{{u}Theroadislong}} Do you agree or don't you that the Ancestry and Family ties portion of this article is Family History and some of it is original research? If you agree then should it be scrubbed?Oldperson (talk) 22:03, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

more work needed

I revised this extensively, although I had planned on starting a different article today. I haven't checked genealogy reference sources, but trimmed some about his birth family, and moved the rest of the genealogy near the end. I don't know whether a bigger pet peeve is genealogies without death dates or those without birth dates, but presume many of his children did not reach adulthood. However, listing those who married into the aristocracy or held office themselves is important, IMHO. For what it's worth, four men named Richard Bland served in the Virginia General Assembly in the colonial and early state era, the last in 1790. Also, R.T. Bland served in 1891-1892.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:48, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
