Henry married Judith Naomi Via in 1720 in St Peters Parish, New Kent, Virginia, USA. Judith (daughter of Pierre Amos Amer William Via and Margaret Spencer) was born on 11 Apr 1699 in St Peters Parish, New Kent, Virginia, USA; died on 26 Mar 1777 in New Kent, New Kent, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Judith Via

Notes:

It is likely that Amer and his family were Huguenots. Several thousand of these non-Catholic followers of Calvinism sought freedom from religious persecution by immigrating to the Colonies and settling in Manakintown, a Hugeunot settlement on the James River. Amer arrived in the Colonies without his parents at age 14. He was brought over in 1677, with 13 others from France and Great Britain, to help work 700 acres in upper New Kent County owned by the two men who transported the 14 immigrants, John Webb and John Rea. Eventually, he purchased his own land and became a prosperous farmer. At least three of his children were baptized in the church of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent.

Records indicate the sons and daughters were married into prominent families and the Via in general were known to reproduce "like flies." Via were also known then and in later years to marry into the Indian Tribes. Amer and Margaret's son John married Mary Powhatan, a member of the Powhatan Tribe, the tribe of Pocahontas. John and Mary settled in Amherst County, Virginia, where, at that time, the Monacan Tribe did not allow white people to settle unless they were part Indian or married to an Indian.

DAVID VIA Sr. aka DAVID VIAR. David married Elizabeth and settled down as well in Amherst County. David fought on the Continental Side during the REVOLUTION like his father and Brothers. The first record of a Via in America was in 1688, when Amer Via, of New Kent County, Virginia lost a daughter, no name. He and his wife Margaret had other daughters later, Judith Via, baptized April 11, 1699, Margaret - baptized August 3, 1701, and baptized Mary February 27, 1703/1704. There may have been others. It is thought they also had a least two sons, William and Robert. We have no definite proof these two were Amer's sons, but since he is the only Via on record at that time who could have been their father, we can assume he was. Robert Via remained in the Tidewater, and his descendants, at least some brancches of them, spell the name Viar. The Margaret baptized in 1710, married Daniel Maupin, and came to Albemarle and settled at White Hall. She was the mother of all the Almarle Maupins.

Excerpts from "The Totem Pole" by Harold Houston Via Issue #6

Amer Via and his wife Margaret, who after a frustrating and fruitless living in Williamsburg that culminated in his having to serve a few days in the stockage for his stubbornness. His decision was to strike out into the wilderness that was at that time inhabited only by Indians. His family at that time consisted himself and his wife Margaret, four perhaps five sons. The four known were William, Robert, Gideon and Josias, then perhaps David who was a baby when they struck out on their own. They followed the Chickohominy river northward and then overland about twenty miles to New Castle Ferry on the Pamunkey River and settled slightly westward on what was to be a site for a church. At this time, this territory was listed under Blisland Parish but before the first of four daughters were born, this was changed to St. Peter's Parish where the recording of the death of Naomi occurred on March 26, 1688. The birth of the other daughters followed, Judeth on April 11, 1688, Margaret on August 3, 1701, and Mary on Feb. 27, 1703. We were able to trace most of these children, one back to Williamsburg when Margaret married Gabriel DeMaupin in 1720. Gabriel Senior ran a tavern in Williamsburg and seemed to have done well. At his death his property wentto his son Gabriel, who was the oldest and Daniel, who was with hisuncle. William Via, along with his sister, Margaret Via Maupin, went to what is now Albemarle County. Daniel settled at White Hall on the oldMaupin place, and William, who also had a son named William, and as faras we have been able to learn, he was the one who settled nearDoylesville on what is known as the Rhodes Via place.

The Story of Gabriel and Marie Maupin by Dorothy Shaffett: ...dughter of Micajah Via and _ Burnett. Michajah Via was the son of William Via. The emigrant, Wm. Via, was the grandfather according to Dr. Socretes Maupin, hence Micajah Via must have been the nephew of Mafgaret Via Maupin. there is some little doubt as to the emigrant Via's name. He is commonly sopken of as "William", but Dr. Maupin usese the name "William" but once and then only with a question mark. In the Register of St. Peter's Parish (which once included Hanover the home of the Via's) are the following entries: - "Judith, Dau. of Amer Via baptiz, the 11 Aprill. Margaret, Dauter of Amer Via baptiz 3 Aug 1701. Mary, daut of Amer Via Baptiz. 17 Febry 1703/1" Inasmuch as Mararet Via, wife of Daniel Maupin, was born in 1701, it seems that she and the above named Margaret might be one and the same person.Death between 1708 - 1711 Came to Jamestown, Va about 1683 and bought land abt 1677. See Tyler's Quarterly Vol. 31, pp 274-277

He was married to Elizabeth before 1708. (4) Children were: Margaret Via.

Was possibly a forester on the Maupin estates in France. Arrived in VA in 1677, one of 14 persons imported by John Rea and John Webb of New Kent Co., VA. On 1704 tax list in St. Peter's Parish, New kent Co., VA (Now Hanover Co.)

