14 Mar 1711/12...Amor Viah and George Turner - overseers. 17 Mar 1711/12 ..order to procession the land which included the land of Marg Via. Judy, To me the above 2 records means Amer was alive and most likely the land processioned 3 days later was not his land. On the 14th he is listed as on overseer (on someone else's quarter) otherwise, he would have been listed as owner of that land, not overseer. I think the assumption has been that Marg. Via was his wife or daughter? If the 50 acres listed under Marg. really belonged to Amer, she wouldn't be listed even if he HAD died in those 3 days. . . it would have been Amer's estate or something similar - she would not have inherited the land in 3 days, whether she was wife or dau. It is not uncommon for an immigrant to have to work 20 - 30 years before saving enough money to buy land.
