Reseña del editor

Richard Bland was born May 6.1719, the son of Richard Bland (1665- 1720), of Berkeley and Jordan s Point, and his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Hon. William Randolph I, of Turkey I sland. The first Richard Bland was the son of Hon. Theodorick Bland (1629-1669) of Westover, immigrant ancestor of the family in Virginia, and his wife A nne, daughter of Governor Richard Bennett of Virginia. Richard Bland, the author of the I nquiry, married first A nne, daughter of Col, Peter Poythress, by whom he had twelve children. His second wife was Elizabeth Harrison. By this marriage there was no issue. (1) According to some accounts his second wife is said to have been Eliza beth Boiling, daughter of Major John Boiling and Elizabeth Blair, the daughter of Dr. Archibald Blair. (2) He was educated at William and Mary College, and at the University of Edinburgh, but of his life at either institution we have little information. He first took his seat from Prince George in the House of Burgesses, in 1742, and from that time until 1775, he served continuously. He was a member of the conventions of March 1775, July 1775, Dec. 1775, and May 1776, the bodies that performed legislative functions until the establishment of the State constitution. He was also a member of the first House of Delegates, serving until his death, which occurred in Williamsburg Oct. 26, 1776. He was buried at Jordan s Point, Nov. 7, 1776. He was succeeded in the House by Edmund Ruffin. In the February session of the Assembly of 1759 an act was passed (4) appointing Edward Montague agent for Virginia in Eng land, and a committee, of which Bland was one, was selected for carrying on a correspondence with Montague. (5) In the October session of 1764, a committee was appointed by the House of Burgesses to draw up an address to the King, a memorial to the Lords, and a Remonstrance to the House of Commons
