Eli YAGER [Parents] was born on 24 Nov 1794 in , Madison Co., Virginia and was christened in Hebron Church, , Virginia. He married Nancy WAYLAND on 9 Dec 1818 in , , Virginia.
NOTE: A, p.88. See also Yager family record in Germanna Record No. 10. Paul Sparks says that they had a son William Broyles Yager, according to DAR lineage 147769, Hasseltine SIMs BOWDRE, born 1821, m. 1840 to Elizabeth Columbia Whitelaw (1822-1906). But, this DAR lineage gives William's grandparents as Elisha Yager and Elizabeth Yager. Paul has them as John W. Yager and Margaret Wilhoit.
The 1820 Oldham Co. KY census has a Wayland Yager close by a William Yager.
Too old to be son of Eli.

John Thomas GILES [Parents] was born on 31 Oct 1905. He died on 27 Aug 1978 in Hazelhurst, , Wisconsin. John married Mary Virginia MYERS on 1 Nov 1925 in Peoria, , Illinois.
The son of this man, John Giles Jr., 4714 Pershing Blvd., Kenosha, Wis 53144, has done a lot of research on the line.
Mary Virginia MYERS was born on 9 Nov 1900 in Hannibel, , Missouri. She died on 27 Mar 1979 in Hazelhurst, , Wisconsin and was buried in Lakeside Cem.. Mary married John Thomas GILES on 1 Nov 1925 in Peoria, , Illinois.
They had the following children:
Thomas WIELAND [Parents] 1, 2 was born on 27 Nov 1681 in Lehrensteinsfeld, Wurttemberg, Germany. He died in 1748 in , Orange Co., Virginia, America. Thomas married Maria Barbara SEPPACH on 18 Aug 1711 in Willsbach, Wurttemberg, Germany.
Thomas probably came to Virginia about 1719 with wife and two children. His first appearance in official records was on 28 Sept. 1728, when he was granted 504 acres on the Rappidan River. He was not among those sued which is a puzzle. He may not have been among the first colonists. However, the fact that he is not mentioned in the Waldbach parish registers after 1715 makes the case for his being among them. He proved his importation on 4 Nov. 1729 and stated that he came to Virginia with his wife Mary and two children, Jacob and Catherine, but did not mention the date they arrived. On 27 July, 1737, Thomas Wieland, blacksmith, of Orange County, sold 120 acres in said county to Michael Smith, planter of same county. The land bordered property owned by John Broyle, John Recose (Rausch) and Michael Cafer (see Orange Co. Deed Book 1, pp. 63-66). That same year (1737) he appeared in the list of Orange Co. titheables in David Phillips' precinct. In 1739 he was a titheable in James Pickett's precinct.
John Blankenbaker says this in his regular notes:
=============================
Thomas Wayland (Wieland in German) came in 1719 and patented land in 1728. He lost most of this land because it was in conflict with an earlier patent of John Broyles (Johannes Breyhel). Thomas Wayland testified in his headright application that he came with his wife Mary and children, Jacob and Catherine, but he did not give a date. Like Michael Willheit and John Rouse, he too received his land patent in 1728 so he also may have arrived 1719.Thomas last appears in the records of Orange Co., Va. which was later Culpeper, in 1748, when he deeded land to Adam Garr, and he probably died soon afterwards. See the publication, "Before Germanna, The ancestry of the Wayland, Albrect and Cook Families" by Gary J. Zimmerman and Johni Cerni, pub. 1990 by the American Genealogical Lending Library.

