Weakland name variations?

Hi Weakland researchers,
I'm researching Wickline (and earlier Wicklein) family members and have reason to think that some Wicklines were recorded in the Census and elsewhere as Weaklands and some Weaklands may have gotten recorded as Wicklines. Would suggest anyone looking at old records for one family or the other try both names. Because some of the families appear to have lived nearby each other in particular locations, census takers may have mistakenly believed they were dealing with one group when it was actually the other. I haven't any evidence that these families were actually related at all. It's just a misunderstanding of the spoken names by records keepers.
