Debbie I included Thomas Jefferson in my database to partially answer this kind of question. He is only sketchily entered. This question has come up several times since I have been on the list, so I tried to see what Batte would say. See http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=poythressp1 Go to the J's in the index, then Thomas born 1743. Thomas Jefferson's sister married John Bolling [(B-2) AAB], which means he, a descendant of Jane Poythress, is 5 generations removed from Francis Poythress. B-2 A is equivalent to P-1 AAA. But to answer the question I think you are asking, the Randolphs who married Poythresses on the Batte Chart A are descendants of Henry Randolph (R-2), the Uncle of William of Turkey Island (R-1). Their lines meet in England in Richard Randolph of England, born 1620/21 married to Elizabeth Ryland. So they are cousins, but somewhat removed. But many of the descendants of Francis married into both lines, Henry Randolph and William of Turkey Island. Since my database emphasis is Francis Poythress, if you go to Richard Randolph of England, and select the "descendancy" or "register" most of the people you see after the first few generations are descendants of Francis Poythress. Hope that helps. Diana
