Judy, Thanks for ALL the court papers, I really enjoyed reading and studying them. I think I know everyone, but I'm not sure on Wingfield W. Via. I have in my database, William Wingfield Via born abt. 1806 Albemarle, Virginia and died abt. 1860 Albemarle, Virginia. Married Elizabeth Clarke 28 Nov 1831 Albemarle, Virginia Parents: Hezekiah Via and Elizabeth Jones. Hezekiah Via is Manoah's brother. Do I have his name wrong, and it should be Wingfield William Via? Thanks Elaine =^..^= Wingfield Via became the purchaser of 155 acres of the land at $3.00 per acre, paid your commissioner > $20 cash and executed his bonds according to the terms of sale with Hezekiah > Via as his security. seals this 17th day of September 1853. > > The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas Garland T Gardner > as commissioner of the County Court of Albemarle has this day collected of > Wingfield W Via One hundred and forty eight dollars and 33 1/3 cents.
