in the city of Sabarat.

Colloque de Foix: Sabaret: le sr de Via, Ministre.
It is interesting to note that from the Colloque de Foix region their were
9 churches. But, only two of the nine came to the Synod. Ministre
de Via and Ministre de la Riviere from Le Mas-d'Azil. The other church
were Saverdun, Calmont, Carla, La Bastide-de-Leran, Les Bordes, Camarade,
Maseres and the two above. Five had letters of d'excuse and two were
absents. I believe that Ministre de Via could be one of our relatives from
the south of France.

Also in Montauban the name N. de Bia or DEBIA appears in records in
judgment by the Jesuits who charged this man for being
a relapsed heretic. He was jugded and banished in 1683 by the parliament
of Toulouse .

As You may know a Via Coat of Arms says VIA (da) from Bologne. It is
a lion stand on two feet with his tongue out and tail up holding
a feur-de-lis in his hands representing purity. The back ground is red
on the bottom and white on the top.
