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.
