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.

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.

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 married Polly PARSLEY, settled near the town of Crum, West Virginia.
Their family consisted of five sons and three daughters;

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.
