Notes for William VARDEMAN: Shown on Plat Map M-2 owning 440 acres in 1785. (Name also spelled Vardaman and Vardeman) He settled near Hunting Fork, between Enoree and Tyger Rivers. He made will Feb 4, 1783 and died about 1788, leaving widow Bridget and children: John, William, Peter, and James.
James inherited the home plantation at Hunting Fork . Some of the other sons moved to GA and AL. James sold his lands later, so it is probable that he too, moved to AL. From Summer's book on Newberry Co.: Vardeman came from PA with his family before the Rev. War.
