Hi Everyone, We got 2 more results in tonight, for our DNA Project. It looks like the Albemarle family lines are matching real close to each other. Kit 41120 & Kit 43157 had an Exact Match! I am excited about that, since Kit 41120 is my twin brother. So far we got 7 results and 5 more to get. I think it will be interesting to see how the NEW members match the other members of the Project. It takes about 2 months to get the results of the DNA test. Come and join the FUN! Please check out all the results! http://www.familytreedna.com/public/ViaSurnameProject/ Elaine =^..^=

Good Evening, Group!!! Talked with several offices today concerning out search. The Public Works Department of Hanover Co. told me that Matadequin Creek, mentioned in the tax records, is only about four (4) miles long and then crosses into New Kent County. This helps limit the search alot. From USGS I got the names of the two quadangle maps on which Matadequin Creek is shown. I plan to order these two quadangle maps soon. William

Thanks to Tom Via who shared some marriage certificates with me, so I can share with you all. If you want a copy of any of these certificates.

William, In 1977, I handcopied the Land and Personal Property Tax Records of Hanover County that commenced in 1782, for all of the families of Via, Peace and Turner that are listed [lines of Turner and Peace are my proved ancestors also]. I have recently purchased the abstracts of all records from Antient Press that comprise three books and continue through 1796. I copied each year until 1883, when my direct Via line lost connection to Virginia and came to Texas after a brief stay [by relative standards] in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. I imagine these records are available through Interlibrary Loan today. When I copied them, the first years commencing in 1782, were available on positive reel #137 from the VA State Archives through my Life Membership in Ex-Students Ass'n. of the University of Texas here in Austin. I spent many hours and days in the university library viewing film on an old microfilm reader, but I must declare that the quality of the images viewed on that old reader that had to be turned by hand were far superior than what I see today. Because I had to manually turn to find the names [two districts---St. Paul's and St. Martin's---few Vias were ever in St. Martin's Parish], I believe that I didn't miss any years and names. The names were alphabetized which does not help us at all in determining neighbors, but in 1782, the enumerators dated the visits to each land owner. I copied all the names listed commencing on April 19 and continued through April 26. On April 25, Wm Barnes - 100 acres; Auleas '[?]' Lane - 70 acres; Cyrus Via [later I learned that Josias and sometimes Joseph were aliases, and I don't know why; I once thought these were three different men but they are not] - 100 acres; Gideon Via - 100 & 75 [two parcels] acres; Robert Via - 63 and 65 acres; Littleberry Via - 113 acres [note that all Via men had roughly the same amount of land; differences could be that some acres were more highly valued, and they were, than others]; Matthew Hill - 26 acres; Sarah Hill - 50 acres; Elisha Hazelgrove - 184 acres; Nathan Thacker - 75 acres; Wm. R. Burnett - 30 acres; Elisha Burnett - 43 acres; John Burnett - 65 acres; James Goodwin - 300 acres; Wm. Cunningham - 50 acres; James Brown - 200 acres; John Holliday - 73 acres; Wm. Holliday - 73 acres. It is obvious that the enumerator was stopping off at each place as he came to it. On April 26, he visited John Street, Goodman, White, Jordan, Susannah LeMay, Wm. Turner, John McDugle, Ann McDugle, John Turner, Ann Turner, Jedediah Turner, Joseph Peace, Nathaniel Turner [my ancestor] and John Garland. Their acreage is listed, of course. On April 24, Jack, Jeremiah, Mary, Edmund and Littleberry Wade, Jr., James Turner, Charles Talley, John Pasley [Parsley], Turner Slaughter, Minoah Lipscomb, John Barker were enumerated with their respective acres. If any of these land deeds did not go up in flames in Richmond when the Confederates set fire in advance of the Yankee forces and are extant for that year, 1782, then we should be able to determine where the land of the Vias that owned land in Hanover during that time period was located. I have based the fact that these men were probably brothers who inherited their respective acres and were sons of the original Robert Via, son of Amor Via because they are listed in the enumeration one after another which speaks of a division of land from one parcel. My applications to membership in various lineage organizations with exacting standards of proof have been accepted [along with other evidence, of course] based on this precept; i.e., that these four men were brothers and sons of Robert. I am not looking at the St. Paul Vestry book, but I believe I remember that many of the names enumerated in 1782, were in Robert's precinct in the 1750's. After his death, in the same precinct or in slight shifts because of population growth, some of these men are also listed. To answer your specific question, William, distance from courthouse does not commence until 1814, and adjacent land owners are not listed until 1813. However, there are many notes made in the margins for various individuals during the years, especially notes related to land transfers either through sale and/or inheritance. Amor Via's land was in the eastern end of the county near the New Kent County line. I don't know if it be possible to determine positively its location, but we know approximately where it was. I know it was not far from that of son, Robert [I concur that William probably inherited or was given Amor's 50 acres], land that I know precise location [sale of some of it in 1933]. In early 1700's people married their neighbors if they stayed put so Robert didn't marry far from where Dad lived, and he grew up and worked. I think he probably married a heiress. He ended up with many more acres of land than Amor ever had. The Personal Property Tax records are especially revealing because every male is listed [sometimes commencing with age 16 and sometimes commencing with age 21, the most common; the law changed through the years] either separately or if he were in the household of another, he was listed in that household. Through the years it is easy to determine that most Via men left Hanover because their names disappear from the Personal Property Tax [a virtual poll tax] record. Littleberry and the second Robert are my ancestors, and Littleberry is listed with sons Littleberry and William in 1782, which also gives indirect information about Littleberry's age. Sons Littleberry and William disappear from the records before 1790. The sons went somewhere. Gideon had son Edmund, who had 10 sons, but only one, James, remained in Hanover that I am aware of. This would account for different degrees of kinship. DNA, correct? Janelle

