For those of you who do not know William Albertson he has been researching the Maupin lines for many many years. He also researches allied families. Below is an e-mail that he sent to me and said I could share it with the Via group. He has been working to prove Jean Thompson was a daughter of Amer's. Judy <<Been working the past two weeks on the Via Lines. Thanks to the help of Judy Pons I have made a great deal of progress. Documented proof is still lacking on many early parts, but the Census, Grants, Deed, and Marriage records are helping to put the descendants in their correct place. Robert Thompson and Jean Via Thompson's family is really progressing the fastest. Jean was a sister to Margaret Via Maupin and lived in the Free Union area just south of Wesley Chapel Church. It was one of their descendants that donated the land for the Church in 1835. Am reasonably sure of the burial place of Robert and Jean, but still have a deed search to prove it. A good friend and descendant in the White Hall area is helping me with my work. Her and her husband have lived in the area all their lives. Her husband raises cattle and has rented over the years many, many, many farms in the White Hall area. They know of several graveyards I had never found and that are not in any books done of the county. One in particular has Thompsons in it. We were there once, but it was in the summer. It was hot and the ground hornets were bad so we were not able to accurately copy the stones. >>
