Margaret "Peggy" Maupin executed a "Living Will", naming her grandson, Captain John Miller as recipient of her real estate, slaves, and personal property on 12- Jan.- 1837. This was recorded in Orange County Deed Book 32, pg. 153. In "William and Mary Magazine", Edition, Volume & Date not available, (RDF #00126) on pages 684 & 685 appears information on the "Miller Family of Orange County" by Boyce Miller. In that section on page 685 is information on the Miller/Via family: "Robert Miller, Jr., (2 above) married in 1763 (?) in Albermarle County, VA., Margaret (nick-named Peggy), youngest daughter of Daniel Maupin, Sr., and Margaret (nick-named Peggy) Via (or Viet) his wife, or Moreman's River, Albemarle County, Va. (Daniel Maupin, Sr., was a son of General Gabriel Maupin, Huguenot refugee to Virginia in 1700; and Margaret (Peggy) Via, his wife, was a daughter of William Via, likewise a Huguenot refugee, who had been the forester of the Maupin estates in France.)". Margaret Via is the daughter of Amer Via as stated in records of St Peter's Parish, New Hanover, VA which lists the daughters as Judith Via, Nohome Via, Mary Via and Margaret Via. This is where Amer Via and William Via are referred to as the same person. In any case, the use of the surname Via is consistent. In "History and Genealogies, Early Virginia and Kentucky", name of author not available, published by Press of Transylvania Co., Lexington, KY, (RDF #00025) appears the following applicable entry in Chapter 4, Robert Miller, Jr. of Orange, Article 1, page 66: "About the year 1763 he was married to Margaret Maupin, daughter of Daniel Maupin, Senior, and Margaret Via, his wife". This is the same Margaret Via referred to above who has been identified as a daughter of Amer Via as listed in the records of St Peter's Parish, New Hanover, VA. Again the surname Via is consistent in this source. Margaret Maupin and Robert Miller had a son John born ca 1766 who married Lucretia Kirtley on April 23, 1787 in Madison County, KY/VA. John and Lucretia’s son Thomas (b ca 1790) supposedly married a Burrus girl (maybe Elizabeth?) and they had two children, Lewis and Lucy Miller. Can anyone confirm the Thomas Miller and Burrus / Burris marriage and their children Lewis and Lucy? I THINK this may have been a second marriage late in life. This is only a guess and looking for anything Yea or Nay. D E Miller -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
