After studying some of the early records pertaining to the Via’s, here are some of my comments: Amer was transported in 1677. No notation is tiven to indicate that he was a minor. The belief is that Amor was born in 1656 or before. April 11, 1699 in St. Peter’s Parish the baptism of Judith Via, daughter of Amer Via was recorded. August 3, 1701 in St. Peter’s Parish the baptism of Margaret Via, daughter of Amer Via was recorded. February 27, 1703 in St. Peter’s Parish the baptism of Mary Via, daughter of Amer Via was recorded. In 1704, Amer Vice paid a Quit Rent Roll tax on 50 acres of land in New Kent County, Virginia. (This information came from a transcribed book. I’ve seen the name on original records before that was written as Via but transcribed as Vice when the “a” was not completely closed.) Amor Via’s land was processioned in New Kent County, St. Paul’s Parish in 1708/09. In 1711 Amor’s land was processioned and in his place is the name Marg: Via. It appears as though Amor died after March 1709/09 and before March 1711/12. In 1711/12 the processioning records gives the name as Marg: Via. This record may refer to Amor’s wife. It still bothers me that she is not listed as “widow” as many of the other women are, but at this point I cannot think of any other reasonable explanation as to who she may have been. In 1716 the processioning records gives the name as Mary Via. The return still lists the land as belonging to Amor Via. This seems to indicate that the estate of Amor was still not settled.
