Bland was the son of John Bland and Susanna de Deblere Bland. He was born probably in London, where he was christened on January 6, 1630, in the parish of Saint Antholin, Budge Row. His father died in April 1632, after which his elder brother John Bland assumed direction of the family’s extensive commercial interests.
