Alice's parents were John Macland and Alice Needham. Married 1 JUN 1631.

Will, : On page 473 of the Isle of Wight County, Virginia Deed Book 1, it gives the estate information of John Macland. It names his daughter Alice Bryant, Grandchildren Nicholas, John, and Elizabeth Perry, grandchildren Needham, William, John, Mary, and Alice Bryant, and wife Elizabeth Macland.

The alternative MacLand descent is also problematic. William Bryan is not mentioned in John MacLand’s will fragment (daughter Alice Bryant is mentioned, but her husband is not named) and his grandson “Needham” is thought by many to be a transcription error of “Woodham.” Honestly, I put John MacLand there to try to keep the Needhams from being merged onto my tree (no offense!!).

Here are some valid objections to our using the MacLand will fragment as documentation: http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/needham/676/