Good Morning, Janet!!! Remember the White Hall area where the Maupins lived is very close to the intersections of Albemarle, Augusta and Rockingham Counties. Some of the Maupins lived in Rockingham Counties very close to the line. Perhaps you should check Greene also. I will try and get my records from my old computer today or tomorrow.

According to "The Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia 1706-1786", C.G. Chamberlayne, Saint Paul's Parish was created in 1704, from the portion of Saint Peter's lying above the mouth of Matadequin Creek. On 14 March 1708/1709, Amor VIAH and George TURNER were appointed overseers to procession Precinct 27 in Saint Paul's Parish. In the processioning return Amor VIAH, & Geo. TURNER subscribed that George TURNER's land was located on the main run of Matadequin Creek, 30 chains below the mouth of Spring Bottom. ~~Edna Barney

Hello Everyone!! I was curious, does anyone have any pictures of William Via's house or the family's? I have pulled some houses up, but I dont know if I pulled up the right ones or not. Penny

Good Evening!!! Widow Thompson, Must be Judith Thompson wife of Robert Thompson, Sr. who, one inter-net site said died about 1708. I think this Robert Thompson, Sr. was the father of Robert Thompson, Jr. who married Jean Via. The 1731 listing shows Robert Thompson again so this must be Jr. who is married to Jean Via. I know they were in the Free Union area by 1743. Do you think Wm Via's land was on the county line being in two parishes?

Good Afternoon, Group!!! Will be working on the location of the Via parcel in Hanover County over the next few weeks. Anyone having any information on the location or any ideas about where it is please post. I was under the impression that it was southeast of Hanover Courthouse three to five miles. Anyone know anything other than that????? Plan to order current Quadangle maps and also plan to order copies of the first maps done I believe in the 1930's. Worked with some of the early maps while living in Albemarle Co. and found that the early maps had some of the original road and some had "X's" where graves or cemeteries were. By the way, have many of the large county maps of Missouri. If anyone is looking for information on the families land in Missouri please let me know and I will see if I have the map for that county. William

Good Afternoon, Group!!! Sometime it takes a lot of (around the block) research to find what we are looking for. What I am looking for, and probably many of you, is the location of the 50 acres of Wm Via's land, the place on which he is probably buried. I know this is alot of IFS, but: If Jean Via married Robert Thompson before the death of her parents, Robert Thompson's family must have lived 2-5 miles from the Via family. Remember this is 1700-1717 travel over a five mile distant would not be likely. If we can locate the exact spot where Robert's parents lived this would help locate Williams land. This along with other data could narrow the search for this 50 Acre parcel. Comments please!!! Anyone with additional locating facts please post!! William

Good Afternoon, Group!!! For those of you who are related to either of the above families. I am of the opinion that Margaret Via was an orphan by 1717 and went to live with her sister Jean Via Thompson, wife of Robert Thompson. About 1719 she married Daniel Maupin, where is still a good question. By the fact that Jean was nine years older than Margaret and that by the time of her parents death Jean had apparently married Robert Thompson I believe that Margaret may have lived with them. Also, she named one of her daughters Jean Maupin after her sister. Today I have found something that may also indicate a close connection. I talked with Judy about wondering why Daniel moved in 1748 to the (now) White Hall area of Albemarle County, VA. The Road Order Book for Louisa County 1742-1748 is on line. In this book it has an order for Robert Thompson in 1743 showing that he was living in the area north of Free Union, VA. This means that Robert and Jean were in the area at least five years before Daniel and Margaret Via Maupin. If anyone has questions please post!!!! William

Thanks, everyone, for your help. There were some good clues to work on - and place my Eliza Via Humphrey with William Via, born 1791. The 1860 Augusta Co. census shows William living alone just two doors from George & Eliza Humphrey. If this is William who married Nancy Maupin, it appears that Nancy has died between 1850-1860. Assuming that the William Via, Sr. in the 1840 Albemarle census and the William Via in 1850 Augusta are the same, there are two little girls unaccounted for - possibly one born between 1836-1840 and one born between 1830-1835 - or this is possibly Harriet and both little girls born 1836-1840 have died. They were not in the 1850 census with William & Nancy.