This was in Thomas Blankenbaker's 100th note:
================================
The extant Hebron Lutheran church building was built in 1740 using a portion of the funds raised by the solicitors in Europe. By coincidence, the 1739 tithe list for the part of Orange County which includes the Robinson River community has been preserved. This gives us an excellent reading on who was living in the community and who might very well have been present at the dedication of the building.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. There were groups of English names mixed in with this sequence of names.
=====================================
The four hundred and eleventh note in a series on the Germanna Colonies:The first emigration from the villages of the northern Kraichgau to North America occurred after the disastrous agricultural winter of 1708-1709. These few set the pattern which was to be repeated many times over. (A special case occurred in Schwaigern in 1713 when a "witch" was burned. Some of her relatives thought it best to leave the village.) Trickles of emigrants turned into a flood as previous emigrants wrote home or earlier emigrants returned for a visit.
Whether the immigration was to New York or to Pennsylvania, it established new routes for the villagers of the Kraichgau who had been emigrating to eastern Europe for centuries. Many times the emigrants to Pennsylvania even had a specific township in mind. Invariably this was the site where previous emigrants had settled.
The northern Kraichgauers, and all Germans, tended to emigrate with other family members and villagers on the same ship or in the same year. For example, in 1732 fifty individuals emigrated from Schwaigern but in the next year none. In 1743, thirty-three but in the next year none. In the year 1748, no emigrants are known to have left Schwaigern but in the next year sixty-seven left. It was rare for a single family to travel alone when they emigrated. The pastor of Gemmingen recorded that six families left together in the year 1717. The group continued to travel together until they reached the new world.
In the period 1717 to 1775, only five percent of the surnames of the emigrants from Schwaigern were unique. That is, of the 305 known emigrants from Schwaigern in this period, only fifteen had surnames which were not duplicated by another emigrant. In most of these cases, the individuals had married someone whose surname was duplicated.
Thus, the general rule is that emigrants tended to travel with others of their family (same surname), on the same ship (based on the records at Philadelphia), and in the same year. This is a general rule that Hank Z Jones has discussed so widely. He even found that in the lists of names, adjacent names were often from the same villages. Thus, they provided mutual support.
They needed mutual help for the problems facing them were severe and often unusual. On arrival they had to settle with the captain and other creditors, perhaps they had to recover from illness, and they had to find friends who had come before them. Some of the business had to be conducted in a new language, English. It was a strange new world with many uncertainties.
=======================The four hundred and twelfth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies:
=============================
Looking at the Germanna Colonies in detail, the First Colony all took up contiguous land. In fact, it had been one parcel which they subdivided. But almost immediately they encountered a problem in acquiring more land because Robert "King" Carter took up the land on three of the four sides of the original Germantown patent. This forced the original group to go farther afield. One area they expanded into was the Little Fork across the Hedgman (Rappahannock) River. Much of the land they acquired here was sold to the second wave of immigrants. But a third wave of immigrants, about 1738, had to go farther to find land. John Frederick Miller bought his first land in southern Virginia. Another immigrant, who came with Miller, Hyman Critz moved with Miller but apparently these were the only two Siegeners in the area. In these actions, a strong spirit of community was exhibited where the earliest people were able to help the later arrivals. Apparently, Miller and Critz had received help in their first years from those already here but they had to move farther out when they wished to expand their operations. This was a very typical pattern.
========================In the 681st note:
========================
The next mention of a Germanna person was ten years after the founding of St. Mark's. In 1741, it was ordered that "the church wardens pay thirty shillings to Thomas Wayland's wife a like amount to Margaret Wright when they receive it out of the money for the use of the poor due to the parish." In interpreting this order, remember that the vestry never paid money directly to the needy or to the sick. There was always an intermediary who performed some services at some trouble and expense to themselves. The best interpretation is that Thomas Wayland's wife had performed some service for the benefit of the poor.John Blankenbaker
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/germhist.html
============================================I was told that this is the way the name would be pronounced: "Wieland would be pronounced like "Vee-landt" (approx.)." In his next note, Blankenbaker tells why the immigration occurred:
=====================================
The eight hundred and thirty-third note in a series on the Germanna ColoniesThe von Gemmingens and the von Kochendorfs, determined to pull themselves out of poverty, took extreme measures against the villagers in 1720. They raised the rates for grazing rights for the villagers' hogs which had been set by an agreement in 1584. The Ittlingers refused to pay and complained to Heilbronn again. In retaliation, the von Gemmingens and von Kochendorfs brought in twenty armed men to take the villagers' hogs. They put the plan into action on a Sunday morning when the mandatory attendance at church required the villagers to be there. The armed men took the whole lot of 160 hogs and drove them five miles to Gemmingen, about five miles away. A number of the younger men followed the trail of the hogs and reported back to the village elders. After much debate, another appeal was filed at Heilbronn which ruled in the villager's favor.
The "vons" ignored the imperial court's ruling and started selling the hogs at bargain prices. Needless to say, this many hogs severely depressed prices. The armed men next tried to steal the villagers' sheep but they were caught in the act and, after shots were fired all around, the armed men retreated. Fearing imperial action which might threaten their independence, the von Gemmingens and von Kochendorfs backed down and sought a truce. They had to pay something for the hogs, perhaps more than they had realized at the sale. The villagers were also net losers.
Within a few weeks, the von Gemmingens selected a new Lutheran pastor who preached obedience to the authorities. Though various actions were discussed against the new pastor, nothing was done. The Ittlingers, who had gained a favorable reputation among nearby villagers, were now the subject of verbal abuse for their indecision. The villagers then carried their protest to the preacher who rejected their demands. The von Gemmingens and von Kochendorfs could see more trouble on the horizon and they told the pastor to alter his
approach and to change the subject of his sermons. In the end he lasted twenty years.Fogelman draws the conclusion that the Kraichgauers were hardly trained in democracy but they were not apolitical either. They reacted to any threat against their society which they felt had violated earlier agreements. They tended to ally themselves with the imperial power as a defense against the local aristocracy. The intervention of the imperial power was a threat to
the independence of the knights. So the peasants were beginning to learn how to organize to protect their interests.At the same time, the conditions such as the Ittlingers endured were the reason for emigration. Episodes such the "hog war" lead to renewed emigration. Letters from America emphasized there were no petty princes there.

