- Reference Number: 5478
- Birth: 1808, New Hampshire, USA
- Birth: Jan 1808, Vermont, USA

- Residence: 1870, Richfield, Genesee, Michigan, USA
- Residence: 1880, Richfield, Genesee, Michigan, USA
- Death: 21 Aug 1896
Notes:
Appears in 1840 census living next to Hiram Maxfield in Groveland Twp. Varnis & Hiram appear in legal notice in 1837 New York Newspaper, as "residents of Michigan". There ages, both born in New Hampshire, both moving from New York to Michigan at about the same time, living next to each other in Michigan, both marrying female last name of Irish, lends credence to their being closely related, probably brothers.
Varnis has child born in New York in 1831 and 1834, then the next one in Michigan in 1838. He apparently moved to Michigan in that 1834-38 time period.
Varnis appears twice on the Oakland County land records: 14 June 1843 Varnie Maxfield purchased from David Irish 40 acres. 10 Jun 1855 Varnis Maxfield quit claims to Manly Irish (son of David). David died in 8 Jan 1855 so this quit claim may have had something to do with settling David's estate.
Also on the 1840 census D (David) Irish and L (Liberty) Irish appear as the two households just prior to the Hiram and Varnis households.
