Good news for those of you researching the ancestry of Silas Bland. Charles L. Bland the author of the 609 page book on the Bland Family titled: "A Vision of Unity" has just recently sent out his Bland Family Newsletter called "Among Cousins" In this newsletter he addresses the Blanns and Blands of Dallas County, Alabama. There were apparently 4 or 5 siblings of the Bland Family who consistently spelled their name as Blann went to Alabama and one of them was Silas Blann(1792-1858).
