While we do not have an exact death date for Robert it appears as though it was close to the 1788 date of this deed. It appears (also from this deed) that Fanny Ann Ingram may have been Robert's second wife. In this deed Robert deeded to his son Robert Via Jr his personal property. Robert Sr also deeded to two slaves to Fanny Ann Ingram. Fanny Ann took 4 children (apparently after Robert Sr's death) and went to Patrick County where she purchased 96 acres of land from James Ingram. This was in 1795. She names the children in her will: William Via, James Via, Ann Via, and Sarah Amer Via. Robert Jr. apparently stayed in Hanover County and must have been older than the 4 children that Fanny Ann took to Patrick County. Thus leading us to believe there may have been a first wife. <<Later, I found Fanny Ann Ingram Via in Patrick Co. Va. (by way of Amherst Co.).>> What record have you found for Fanny Ann in Amherst County? Judy

Fanny Ann Ingram was the daughter of Alexander Ingram of Botetourt Co. and the sister of James Ingram. Alexander Ingram's 1780 WB A Will (proved 1783) names Botetourt Co.There are also Land Grants for the area of Bent Mt. in the county I believe the information about Amherst Co. was from Partial Genealogy of the Via, DeHart and other Families, by George W. Via 1926; Floyd Press Print, Floyd, Va. Fanny's daughter listed as Ann is Nancy Via. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jlmaupin@aol.com> To: <VIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [VIA-L] Edmund Via > > In a message dated 11/28/2005 11:41:33 AM Pacific Standard Time, > gen42@comcast.net writes: > > <<My line is Robert Via II who married Fanny Ann Ingram.
