HATTIL
V. VARMAN * was born in Ireland, and was there united
in marriage with Abigail, the daughter of William
and Joan Sandwith, of Bellinauch, in the county of
Wexford, where he was held in good esteem as a serviceable
member of the church, from which place he emigrated (with
his wife) to this country, and settled in the township of
Leacock, in this county, in the year 1728, where he
purchased 600 acres of land, and a meeting of worship was
authorized by the society of Friends to be held at his house
in the year 1732. He was on the first grand jury that
was drawn for Lancaster county, and held various other
public and private trusts, being a man of good education and
possessed of rare abilities. He was the first clerk of
the monthly meeting held in Sadsbury. He left no sons,
but a number of daughters, who were intermarried into the
most respectable families of Lancaster county, and their
descendants are both numerous and highly respectable.
He was the great grandfather of Judge Brinton, of
Paradise. The old homestead, hear Soudersburg, is
still owned by another of his great grandsons, William
Brinton, sr., of Sadsbury, in which township a large
number of his descendants of the fifth generation now
reside, including all that highly respectable family of the
Brintons, and a number of the Pownalls, the
Moores, and some of the Coopers, of Sadsbury.
