Hi All,

This has probaby been asked and answered before, however I have just
recently discovered my Via line and am becoming increasing confused by it
: /

I am related to the Via's by two different branches, Amanda Via, who
married Anderson Newberry, and Sarah Via who married Thomas Newberry.
Amanda and Anderson I pretty much have straight, but Sarah Via's father,
John Via, is where I'm running into problems.

I know that Sarah's father John Via married Sarah Wright, however I can
not find the proof of John's father.

The many sources that I have visited on line claims Gideon Via is John's
father, however from the documentation, Rev. War Pension records, etc. It
claims John was a John Via, Jr. Suggestion his father would have been a
John Via Senior. Can anyone clear this up for me? I would greatly
appreciate any help you could give regarding this.

Thank you,

Michelle
