Amanda Jane Shiflett

Submitted by: The late Julia Shiflett Croswell

Comments: After Elizabeth Campbell died, John Shiflett (father of Amanda) m. Eliza Via. Ira Via acted as surety. Ira and Amanda also gave statements for Eliza Shiflett's pension application. on John's War of 1812 service.

Ira Howard Via first m. Sarah Ann Sandridge in 1840 and was divorced from her on 27/28 Oct1857 (see notes below). On the 1850 census he is living with James Shifflett, age 48, (family 966) in Charlottesville. Although Ira and Amanda did not marry until Nov 1872, they are living together as husband and wife on the 1870 census and both are listed as the parents of Christopher Columbus Via when he wed Malinda Marshall in Aug 1872.

Leon Via, EFCHvia@aol.com, has contributed a great deal of additional information for this chart, and I thank him greatly, especially for the confirmation from Ira and Amanda's marriage record that her parents were John and Elizabeth Shiflett. For additional Via family information, please visit:

From Earl Marshall: pre1800vias@yahoo.com
Tombstone at the Cemetery at Woodville, Mo.:

FYI, B. Via referred to above is Horace Walker Via, at whose home she died.

While we're on the topic of Amanda's death, there was some discussion earlier about the death certificate's indication of the mother's name. I have a certified copy of Amanda's death certificate which says she died Apr 7 l9l3 and was l00 yrs 5 months and 17 days old. Died in Macon Co. Mo. Birth date 20 Nov 1812. But the info was given by Drucilla Falls (Slayter Shifflett) Amanda's son Bee's first ex wife, which I think may account for the slip-up.
