Catherine Bland (Key) - I don't think that Catherine Key is mother to everyone in her list.

Hello Suzanne,
Catherine is my 7thGGM. I can see where it does look like Catherine was not married when her first two children were born. I don't have an answer for you, but I did do a lot of backward research and did not see an answer.
As it turns out, you and I are related:
Susanne Floyd Gunter is Dale Foresythe’s 8th cousin once removed.

Nice to meet you, Dale Foresythe A920726! I wish I had more information, but I am about to make a cut soon and a new profile of "Unknown wife William Bland, Sr."

I will give it a few more days and then attach the article info and make the changes. I just didn't want to do so until a formal discussion was launched. I think we will get it straight. I have so many of these problematic discussion threads launched until it is hard to keep up. Thanks for responding, Dale.

On Sunday, I will make the cut of Catherine Key as mother to James and Robert Bland and replace her with "Unknown Wife of William Bland" unless anyone has any more evidence.

Dale Foresythe A920726 is your fourth cousin once removed. (You did notice the “Howton” in that path, right?)

William Bland, Sr. is your fourth great aunt's second great grandfather.

William Bland, Sr.

I don’t yet have a wife opinion, I’ll take a look.

Margaret Harrison is given as a possible name for first wife.

Sounds feasible, Erica Howton and yes, I noticed the "Howton" in the connection line. I'd appreciate a look.

William is my 6th ggf through John. My great aunt's GEDmatch is: LX7605755 - she's a 4th ggd. :)

This site with Bland genealogy lists William as this Robert's hypothetical father;

Debbie Gambrell, I checked out the Blands and some had been victims of bad merges. Thanks for cleaning up Robert I. I cleaned up Jame who had his parents and his grandparents as parents. I wish people would read the notes before merging.

I'm SO glad others have joined in working on this. It can definitely benefit from more than just my eyes and research on it since I'm not as familiar with my son's paternal lines. I appreciate the collaboration!
