Spouses
Elizabeth Blankenbaker Wayland, 1725?1775(m. 1745)
Maria Magdalena "Mary" Fink Wayland, 1725?1830 (m. 1777)
Daughter of Balthazar Blankenbaker (Hans Balthasar Blanckenbühler/Blankenbaker), a 1717 immigrant, and Margaret Utz. Balthazar Blankenbaker thus left no male heirs, so all his descendants are through the Fishers and Waylands. Elizabeth was the first wife of Adam Wayland. Children of Adam and Elizabeth are Mary, John, Elizabeth, Joshua.
At the time Adam's will, he had six children of his first wife, Elizabeth Blankenbaker (1725-1775) and she was pregnant. Elizabeth died of small pox during her pregnancy. Adam married, Maria "Mary" Finks (1758-1830), and had a boy and girl at the time of his death. Adam appeared on the Hebron Church communion list with Elizabeth, and then Mary.
Members of the Hebron Lutheran church building which was built in 1740 using a portion of the funds raised by the solicitors in Europe. It is located at 899 Blankenbaker Road in Brightwood, Madison County, Virginia and still in operation.
Adam Wayland made his will May 16, 1775. He mentions wife Elizabeth and "all my children". There was a disagreement between the children of his first wife and his second wife and children. Adam wrote his will on May 16, 1775 when his first wife, Elizabeth was still living, but it was not probated until October 15, 1781. It mentions only his wife, Elizabeth, and "all my children." There is an unconfirmed report that Maria and Adam divorced not long before his death. As a result of the debate over the will there were several lawsuits. Thomas Jefferson wrote the legal opinion on the matter dated August 16 1782. In general, it gave the children of the second wife their share.
So Adam's will was probated October 15, 1781, with final division of the estate in April 1788. Parts were given to John Wayland, Godfrey Yager (who md daughter Mary), Joshua, Anney, Lewis, Morton Christopher (who md daughter Elizabeth), his son Adam Wayland, and daughter Hannah.
Adam's death is often listed as 28 Oct 1781, but his will was not probated prior to his death. In Jefferson's legal opinion it is stated he died in 1781.
