Comments

From Dr. jur. William Griffith Hester

Thomas Bland seems to be of the James River Blands, who did NOT descend from the Blands of Penrith in Cumberland England, but from an area 50 miles SW of there and were of a different Y haplogroup.But a descendant of his, Edwin Brent Bland, apparently tested the same as the Northern Neck Blands, who do descend from the Penrith Blands.
