adjacent to the south side of the Rivana River, Goochland County, VA
Source: Virginia State Library, Land Office Patents and Grants, Patents No. 15 1732-1735, Vol. 1 & 2, page 296, New Land Form, p. 3.
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.
