    1. [VIA-L] source of the forester info
    2. Thanks to Jewell we have at least one source that claims William Via was a forester of the Maupin estates in France...it is as follows: Miller Family of Orange County, by Boyce Miller, page 685 Robert Miller Jr married in 1763 (?) in Albemarle County, Va., Margaret (nick-named Peggy), youngest daughter of Daniel Maupin Sr., and Margaret (nick-named Peggy) Via (or Viet) his wife, of Moreman's River, Albemarle County, Va. Daniel Maupin Sr., was a son of General Gabriel Maupin, Huguenot refugee to Virginia in 1700; and Margaret (Peggy) Via, his wife, was a daughter of William Via, likewise a Huguenot refugee, who had been the forester of the Maupin estates in France. Too bad there are no footnotes to explain where this information came from. Judy
