Son of Andrew Varney and Sarah Stafford Varney. Grandson of John Varney and Elizabeth Hunter Varney as well as John Stafford and Nancy Runyon Stafford.
The censuses and other records show two different places for his birth, usually (West) Virginia, but sometimes Kentucky. He grew up in West Virginia, where his family lived close to the Kentucky state line. Soon after his parents were married, in the 1820 census it appears his parents lived in Pike County, Kentucky with his mother's parents. But in the 1830 census when John was two years old, his family lived in Logan County, West Virginia.
It looks like his parents Andrew and Sarah Stafford Varney settled in West Virginia before John was born. Andrew Varney and his father-in-law John Stafford received a land grant in 1826 in Logan County.
