Greetings to Everyone:

A lot of eMails have been sent recently.   The VIA list is growing and doing
well, and I encourage anyone on this list who is researching the VIA surname
to consider joining this group.    See message from Judy below.

The Via list now has 72 members.  I hope through the efforts of the last few
months that some of you have learned more about your Via ancestors.  In 1998 I
will continue to collect wills, war records, census data, etc. (And to add to
the Via database).  I am hoping to be able to meet Sandy this spring in Salt
Lake City to do some more Via research.

I would really like to see the various Via lines that are being researched by
members of our group.  Please post your VIA lines.

I have two Via lines.  The first one is:

Margaret Via baptized 3 Aug 1701 St. Peter's Parsh m. ca 1719 Daniel Maupin.
Margaret died 1789 Albemarle Co., Va.  Margaret was the daughter of Amer &
Margaret ___ Via.

Second line:

Amer & Margaret ___ Via
William Via & ___
Micajah Via & ___ Burnett  (Phillipi Burnett?)
Jane Via & Daniel Maupin

Unfortunately I have not been able to prove the lineage for Jane Via.  This is
of course one of the areas I will be working on this year.

For this list to be effective we need to hear from you.  Post your Via
lines...PLEASE.  Let us know if the list and the Via web page is helping, what
you like, don't like or would like to see added to the web page.  We need your
feedback.

Thanks to all of you for being part of our group and for helping the Via
family research efforts.

Nyla,

I've read through hundreds of Turner files that has nothing to do with my
Burnett-Johnson-Gatewood-Newbill  family.   

Plz let me know when you address my Burnett line.

Nyla,

While I'm not that thick into the early Turner line, I'm wondering if anyone
on the list has contacted the library at Bassett, VA which I understand is as
good as or better than Roanoke in resources. The librarian, Pat Ross is a gem
and quite knowledgeable. 

Bassett Library Address: <baslib@digdat.com>

Happy Hunting.

Hey Kathe,

Happy New Years to you and yours...
Thanks for the  comments.  Let me just say it is not my theory.  Someone else
posted it along with their documentation last month.  Sounded pretty good and
I thought they addressed the Shadrack issue in their post.

Soooo, won't hurt my feelings to be proven right or wrong, I'm just compiling
what I read.  Wish I had more time to spend in the library, but won't happen
anytime soon (maybe when I retire in 20 years..HA, HA).

Let us know what you find out.

I seem to have misplaced David Jone's address so I'll address this to the
list. In answer to David question: in Patrick county, VA, Goblintown is
still Goblintown, has been since the early 1700s.  Elamsville is still
Elamsville, has been for almost as long.  They are two separate places(as I
thought).  If one had been changed, it was news to me, but then that
wouldn't be that unusual since much of the world goes right by me.
Goblintown, so the story goes, was settled early on by a group of German
Emigrants who for some reason, pulled up stakes and moved on.  Some say
Moravians, but no one seems to know and there are some that disbelieve the
story.  O.E. Pilson tells me that land developers owned the land at that
time and in order to hold it, had to have people on it.  Historically,
during the French-Indian war, a detachment of soldiers from Fort Mayo camped
there for some time.   The Goblintown Baptist Church, founded many years ago
is still active.  I can remember my grandmother talking about hitching up
the buggy and "going to meeting" at Goblintown when she was a girl(about
1870).  They would put up a shelter for the preachers, there would be picnic
baskets by the dozens, tables and tables of food, and folks would socialize
all day while the preachers would harangue them about their sins. "Brother
so-and-so sure was filled by the spirit."  It is no longer even a community
with only scattered dwellings along the road.
Elamsville, however, is still much the same and is a community.  Certainly
can't be called a town, no longer has a post office, but is more thickly
populated and at least shares a spot on the map.
Now, for those interested in the photo that hangs in the Old Center
Primitive Baptist in Bassett(Henry County), it is that of Austin Cassell who
was an early minister there.
As you can see, I am definitely not a Historian.  Have to dig for my info,
but I hope this has helped.

The #247 comp. had a message from DAllen5178 re fwd: John Coop.  There was
no address to which to send the following requested material.  He asked for
the following family.  I don't know why he asked about Lee County.  Is that
where the family went?

Nyla,

Thanks for all the Turner info sent to me.

I thought I was on a Packwood mailing list. I don't get any, except what comes
by way of the Turners.

I'm still looking for proof of Richard & Nancy Spaulding Packwood's
marriage(census records) and their children(especially Martha md.Johnson
Thompson). I am trying to file another supplement for DAR and my proof must be
factual, with tax, census, or wills, just prrof of any sort.

Would someone out there,IF you find proof, tell me where, so I can go purchase
a book or whatever to get this over with.

Thanks again!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Nettie and Eunice for the Wood
informaton, to David for the Turner information and to Nyla for making this
all available to us.

This represents years and years of work, not to mention the hours and hours
putting it all together!!

Of course you all realize the e-mails may be a bit slow for quite some time.
It may take all of us YEARS to read it <grin>

Brad,

I pick on Nyla about Virginia/West Virginia counties all the time, but I will
go easy on you ....:-)

I finally had a chance to look through part of the info you posted to Comp 275
and 276. While I am not sure of your source of this, I wish to suggest you
take a look at  the birth counties listed for people versus when the counties
were formed. Particularly in the early Packwoods. Patrick County, I believe
was formed in 1790.

Brad,

There appears to be a significant difference in your data (Comp 276) on the
children of William TURNER (Shadrack3, John2, Richard1) and that I have found
in a variety of sources.  In particular, the info you have listed for
William's son James is listed by most researchers for William's grandson by
George.  

All that I have seen lists James, son of William as married to Elizabeth KOGER
on 2 Nov 1801 in Patrick Co., VA  and they list George's son James Marshall
TURNER married to (1) Mary Anne JAMES on 24 Nov 1853, (2)Susan E. PHILPOTT on
2 Dec 1858 in Henry Co., VA., and (3) Virginia M. WOODS.  Note James M. TURNER
is also listed in George's will as his son and one of his executors.

Here is the info as I have it compiled.   ...David
