Question on VA Deed of trust

Does Virginia require a witness to sign the deed of trust? If so can the notary act as the witness?

Courtesy of my PAW

2006 State Witness Requirements (as determined by PROPERTY LOCATION)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CT - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
FL - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary - DEEDS ONLY
GA - 2 witnesses, one MUST be the notary
LA - 2 witnesses, CANNOT be the notary
SC - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
NOTES:
1) FL - Mortgages DO NOT require witnesses, DEEDS (QuitClaim, Warranty, etc.) do.
2) Lenders may require witnesses, even though there is no state requirement
