Much of early Wakeland Family genealogy is undocumentable and speculative.

I have never found this particular individual listed except in unverifiable, family histories compiled by other family researchers.

This individual supposedly came to America in 1727 and arrived at Baltimore, Maryland. Lived for a short time in Fairfax, Virginia. He then settled in Hanover County, VA and had three children.

The listed source for the Later Day Saints' International Genealogical Index (IGI) early Wakeland family information is #8406206, "Dorotha J. Mangum." She listed as her reference source an article: "Western Waters" by a W. J. Skull, in Ohio County Times, a newspaper published Oct. 6, 1983. My search for this newspaper at various places, including the Newspaper Room of the Library of Congress (also with the aid of a librarian there) could not find this newspaper or any verification to her sources.
