    1. [VIA-L] William Via grandson of William Sr.
    2. Up until now I have not been able to find William Via, grandson mentioned in William Sr.'s will in Albemarle County after he sold the land left to him by his grandfather. William and brother Micajah were in Halifax County, Virginia when they sold their land in Albemarle. Later Micajah lived and presumably died in Montgomery County. Until now I have not been able to find William or where he might have gone after Halifax County but I now believe he was also in Montgomery County. In a land grant of 9 June 1829 to Ambrose Briant the following appears: Beginning at a black Oak Corner to McCutchins land, thence with one line, S 49 degrees, E 242 poles crossing a branch to a poplar on a ridge; S 38 degrees W 106 poles to four chesnut Oaks and two black Oaks corner to Richard Woods and William Viers land; thence with a line of the latter N 35 degrees W 186 poles crossing a branch to a white oak on a ridge corner to Frederick Gharsts land and thence with a line N 11 degrees, East 80 poles to the beginning. I do not find him in the 1830 census records. If anyone has any books or is researching in Montgomery County please keep your eye open for William. Judy
