I am researching the Bland family from Martin County. They are my son-in-law's family. Rueben would be his great great grandfather. I have just started going to the courthouse in Williamston, in order to look up birth and death certificates. I do have a list of the names of most of the children that someone else had posted awhile back and I am trying to verify them. Have you found anything since this posting? you can e-mail me if you want to. jcmg@lycos.com
