Biography
[Jana Vardeman Diamond] was born in Lubbock, Texas.
I became interested in genealogy as a child, when my grandparents told me stories about my relatives. It was fascinating, as a small child, to hear about the famous people - and the wild outlaws - that I was related to.
One of my favorites was when my grandfather Wilmer Vardeman would tell me about his great-uncles, who were horse thieves in Oklahoma. According to my grandfather, his people moved to Texas, and changed the spelling of their last name.
- Another favorite was my grandmother Mary Mobley's story about the travelling salesman that "bothered" (molested?) one of her grandfathers' daughters. According to her story, the next time the salesman came by, her grandpa shot the man, killed him, chopped him, and burned the pieces in the woodpile. They also moved and changed the spelling of their last name.
In my research, I haven't been able to find these name changes at all! But I keep looking!
