Pay roll of 3d Regt for March on Garison 1780 Note: Third Regiment in Garrison at the Siege of Charleston in the year 1780 Comments: I believe that Bland and Dionysius Blakeley are brothers as they are next to each other on the 1790 Orangeburg District, SC census. Dionysius has a son that is probably my John Blakeley, Sr. Bland appears both in SC and GA in the limited records I have found on him and I lose him in 1806. Their location in 1790 was near Lexington and Dionysius's probate in 1815/1816 is in Edgefield County. Gary Blakely
