I believe Vardy was shortened for Vardimon. Vardy was slightly younger( 4 yrs I think) than Meredith . Vardy is believed to be the son of Samuel Collins and grandson to old Thomas Collins. If Jack Goins and I are correct in thinking they were cousins it is possible that the George that showes up in McDaniel's Company was George, also son of Old Thomas Collins. Vardy was not in the Rev War being too young. Listers , remember this is all bases on belief and not written in stone.
