[ Judy queries: John
Via Sr. states William Martin was his cousin. I know they used the
term cousin differently than we do today but do not know how the Martin's
may have been related to John Via Sr's family. Some possibilites:
1. John's mother was a Martin??
2. John's brother David married a Martin as did John's brother
William?? (William married Phoebe Martin).
I do wonder if David's wife Elizabeth was a Martin as Matthew Martin
and David Vier Jr. both witnessed John's will written in 1824.]