The FIRST Of US here was AMER "PIERRE" VIA. Amer came to this Country around 1677 from Bologne France. Escaping the HEUGONOT Persecution to settle in Mannikantown, VA a HEUGONOT Settlement on the James River. There is much about AMER that is UNKNOWN; What we do Know is that he had his Children Baptized. He married Margaret Spencer and settled down into the life of a farmer.
The NEXT on Our Line was William Via. Amer's Second Son. He Settled Down as Well into a Prosperous Life as a Gentleman farmer. We don't know who HIS Wife was.
It is here a TREND was Started that would continue throughout the Years. INTERMARRIAGE to Prominent families. THESE VIA MARRIED THEIR DAUGHTER'S WELL. It was said in the later Colonial Time "These VIA are like FLIES"
John Via is Notable for starting a Trend that Continues to this DAY. INTERMARRIAGE with Native Americans. He MARRIED Mary Powhatan, a member of the POWHATAN Indian Tribe. The Powhatan Tribe was the Tribe that POCAHONTAS was a member of. John and Mary settled down in Amhurst County, VA. Amhurst was NOTABLE in the fact that the Monacan Tribe did not allow WHITE Settlers into their lands. If you were either married to an Indian or were in fact PART Indian you were GRUDGINGLY Accepted. They did not ALLOW any WHITE Settlers in until the late 1780's.
Next is DAVID VIA Sr. aka DAVID VIAR. David married Elizabeth and settled down as well in Amhurst County. David fought on the Continental Side during the REVOLUTION like his father and Brothers.

Amer Via was born in 1650/1656 in France. He died in 1709/1711 in New Kent, Virginia. The Via family are of French Huguenot stock, and according to tradition, the name was spelled DeViar, but the first Via to come to America dropped the de and r, and most branches of the family have also dropped them since. A few still spell the name Viar. The first record of a Via in America was in 1688, when Amer Via, of New Kent County, Virginia lost a daughter, no name. He and his wife Margaret had other daughters later, Judith Via, baptized April 11, 1699, Margaret - baptized August 3, 1701, and baptized Mary February 27, 1703/1704. There may have been others. It is thought they also had a least two sons, William (l) and Robert. We have no definite proof these two were Amer's sons, but since he is the only Via on record at that time who could have been their father, we can assume he was. Robert Via remained in the Tidewater, and his descendants, at least some brancches of them, spell the name Viar. The Margaret baptized in 1710, married Daniel Maupin, and came to Albemarle and settled at White Hall. She was the mother of all the Albemarle Maupins.

Name: Amer Via  
Born: 1663 Bolonge,France 
Died: 1725 
Our aim is to start with Amer Via and his wife Margaret, who after afrustrating and fruitless living in Williamsburg that accumulated in hishaving to serve a few days in the stockage for his stubbornness. Hisdecision to strike out into the wilderness that was at that
time inhibited only by Indians. What a decision it must have been to
strike out with their family which at that time consisted besides himselfand his wife Margaret, four known sons but strong suspicion that therewas a fifth. The four known were William, Robert, Gideon and Josias but Iam almost positive that there was another named David who was but a babywhen they struck out on their own. How they followed the Chickohominyriver northward and then overland about twenty miles to New Castle Ferryon the Pamunkey River and settled slightly westward on what was to be asite for a church.
At this time, this territory was listed under Blisland Parish but before
the first of four daughters were born, this was changed to St. Peter's
Parish where the recording of the death of Naomi occurred on March 26,
1688.
The birth of the other daughters followed, Judeth on April 11, 1688,
Margaret on August 3, 1701, and Mary on Feb. 27, 1703. We were able to
trace most of these children, one back to Williamsburg when Margaret
married Gabriel DeMaupin in 1720. Gabriel Senior ran a tavern in
Williamsburg and seemed to have done well. At his death his property went to his son Gabriel, who was the oldest and Daniel, who was with his uncle. William Via, along with his sister, Margaret Via Maupin, went to what is now Albemarle County. Daniel settled at White Hall on the old Maupin place, and William, who also had a son named William, and as far as we have been able to learn, he was the one who settled near Doylesville on what is known as the Rhodes Via place.

All these children are listed with William and Margaret...yet the marriage date often shown is Mar 25, 1700...either they were married much earlier in 1683 as noted by other sources, OR most of their children were born out of wedlock, OR perhaps William had a prior wife who mothered most of the children...no other wife is mentioned in any known accounts. Also other possible children names are John, Shirley, William b. 1683, Gideon b. 1686.

There is not much known about Amer's life before he came to the New World. We do know he was a French Huegonot that came to escape persecution (Considering it was VERY DANGEROUS to be a Protestant at that time in France.) No one knows Amer's birthday. We only know when he arrived in Virginia. Via Family Tradition states he was a privateer.
Amer and his wife Margaret, who after frustrating and fruitless living in Williamsburg that accumulated in his having to serve a few days in the stockage for his stubborness.
