Son of Adam Wayland Jr and Judah "Judith" Burke. Nathaniel's great grandfather (Thomas Wayland b. 1681) arrived in America in 1719 as a part of the Germanna Colony in Essex County (now Orange) Virginia, as German immigrants. Many settled several years later in what is now Madison County, named after James Madison, who the colonist's descendants helped elect through their Hebron Lutheran Church.

Nathaniel Skinner Wayland served in the military in Virginia (Enlisted: Private Company H, 1st Bn Reserves Infantry Regiment). Married Mary Ann Crigler January 17, 1838.

In 1850, purchased home in Madison County from Joseph Wilhoit. [Joseph's sister, Rosina Wilhoit was Nathaniel's Aunt by marriage to John Wayland, his father Adam's half brother.] A photo of the home can be see in "Madison County Homes", Dove, page 160. This is the last home he lived in prior to leaving for Missouri.

He and his wife and their 12 year old daughter migrated to Missouri in a covered wagon in 1869 along with other family members. Nathaniel settled in Franklin Township on rich river bottom land and became a prosperous farmer. He was alive in Franklin, Howard, Missouri at least until August 1896, as he held a family reunion at his home.

NOTE: In "Madison County Homes", Dove, page 160 there is a rumor Nathaniel Wayland had sons fighting on both sides of the Civil War. This would be more likely if some of the family members had moved to the boarder state of Missouri during the war, but they moved four years after the war ended.

Nathaniel's son, Fielding Henry, fought in the war for the South and was present at Lee's surrender to Grant, then walked home to Madison, Virginia. No other son is found in the records as fighting in the Civil War. My grandmother, Annie Wayland, daughter of Fielding Henry, would have spoken of this in family circles, if it were true.
