Discussions about whether John Bland (C1725-1795) is a son of William Bland (C1682-1744) or William's brother John (C1688-1762) appear in VU, Page 419ff and AC: 2-1, Page 11-12 and 4-1, Page 13-15. I am persuaded by evidence that John is indeed the son of William Bland.

For critical information about a hypothetical parent-child relationship between John Bland's son Osborne (C1748-1828) and John Bland (C1770-1842), Daniel Bland, (C1780-1848) and Moses Bland (C1781-1849), see AC, 6-2, Page 13-14 and 20-22.
