He died sometime after 1805 in Bedford County, Virginia. The family story is that he was gathering salt-peter in a cave in the Blue Ridge Mountains when a slide came and entombed his body which was never recovered. Salt-peter was used in the making of gun powder at that time.

He married, probably about 1780 since their first child was born in 1781. Nothing is known about this lady. She probably died sometime between 1783, the birth of her last child, and 1792, the year John married Betsy. She and John had two daughters.

John then married Elizabeth “Betsy” HUNTER, 6 Sep 1792, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. She was born about 1783 in Bedford County, Virginia, the daughter of William Hunter. Betsy and John had three sons.

Mary Ann “Polly” Varney born 1781; died 11 Dec 1871 in Canada, Kentucky. She married John W. TAYLOR on 13 April 1804 in Amherst County, Virginia. He was born about 1779 in Amherst County and died 9 Sep 1814 in Norfolk, Norfolk County, Virginia, during the War of 1812. She married an unknown after John’s death.
Nancy Varney born between 1781 and 1790 and died after 1815. She married Ambrose MORRIS born 1770 in Halifax County, Virginia. He was the son of Ambrose Morris
Alexander Varney born about 1797 in Bedford County; died 1870. He married Susannah RUNYON (1797-1852) in Bedford County.
Andrew Varney born 19 Jun 1800 in Bedford County and died after 1849 in Logan County, Virginia (now WV). He married Sarah “Sally” STRAFFORD on 9 May 1820 in Floyd County, Kentucky. She was born 7 Jun 1805 in Logan, Virginia and died Jun 1879. She was the daughter of John Miles Stafford and Nancy Runyon.
NOTE: Andrew and Sally had a daughter, Matilda, who married Nathan Chafin. Nathan and Matilda had a daughter, Levicy who married Devil Anse HATFIELD of the Hatfield and McCoy Feud.
Daniel Varney born 1805 Bedford County, Virginia
Alexander, Andrew, Mary, and Nancy migrated to what is now Mingo County, West Virginia and Pike County, Kentucky. Nothing more is known about Daniel. It is unknown if Betsy came with her children to West Virginia or came later but family stories always said that her body was buried at the mouth of Peach Creek in Logan County, West Virginia.

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
