1. ↑ Wayland reported confusion about his mother's name, citing a source provided by the Judson family that in one place named his mother as Rebecca Minor and in another place identified her as Mary Judson. Although Adoniram's mother's name wasn't recorded at his baptism, his mother is determined to be Rebecca based on the Rhode Island marriage record that gives his parents' names.
