In regards to my previous posting, I have located my notes on the Via connection with Michie Tavern which I have posted below. I still do not know the connection of Anzonetta Via (1859-1945) with the Tavern. Perhaps someone else does. The home of John A. Via and Beulah Maupin Via in Earlysville was moved in 1927 seventeen miles to its present location close to Monticello. It is now a Virginia historic landmark known as Michie Tavern. The original tavern was established in 1784 by Scotsman William Michie and was the social center of the community and provided travelers with food, drink and lodging. It is not known if the home of John A. Via was the original Michie Tavern or another log home that was also moved from the same area. There is said to be an historical marker on the roadside near Earlysville where the tavern once stood. Happy Halloween from <A HREF="http://www.ednabarney.com">Edna Barney</A> ednabarney.com
