Mine,...There were two Wayland families in Virginia. Mine, Nevil, moved from England to Ireland early on. Nevil's father was named Henry Wayland. But the second Wayland family sometimes spelled their name "Weiland", and sometimes they Anglicized their name to "Wayland". They came from Germany. If your's spelled their name "Heinrich" Wayland, thet means he was probably from the German Weiland/Wayland's. They went to Virginia decades before mine arrived and were at the "Germanna Setlement". I believe if you google "Germanna" settlement or colony they can give you a great deal of information. Both yours and my Wayland's have a lot of "Henry's" so that can make it confusing. :)<br />Vance Hawkins' Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107621877990690135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356982852561903188.post-35111681880807030802017-01-30T18:18:47.911-08:002017-01-30T18:18:47.911-08:00Hi Vance.

Wayland's (lived in Arkansas) side. He knows little about his grandfather as he and his grandmother became estranged after they divorced and my husband's mom lived with her mother. I have been able to put together a basic tree on ancestry.com. and am trying to find out more to hopefully fill in some gaps for him. We live in Northern Virginia and are planning on a trip to Orange County, Va this weekend. From what I have found on ancestry, Paul T. Wayland's ancestors Heinrich Wayland, Nevil Wayland and Henry C Wayland lived in that area. If any of this is familiar to you or you have any knowledge of these Waylands, I would appreciate your insight. Thanks so much!Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512765451073312337noreply@blogger.com
