Concerning William 1751 you have a marrige date-yr-(1776) he and Phebe Martin married. I have never been able to find a marriage date. Also you have first born as a Robert Viar b abt 1777 about one year after the marriage. I have not found any document to show Robert is a child of William and Phebe's. I have John Via b 1786 as first born. I believe that William and Phebe were married after his service in the Revolution. I have never found anything to document who the parents of John Via b. 1710 were. I have the wife of John Via b 1710 as Unknown. Buddy
