Phebe Angevine was the wife of Col. Jonathan Varian, officer of the War of 1812 and brother-in-law of New York Governor Daniel D. Tompkins, Vice President of the United States. A son of James Varian and Deborah Dibble, Col. Jonathan Varian, like his wife Phebe Angevine, was a native of Scarsdale although the two married in New York City on April 11, 1811.

The Varian home known as Wayside Cottage, the oldest residence in Scarsdale today, was the family home and birthplace of Col. Jonathan Varian. Built about 1715, it passed into Jonathan Varian's possession after the Revolutionary War ("The Varian House, Scarsdale," by Lyman Horace Weeks, Americana Magazine, vol. V [1910], pp. 1012-1016).
Today it is the headquarters of the Junior League of Scarsdale. Address: 1039 Post Rd, Scarsdale, NY 10583

Americana Magazine, vol. V (1910), p.1015:
"Jonathan Varian, the eldest son of James and Deborah (Dibble) Varian, was born in New York City in 1763. Early in life he was a cattle drover and, as has been already said, after settling upon a homestead in Scarsdale, became proprietor of the tavern there. He was a colonel in the war of 1812. He married, April 11, 1811, Phebe Angevine, daughter of James and Susan Angevine, of the New Rochelle family of that name. His children were Samuel, Henry Ascot, of New Rochelle; Susan Angevine, who married her cousin, Jacob Harsen Varian, of New York, and Andrew J. Varian, of Brooklyn, who served in the Civil War. Colonel Jonathan Varian died February 14, 1824.
Deborah Varian,...sister of Colonel Jonathan Varian, was born in Scarsdale, April 8, 1770. She died August 14, 1815. Her husband was Caleb Tompkins, of the famous
p.1016:

Westchester county, being a judge for forty years. His brother, Daniel D. Tompkins, was the celebrated Governor of New York, and vice-president of the United States 1817-1825."
