Below and to the left of Frederick Varner's patent (#205) is Henry
Shrum. The 68 acres of land that John Varner purchased in 1831 was originally a part
of land patented to Henry Shrum (patent #227). To the bottom right of Henry Shrum's
patent is George Mathias (patent #229). John Varner was a witness in an 1828 court
case of Joseph Wible v. William Bitts over a disputed 25 acres. Joseph Wible has
patent #245 below George Mathias. Along with John Varner being a witness, a Michael
Mathias, Solomon Waggoner, and a David Hepler were also witnesses--the disputed land was
bordered, in 1828, by the lands of these three men. A "George Waggoner et
al." had patent #259, below Joseph Wible. John Varner was also
involved in litigation beginning in 1820. He and David Hepler were sued by Solomon
Wagner/Waggoner.
