    Notes:

    Birth:
    Researchers have his parents as William Via and Sarah Craig, but the dates are off (William being born in 1697) if John was born in 1810, this can't be right. I think there is a missing generation somwhere, but believe John is a grandson of Amer Via

    Died:
    Based on will probated in 1786 and not being in the 1785 Census, or in any of that personal property tax records in Amherst/Buckingham County that started around 1782.

    John married Mary (Powhatan?) in 1728 in Amherst County, Virginia. Mary was born in 1712 in Amherst County, Royal Colony of Virginia; died before 1781 in Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
