John lived on Robert's original land and eventually inherited some of it. His daughter was Louisiana Via [my ancestor] who married Carter Via Janelle, That is great info, thank you for sharing it. I did not know that Robert III had a son John. Oh, how I wish someone were researching all these Hanover Vias who would work with me to get relationships straightened out! It is very difficult with little extant data except for a few marriages, deeds, and those wonderful tax lists. I think researching the entire group has it's advantages although we are still of course hindered by lack of records. At some point I'll try to gather as many Hanover records as I can. I hope we can continue to unearth records like those I recently found at the Virginia Historical Society. Every record helps when they are so hard to come by. Judy
