Biography
Randolph was born on the Turkey Island Plantation along the James River in Henrico County, Virginia in 1681.[2] Most sources indicate that he married a woman named either "Judith Churchill" (of Middlesex County, Virginia) or "Judith Fleming" around 1705 or 1710; the couple had three children:[2][3]
- William Randolph (born 1712) married Maria Judith, the daughter of Mann Page,[2] and had four children, including their only son Thomas Mann Randolph.
- Judith Randolph (born ~1724) married her first cousin William Stith, President of the College of William and Mary, and had three children.[2][5] Stith was the son of her Captain John Stith and Mary Randolph, her aunt.[2]
- Mary Randolph (born ~1726) married James Keith, a descendant of the Earls Marischal of Scotland, and had eight children.[6][nb 1] Their daughter Mary Isham Keith was the mother of John Marshall, a United States Secretary of State and Chief Justice of the United States.[6]
The historian William Edward Railey reported that Randolph married Churchill in 1710, but she died in 1712 (possibly during the birth of his oldest son, William).[8] Railey notes that Randolph married his second wife, Fleming, that same year on October 16, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.[8][9]
Tuckahoe was reportedly built by Randolph sometime after his marriage to Churchill.[3] His estate was in the part of Henrico County that later became Goochland County.[10] Randolph and his brother William Randolph II were the two representatives from Henrico in the House of Burgesses for the 1720 to 1722 session.[10] He was the county lieutenant for Goochland in 1728.[10]
Randolph was a great-uncle of United States President Thomas Jefferson.
