Kelly,
It has been quite a while since I worked on the Weiland line.This is a summary of what I have.There may be more than one Jan Berends in this Weiland family but here is the one I have.
Jan Berends Weiland was born about 1759 in Rysum, Germany to Berend Janssen and Grietje Klasen.He married Taatje Roelfs (born about 1777 in Osterhusen, Germany).Both Jan Berends and Taatje (Roelfs) Weiland died in Cirkwehrum, Germany.All of these towns are in the area of Ostfriesland, Germany.
I am related to Klaus Berend Weiland, born about 1765, who is a brother of Jan Berends Weiland.
Is this the period of time that you are researching?There may be a Jan Berends in every generation.
