Other Events:

• Census 1820: 1820, Franklin, Virginia, USA; William isn't found in the 1820 census of Franklin, however in the household of Thomas Newberry, there is a white male over the age of 45 living with them. This is probably William, as when William goes away for murder and writes out his will, he includes that Thomas be permitted to live on his land rent free. Indicating that Thomas was already living there and that they were all probably making their home together. Margaret, William's second wife is probably deceased by this time, as she isn't listed in the 1820 census nor is she mentioned in William's will of 1822.
• Witness: 1822, Franklin County, Virginia; Witnesses the will of his father in Law, John Via. Another witness is Thomas Hale.

That she left as her heirs at law the following children and grand children your oratix, Sally Cochran who was intermarried with your orator (Peter Cochran), John Newberry, Omey Newberry, Thomas Newberry, Rozina Newberry, Audrey Newberry, Anderson Newberry, Jinsy Keen, formerly Jinsy Newberry, who has intermarried with a certain Jacob Keen, Vina Profitt, formerly Vina Newberry who has intermarried with a certain Austin Proffit, John Ratcliff, Thomas Hess and Sarah Hess, the last three of which are children of Patsy a child of the said Sally Newberry who first intermarried with a certain ______ Ratcliff and whom she had the said John Ratcliff, and after the death of said Ratcliff she intermarried with a certain Hess by whom she had the said Thomas Hess and Sarah Hess and then died. Your Orator and Oratix represent that the said land is of small ??? and insusceptible of division as well on the account as because some of the heirs are married women and under disabilities ?? further respresent than that the inte***n (interest?)

The handwriting was extremely bad and hard to read - basically, the complaint was that the land was too small to divide among all the heirs, and Peter Cochran and his wife wanted to have the land sold and the proceeds divided between the heirs. The land was eventually sold at public auction and sold for $61 dollars, and each heir got their share after court costs.

Notes:

Married:
Newberry, Thos., s. Wm., and Sarah Vier, dau. John, Dec. 17, 1810. Sur. Wm. Boyd.

Other Events:

• Census 1840: 1840, Franklin, Virginia, USA; Engaged in Agriculture
• Census 1850: 1850, Franklin, Virginia, USA; Peter is listed as John Jr. in the census, but this is obviously an error. Looks like John Via Sr. was a neighbor, perhaps the census taker assumed he was John's son.

Notes:

Died:
Newspaper October 12, 1854 The Daily Dispatch, Richmond Virginia PARRICIDE-- A man named Peter VIA was killed a few days ago in Franklin County, by his son, Wm. VIA

Peter married Margaret Martin on 29 Oct 1833 in Franklin County, Virginia, USA. Margaret (daughter of Mathew Martin and Sarah Edith Staton) was born in 1813 in Franklin County, Virginia, USA; died in 1845 in Franklin County, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Died:
Peter remained in 1845 so Margaret probably died 1844/1845 Youngest child was born around this time, it's possible she died in childbirth & Peter remarried right away because he needed a mother for his infant child.
