GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY.
Colonel Theodoric Bland, a revolutionary hero, was born in Prince George county, Va., January 28, 1742, and died in New York City, June 1, 1790.
His preparatory training was received in England, but his medical preparation was secured in the University of Edin- burg. He began his practice of medicine in 1774. He was one of the number who petitioned the house of burgesses to. enact a law forbidding any one not properly licensed to prac- tice medicine within the province.
He continued to practice his profession until the breaking out of the Revolution. Joining the colonists he became cap- tain of the first troop of Virginia cavalry. After the enroll- ment of six companies he entered the service regularly in 1777 with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Subsequently he attained the rank of colonel, and rendered efficient service throughout the remainder of the war, enjoying the personal confidence and friendship of Washington.
Ile participated in the battle of Brandywine; and con- ducted to Charlottesville, Va., the prisoners captured at Sara- toga, October 17, 1777.
In civil life he was active. He served one term in the Virginia Senate, and from 1780 to 1783 was a member of the Continental Congress. He opposed the adoption of the pres- ont Federal Constitution, but was a member of the first Con- gress convened under its provisions, his term beginning March 30, 1789. See " The Bland Papers," published 1840-3.
