Regina Elizabeth Varner was the daughter of Adam Varner and Christina R. (last name unknown). (She appears on some IGI records as Christina Rexroad.) Information varies on Regina's date of birth. We believe she was born 1782 to 1784.
Regina married Jacob Wilfong on May 6, 1800 in Pendleton County, Virginia. Her father consented for her to marry, so we assume she was under 18 at the time.
Jacob Wilfong was born about 1760-1768, the son of George Michael Wilfong and Sophia Catherine Veitheim. Jacob married Mary McCorkle on January 3, 1786, in Botetourt County, Virginia. They had two children, Elizabeth, born in 1789, and George Michael, born in 1793. The couple adopted a son Henry, born about 1785. Mary died between the birth of her son in 1793 and Jacob's marriage to Regina in 1800.
Jacob's family appears on the 1810 Pendleton County census as one male over 45; one male 16-25; three males under 10; one female 26-45; two females 10-15; and two females under 10 years old.
Jacob died prior to June 1838. He signed a will that was probated August 7, 1834 and proven June 8, 1838, in Pendleton County. In the will his son-in-law, Jacob Wilfong, husband of his daughter Mary Margaret is not to have a share of the estate.
