I do not understand what happen the first time I tryed to send this to the list. Elaine, I too am a lad of mississippi and yesterday if I had only knew you would meantion Col Theodorick Bland b 1740, I could have cleared up (I think ) the Poythress word for you. His uncle Col Richard Bland b 1710 was married to Anne Poythress. Richard was a member of the first congress of America. Both Richard and Theodorick were my cousins, Col Bland in his will which I am encloseing for you is safe, microsoft word. In this will you will see gave to; Col Robert Bolling of Petersburg, Benjamin Harrison of Brandon, Peter Epes, Inman Baker, St. George Tucker, and Dr. Issac Hall and Griffin Peachy, 2 acres of land. William & Mary College I think is the purpose in mind of this? You read the will and see what you think. If you will note John Randolph almost at the bottom of the page, was his nephew, Cpl Bland's sister, Frances Bland born 1752, the mother of John Randolph. Col Bland and his sister Frances Bland were the children of Theodorick Bland born 1719, and Francis Bolling. The Richard Bland I spoke of he and his wife Anne had a son born 1730, named Richard, he Married Mary Bolling, ggggranddaughter to Pocahontas, Mary b 1744 was the daughter of John Bolling Jr . The Poythress's are many and in this line there are a great amount of them. Elaine , I will enclose eone more attachment,( Thomas Bennett B 1570), was the grandfather to both Richard Bland and Theodorick, the reason why I have all of this and a lot more is this (Thomas was my Grandfather also.) I also have many Poythress individuals in my files. I'm not trying to be show be a show off, these are my people, some make crude remarks but being an ex-master parachutist for our uncle, I can take it. If you don't need this information, just delete . Richard Bennett b 1608, the son of Thomas is the cause of all these Blands and being here as his daughter Anne Bennett married Theodorick Bland Sr, b 1626 in england. Their son Richard Bland b 1665 and Frances Randolph were the parents of some famous children. I have them all.