"Did I ever mention that Jean Strand found a church record from Unteroewisheim, Baden, for the marriage of Nicholas Blankenbuhler and Catharine Barbara Wayland in the year 1738 or 1739. Nicholas, died 2 Sep 1742 at 34 years."
He also wrote that there was a possibility that Michael Thomas, son of John Thomas and Anna Maria Blankenbaker, married Catharine Wayland. Michael was born 1717, so this Catherine would be the one he is referring to, I suppose. See the note under Michael Thomas. It is all uncertain, as he says:
"The only weakness in the argument is that the same facts can also be used to show that Catherine married other men. So I usually refrain from identifying Catherine as a Wayland."M iii Adam WAYLAND M iv John WAYLAND

The eight hundred and eighth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies
There is no question but that several Germans came in 1719 to Virginia. Still, there were hardly enough to constitute a colony, especially in the numbers that have been mentioned in some histories. I am intrigued more by the reasons that they came. Frederick Kabler, we saw, was a friend of Christopher Zimmerman. Also, I find the process of communication
fascinating. It seems so primitive to us yet it worked.Another family who appears to have come in 1719 was the Wayland family. Thomas Wayland was granted land in 1728 in the Robinson River Valley. He was not sued by Spotswood. His importation statement is silent on the subject. I have wondered if the Waylands and the Blankenbakers were friends in Germany. In Virginia there was an early marriage between the two families. There was a Blanckenb�cher-Wieland marriage in Germany not long after the original families left Germany. It makes one wonder.
Thomas Wieland married Maria Barbara Seppach in 1711 in Willsbach, W�rttemberg. Then two children were born in Waldbach, also in W�rttemberg. These two villages are neighbhors and about five to six miles east of Heilbronn. Thus, they become one the most easterly points from which the emigrants left. Since the Blanckenb�hlers were the western most point in
Baden-W�rttemberg, there was a good separation between the two families in Germany. The Blanckenb�hler-Wieland marriage in Germany took place in Unter�wisheim, a village much closer to the Blankenbakers than to the villages above for the Waylands. Nicholas Blankenbaker married Catharina Barbara Wayland in 1738 or 1739. He was a weaver. Unfortunately for the name, he died in 1742. With a name like Blankenbaker, Nicholas was probably related to the family that came to Virginia but we do not know how. Whether
Catharina Barbara was related to the Virginia Waylands is unknown.The Wieland family in Willsbach and Waldbach had a history which goes back several decades in that geographical vicinity. The history of the family is quite rich on several branches though the depth back in time is not extensive. For more information, one should consult the Before Germanna booklets, number 12 in particular. The marriage and death information about Nicholas Blankenbaker was found by Jean Strand.
Note: When Thomas Wayland patented his land in Virginia, his patent included all of the land of John Broyles who was two years earlier. In a lawsuit which followed, Wayland lost all of the land that Broyles had patented. How this could come about is a mystery.

John WAYLAND [Parents] 1 was born about 1725 in , , Virginia. He died in 1804 in , Madison Co., Virginia. John married Catherine BROYLES about 1751 in , Culpeper Co., Virginia.
John's will and the list of his 10 children given property are in the Germanna Record No. 6. For some reason, the 11th child, John Wayland Jr. was not listed. There is a "John Wayland" listed as serving in the Revolutionary War, Culpeper Militia, in 1781, as well as a "John Wayland, Jr." and it is likely these two. However, since this John (Thomas) would have been over age 50, it may well be his son, John (John, Thomas) and John (Adam, Thomas). It is known that John (Adam, Thomas) and Henry (John, Thomas) were Rev. War veterans.
Dr. John W. Wayland said on April 10, 1932: "At Madison C.H. last Wednesday and Thursday I looked into the old will books and also the old record books of Hebron Lutheran Church (near Madison C.H.). The will of John Wayland, made Feb 2, 1713 was found. He was put down as of Culpeper County, VA., (Madison County was a part of Culpeper until 1793). His wife was Catherine. He names his daughter 'Margaret Mcdonald.' He had other children, not named in the will. He owned land, negroes, etc. He made his mark. On July 9, 1800, John Wayland apparently added to his will of certain lands, slaves, and other goods that he had already given to various persons, to wit: Jacobe SOUTHER; Henry WAYLAND; David CRISLER; Joshua YAGER; Andrew CARPENTER; Cornelius WAYLAND; Margret McDaniel (McDonald?), dtr.; Matthew Weaver; Joshua WAYLAND; William ROEBUCK. It is probably that the Waylands, Henry, Cornelius and Joshua were sons of John, and the other men were sons-in-law. Margaret McDaniel (McDonald) was probably a widow. This time, John Wayland signs his name...at any rate it is not stated that he made his mark. It would seem that John Wayland Jr. should have been named in the above list...perhaps he was not liveing in 1800."
A note from a correspondent says:
"Claude Yowell, in his "History of Madison Co." 1926 p. 51, states that a "rather interesting patent recorded at Culpeper....." was made by a Thomas SMITH for a large tract of land on Island Run ( now White Oak Run).
