Maria was the daughter of Mark Finks (about 1770 Germany - 1764 Virginia) and Elizabeth. By blood, Mark was probably German, but there is no naturalization known for him. Mark, who was likely born abt 1700, proved his importation in 1741,was living in Orange County as early as November 1736, although records do not show land ownership. He may very well have married after he went to the Robinson River Valley, so Maria was born in the Robinson River Valley of what is now known as Madison County.
Adam Wayland's first wife, Elizabeth, died of small pox during her pregnancy. Shortly thereafter, Adam married Maria "Mary" Finks (born abt 1742 to 1758-1830), and they had a boy, Adam Jr, and girl, Hannah (md David Jones), at the time of their father's death. Maria and Adam divorced not long before Adam died.
Christopher Blankenbaker had nine children and only once was there a Finks sponsor (1778), and that was Mary Finks Wayland.
Adam Wayland made his will May 16, 1775. He mentions his first wife, Elizabeth, and "all my children".
