Significance: William Vardeman lived near the Rivanna River near Shadwell, Virginia at the same time as Peter Jefferson, future President Thomas Jefferson's father. The Lewis and Clark families also lived in this area at the same time. The Vardemans moved away from the Rivanna River before Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743. Thomas Jefferson eventually built Monticello west of Shadwell, Virginia. If one goes to visit Monticello one can see where William Vardeman lived by finding the Club at Glenmore golf course then follow the trace of the Rivanna river south about 2 miles where Glenmore Back Fields and a pond is located. Go west of Rivanna River and that was William Vardeman's land in 1734. |

Page 1 - Wm Vardeman in 1766 shown in Bedford County, VA as a neighbor to Henry Snow
Page 17 - Peter Vardeman Sr. in 1767 in Bedford County, VA deeded 255 acres to Thomas Snow
According to Jack Vardaman,
"This entry is very important as Peter's wife, Prudence, is specified as releasing
her dower rights to this property. This establishes that Peter Vardeman, son of
William, has a wife named Prudence at this time (1767). This is a very
important piece of evidence to support the identification of the Peter Vardeman
in Kentucky who had a wife Prudence and who left a will in Shelby Co., KY, in
1808, as the same Peter Vardeman, son of William, who was in Bedford
County, VA, in 1767."
