Thomas Wayland (Wieland in Germany) was the son of Thomas Wieland (1657-1707) and Margareth Kraft (1657-1777), both who were born and died in Baden-Wuettemburg, Germany. Their son, Thomas was born there, but traveled from Germany to London, then overseas to what was later called America likely in 1719.
Thomas Wieland (Wayland in Virginia), a blacksmith and likely a farmer, proved his importation on 4 November 1729. He stated he came to Virginia with his wife Mary (m. 28 Aug 1711) and two children, Jacob and Catherine, but did not state their date of arrival. It is believed Thomas arrived in 1719, but it was prior to 1725. His son's Adam and John were born after their arrival.
He was granted 504 acres of land in Madison County, in the neighborhood of Robinson RIver and White Oak Run, on September 28, 1728 (Spotsyvania County Grants, Book 13, Page 433). Thomas's land in Virginia, in what is now known as Madison County, included all of the land of of John Broyles (Johannes Breyhel) who had the same land patented two years earlier. Thomas lost most of his land in a lawsuit because of the conflict.
The Hebron Church was built in 1740 in Madison, Virginia using a portion of funds raised by solicitors in Europe. The 1739 tithe list has been preserved. "In James Pickett's Precinct, which was south of the Robinson River, there were: Michael Holt, Lau: Crees, Cortney Browel (Conrad Broyles), George Lung (Long, Lang), John Hoffman, Jon Carpenter, Mathias Castler, Michael Cook, Henry Snider, Robert Tanner, George Tanner, Lodowick (Lewis) Fisher, George Teeter, Adam Carr (Garr), William Carpenter, Nicholas Yager, Daywall (Theobald) Cristler, Adam Yager, Matthew Smith, Henry Crowder (?Krauter?), Christley Browel (Broyles), John Hansborgow (Harnsberger), Michael Smith, Daywat (Theobald) Cristler, Michael Keiffer, George Moyers, John Rowse, THOMAS WEYLAND, and Mark Finks."
Thomas was naturalized on October 15, 1745 (as Thomas Weeland) as shown in "Publications of the Huguenot Society at London" Volume 24, at page 8. Thomas last appears in the records of Orange County which was later Culpeper, in 1748, when he deeded land to Adam Garr, and he probably died soon afterwards in Culpeper County, in the part which is now known as Madison. He left no known will.
