Xerxes Varnon and brothers: Jefferson and Ira Thomas were raised by the Standfield family.The family tale goes like this:Father who worked for railroad was killed.Children taken?by indians to Oklahoma.Ira later escaped? and worked for a doctor somewhere.He then went back to Wilson county to family he remembered.A family named Standfield took him in.Later he went back and stole? Jefferson away from indians.Don't know where Xerxes was during this time.He may have lived with Standfields too.My dad knows the story better than I do.He is Calvin Varnon, Jr.the grandson of Ira Thomas and son of Calvin Thomas Varnon.
