<< Does anyone have any information on MANOAH VIA, born about 1760, possibly

Hi Chloe,
I do not have anything positive on Manoah Via but here's some leads to follow:

I have Manoah Via born about 1768 as the son of Micajah Via born 1742.
Micajah supposedly married a Burnett (possibly Phillipi Burnett?). The 1790
Virginia census shows Micajah Via with 11 persons in his household, county of
Albemarle. (This census was taken I believe from the 1785 tax list).

For Micajah I have the following children:
Jane b. ca 1765 m. Daniel Maupin
Wade b. ca 1767 m. Fanny Maupin
Manoah b. ca 1768 m. Judith ?
Micajah b. ca 1770 m. Rebecca ?
Jonathan b. ca 1770 m1. Catherine O'Buck m2) Elizabeth Powell
Roland m. Ann Craig
Milly m. John Rogers
Obediah b. ca 1775 m. Ann Rogers
Hezekiah b. 1783 m. Elizabeth Jones

Micajah Via being the son of William Via I and grandson of Amer Via.

Does anyone have any corrections or additions to the above?

Judy
