Census
1860 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville P.O., enumerated 24 July, lists on p. 130 as family #931:
Richd Varvel, 61, farmer; Lucinda, 21; James, 27, farm hand; Clarissa, 5. All born in Kentucky.
Clarissa is James’ daughter by his first wife. Lucinda is presumably James’ sister. Despite the large age difference, Richard is most likely their half-brother, since Daniel Varvel was about 23 years older than Rachel Mitchell, and from the 1820 census almost certainly had a family from a previous marriage.
