Hi, Lettie John Randolph,1742- 1775, and known as John Randolph of Matoax, is the son of Richard Randolph (1690-1748) of Curles and Jane Bolling. Jane Bolling is a direct descendant of Pocahontas. John Randolph, b. 1742, married Frances Bland. John Randolph and Frances Bland had three sons: Richard Randolph, 1770-1796, Theodorick Randolph, 1771-1792, and John Randolph, 1773-1833. (This would be John Randolph of Roanoke, who died unmarried and without issue.) Richard Randolph was the only son to have married. He married Judith Randolph, the daughter of Thomas Mann Randolph, 1741-1793, and Anne Cary of Ampthill. They were cousins. Richard Randolph and Judith Randolph had two sons, St. George and Tudor, who both died unmarried and without issue. Theodorick Randolph, the second son of John Randolph, 1742-1775, and Frances Bland, also died unmarried and without issue. Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker after the death of John Randolph in 1775. You have: "John R Randolph Ann Cary, Henrico, VA, 26 June 1742 VA. 28 October 1775" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Those are the dates of John Randolph, son of Richard Randolph and Jane Bolling. He did not marry Anne Cary. Thomas Mann Randolph married Anne Cary. (see above). "Then there is 1 Birth under Captain John: Randolph, Wood Leroy - Born: 11 February 1796 Father: Randolph , John Captain b: 16 NOV 1773 in Chesterfield Co., VA. - d. 4 FEB 1855 in Jackson Co., GA Mother: Hinton , Nancy Ann b. 15 DEC 1776 in Amelia Co., VA " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is another Randolph line, known as the line of Joseph Randolph of Spotsylvania Co. Va. They are not related by DNA to the Turkey Island, Va. Randolph line or the Prince William Va. line, in addition to the records that we have. Joseph Randolph of Spotsylvania had a son John Randolph, known as "Capt. Jack" Randolph, and he married Nancy Hinton. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Margaret Randolph was the daughter of John Randolph Jr.(died 1822, Baton Rouge, Louisiana) and Elizabeth Bland (died 1804, Muhlenberg Co. Ky.), of the Prince William Randolph line. She is the grand-daughter of John Randolph, d. 1789, Prince William County, Virginia, and Ann Osborne. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I found a John Robert Randolph b. Abt. 1750 to1758 in Prince William County, Virginia d. 22 DEC 1822 in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana born to John Randolph & Ann Osborne it shows a Margaret Randolph b. 20 OCT 1784 The mother of this Margaret is Elizabeth Bland. He too is called Captain." This is the correct information for Margaret Randolph who married James Nicholls!!!! The Randolph genealogy is very difficult and very easy to get confused; there are so many different lines, and there is a great duplication of names, even within the same family branch...plus so many of them kept marrying their cousins, etc. I belong to a private Randolph research site, which has helped me immensely in sorting them out. If you are interested in joining, please let me know and I will send you an invitation.
