My ggrandfather, Artillis Madison "Matt" Varney, married Mary "Polly" May who was the daughter of John R. and Frances May in Roane County WV in1875. My maternal grandfather was Matt and Polly's son, Wesley B. Varney (b. 1880 d. 1935). My records show that Polly May was born in Calhoun County, Va. (before WV became a state) in 1857. I believe John was born in Pocahontas County in 1830.
