The 1st wife of James Bland is Jemima Alderman Bland.
Several platforms (Find a Grave and a not very filled out Wikitree profile) list her as this profile Jemimia A. Bland - a daughter of David C. Alderman and Jemima Alderman.
The profile connected to James Bland above is this profile Jemimia A. Bland and lists her parents as the brother of David above Daniel Alderman and Sarah Alderman.
Since both David and Daniel are Revolutionary Soldiers, I wonder if Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus can shed light on this as to who is the father of Jemima or did both have a daughter by that name? If any of the many profile managers get notification of this, maybe they have information to assist. I am looking for everything I can. Thanks.
Hello Susanne Floyd - on and off the grid, The answer is in the DAR database. Daniel Alderman Jr Ancestor #: A001055 & wife Sarah Newton are the parents of Jemima who married James Bland. Here is a link: https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_descendants/?ac...
Remind me to show you how to look this up.
This link goes to the Patriot's profile.

Scroll to the lower part of the page until you see Jemima's name under the heading "Child". Then click on the purple D and you will see the lineage.
There is also a way to search for any descendant. You can also search for a husband / wife using surnames only. It is very useful and just takes a little bit of practice.
There is a way to send a message to whomever is putting the information on findagrave.com. Whether they will respond maybe another question. I am not too familiar with that.
