A Woman of Mystery
My ancestor, Nancy Varnell, is living in Orange Co. Va in 1830.Who was her husband? Where did she come from? In 1840, she is in Greene Co. Va (Greene Co. was formed from Orange Co. in 1838.)She witnessed her daughter's (Nancy) marriage to Johnson Lamb in 1837 in Albemarle Co.Nathan Mallory was also present at that marriage.I believe she had a daughter, Margarette (Peggy) also.Peggy Varnell inherited land from Edmund Jones in Greene Co. Va.Her farm is shown on an 1860 map of Greene Co. that I own. There are Darnells in the area......did they change their name? Somebody could make an old old woman very happy if they have this information.
