  	The following is from: 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 Andrew, second son of John VARNEY, married Sallie TAYLOR (STAFFORD?? -jcw20150115) 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. Sam VARNEY was the father of Mrs. Sara MUSIC, also Mrs. Jane MURPHY, wife of Johnson MURPHY, Sr., and mother of N. V. MURPHY of Rawl, West Virginia. Alex was a Christian preacher. I know very little of the family of Henderson VARNEY, except that he was the grandfather of Hank VARNEY of Red Jacket. Alvis married a Sansom; they were the parents of Mrs. Floyd Hatfield and the grand-parents of Richard Ferrell of Williamson. James was the father of Andy VARNEY of VARNEY, West Virginia, and the grand-father of Riley VARNEY. Vicy married Moses MAYNARD and resides on Johns Creek; she was the mother of Mrs. Matilda WILLIAMS and the grandmother of Bob WILLIAMS, Mrs. Sally HATFIELD and Mrs. Zettie AKERS, all of Pikeville.
