Eldon-- I've seen this as Vardry, Vardery, Vandery as well as Vandry. In transcribing old handwriting, Rs could very well appear as Ns. There are those who are much more knowledgeable than I; jump right in, folks, as I would like to know about this too.

Ann and All, The name is Vardry McBee. From years of working in Lincoln County original records, I am familiar with his handwriting. Also, I seem to recall an article about him that Derick Hartshorn compiled. Maybe Derick will remind us of when/where that was printed.
