Cheri,
I may be able to help a little bit regarding Mary and Virgil Burnett.  Mary's 
parents were Reuben Via and Mary E. Spencer.  euben was born about 1832 and 
died during the Civil War on 3 May 1863.  Mary E. Spencer was born in 1837 
and died 13 Jan 1888.

Following is an excerpt from a letter written by R. B. Burnett in 1991 to the 
Patrick-Henry Allied Families organization.

My father was Virgil T. Burnett, born and reared in Patrick County, Dodson, 
Virginia.  Don't know his dad's name.  My mother's name was Mary Frances 
Elizabeth Via.  Don't know her daddy's name.  He (her dad) was killed in the 
Civil War.

I was born in Patrick County, Dodson, Virginia on March 3, 1898.  I am 93 
years of age and still going.  Went to school in old rock house which used to 
be in the place where you have your annual  meeting - 1906 and 1907.  It was 
Fayerdale then.  In November 1908 we moved to Schoolfield, Virginia and I 
went to work in the Dan River cotton Mill at age 10.  Served in the Navy, 
World War I and over seas fifteen months.

Married to Lois I. Stallings, Whitnel, N.C. July 6, 1927.  We have reared 
four children, all of which have college degrees.

We are all eligible to join your organization.  I would like to have an 
active part in your organization.
                R.B. Burnett

Hope this helps,
Judy

Greetings, all..
	My apologies to everyone for posting this to the list, but I don't have 
the instructions for removing myself from the Burnett/Via list... If 
someone could send them to me via private mail, I would appreciate it... 
Thanks for your time, sorry for the interruption, and happy hunting! :)

- Bert
