The Varnertown Indian people have traced their lineage to eight different bloodlines. The members of the Wassamasaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians are all bloodline descendants of at least one of these Native family lineages. Each bloodline has a unique but a shared and related history that have created and comprised our tribal community. The lineal lines are Broad, Burbage, Clark, Dangerfield, Driggers, Huff, Varner and Williams.
