  Death	Abt 1789  [1]
  Notes	William Vardeman of Goochland Co. Virginia, who received 200 acres, on the South side of the Rivanna River near the Mountains, adjacent to Charles Lewis, rec. 27 Sep 1734, for one pound (stirling) p. 296, Patent Book 15, from the book Cavaliers and Pioneers 1732-1741, 975.5 R 2n, p. 52. (Courtesy of Leatha Betts) Called "Old William." He relocated to an area of "up-country" South Carolina which became part of the old 96th District and, in 1782, Newberry County. It had only been open to settlement for about 30 years and was the frontier with the Cherokee Indians at the time of this arrival. He left a will dated in 1783--probated in 1789--in which he named his current wife and his four sons in order: John, William Jr, Peter and James. Unfortunately, he did not name any of his daughters.

  	They were married at Holy Trinity (Old Swede's) Church in what is now Wilmington, Delaware. Additional church records place them in this area of Delaware through 1724. Ft. Christina, the oldest European settlement in the Delaware River valley, was founded by the Swedes under Peter Minuit in 1638. It was captured by the Dutch under Peter Stuyvesant in 1655 and renamed Altena. The British captured it from the Dutch in 1664, and it was eventually renamed Wilmington by Quaker settlers. After leaving Delaware, William and Magdalene made their way into the Blue Ridge Mountain area of Virginia.
