Could be related to the > Runkle familly William - He is the son of Reubin & Lavinia Via of Albemarle County. His wife was Mary Ann Runkle. Dora Via was their daughter. According to Dora Via's death record in Albemarle she died at Warren, which seems a long way from Greene County, so it seems puzzling to me that she would have been buried there. The Warren I am speaking of is in southern Albemarle right near Buckingham border. Perhaps there was another Warren. There is a bit on this family in Martha Woodruff Hiden's "Runkle Family Notes", from "Tyler's Quarterly", volume 31, page 241. It gives Mary Ann's death date as 13 October 1903.
