135708

25A6B

This participant closely matches Kit # 83364; paper trail takes him back to John Bland of Washington Co., GA, one of the "sons" of Elisha Bland (b. 1775 Louden Co., VA; d.1837 Washington Co., GA ); DNA evidence proves that: either Elisha was not the son of Robert Bland of Edgefield Co., SC or Elisha's "sons" were from another father (perhaps his wife was married previously and he adopted her sons?).

N67369

Willam Bland of King & Queen Co., VA (b. 1717 or 1725) thru son William (b. 1742 or 1746 d. 1788), grandson William (d. 1838), gr-grandson Pascal Bland (b. 1817); remained in King & Queen. The addition of this participant and Kit #135492 tied the King & Queen Co. Blands to others in Isle of Wight Co., VA, Rockingham Co., VA and Pendleton and Hardy Cos. , WV

Notes for Group A: James Bland, The Immigrant, (b. 1661 in England; d. 1709 Stafford Co., VA) was the son of George Bland (b. 1636), the grandson of James Bland (b. ca 1600), and the great-grandson of James Bland (b. ca 1575) - all of

Penrith, St. Andrews Parish, Cumberland Co., England. It is possible that the Most Recent Common Ancestor in Group A may go back further than The Immigrant, but for now it is assumed that James (b. 1661) was the source of the DNA for

this line [the line of James Bland b. ca 1575 and his forebears] in the U.S., through one of his three known sons, William (b. 1686), James (b. 1687) or John (b. 1688). It would not be helpful, therefore, to show the oldest known ancestor of

anyone in this group as James (b. ca 1575); that is assumed for all. I have, therefore, tried to show which of The Immigrant's sons was the ancestor (proved or theorized) of each participant.
