Seeking information on Henrietta who married William GARLAND. Henrietta was born around 1690, probably in VA and she may have been the widow of a RANDOLPH male. Henrietta and William had a daughter, Henrietta, who married James HARDWICK.

Bill, I read your posting and thought I should respond with the information you requested. I am also a descendant of William Randolph and Mary Isham Randolph. I will also post this on the Randolph-L for all to see. My wife and I visited Turkey Island a few years ago and took some pictures. I have made this into a list of items: 1. Turkey Island was never a true island, it was an Oxbow. This is where a river makes a bend that almost comes back on itself. In the winter, when the James River was high, the narrow neck became a swamp and was hard to cross. 2. Turkey Island has been renamed Presquile National Wildlife Refuge, SE of Richmond, VA, on the James River. Access is restricted, you must make reservations, and be escorted by a park ranger. The phone number I have is dated, but should still be good, (804) 733-8042. 3. In resent years, the Corp. of Army Engineers have cut a navigational channel through the narrow neck making Presquile National Wildlife Refuge a true island. 4. The cemetery you are inquiring about is not what you think. Based on the memory of a local farmer, it was reconstructed by the park department from random fallen monuments (5) that were found scattered about the property. 5. Non of the headstones are of William Randolph or Mary Isham Randolph (of Hermuda Hundred), even though they are buried some place on the island. 6. The names on the five headstones are: Sallie O. May, Harriet Watkins, Mary Page, M.P., and the 5th one is not marked. 7. The general location of the reconstructed cemetery is: as you walk up the road, from the ferry, the cemetery would be located behind and to the right of where the main Randolph house used to be, and on the edge of the berm or drop off. 8. FYI there is another cemetery located on the Hermuda Hundred other side of the channel, half way from the access gate and the ferry landing to Turkey Island, on the left side of the dirt road, about 500 feet out in an open field, are 6 additional graves. 9. The 6 headstones are made of white marble, they are lying flat on the ground. Most are broken and are hard to see from the road. 10. The names on the five headstones are: John Worsham (1774-1795), Edward Worsham (1710-1775), Michal Worsham (1771-1795), Margaret _____, ___rah Worsham Baugh or Paugh (1775-1795), and Edward Worsham (176_-1792). I hope this helps. You can find more Randolph information on our web site (http://www.best.com/~parsons). Mr. Gary A.

I have gone back to 1586 in the pedegree of the Churchill family and found no connection with any Randolph by marriage. It seems that Lord Randolph Churchill's parents, John Winston Spencer-Churchill and Frances Anne Emily Vane, must have liked the name for their son.

I have no proof of a connection between the Churchill and the Randolph families. You do know, I am sure that Winston had a son, Randolph. This would seem to indicate that there might be some connection. I wish I could answer your question. If you get any more information, please let us know. Good luck. Eleanor

Does anyone know if there is a connection through the trees that ties the Churchill and Randolph families together? I visited England at age 15 and remember something about the churchill family graves not far from Stratford-on-Avon. I throught my father (now deceased) said there was a connection between the two families. But I honestly did not know if he was kidding. It is an idea that just recently came back up in family discussions. I do not have reason to believe it , but would love for someone who really know to give me a firm answer, (though I think I already know what that would be). I guess anything is possible, as he was telling me the truth about the family Bible being a rare book. It turned out to be Wycliff's Expository Notes! Which I have been informed is a rare book. Just hoping to satisify a family discussion. Thanks in advance for the help. I can be reached directly at kjloc@1st.net Thanks, Kim (Fitz) Randolph Loccisano

Horace Thank you so much for letting me know about the contents of the book concerning the Randolphs after the Revolutionary War. Since it does not have information about the Giles Randolph branch in eastern North Carolina, I do not believe I will buy it at this time. However if someone ever organizes the Giles material, I would be interested. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

I am interested in finding out the location of Turkey Island Cemetery and the name of the people that own the property. I will be visiting Virginia later this year and wanted to visit the cemetery if possible. My ancestors are William Randolph and Mary Isham Randolph. Thank you for your help. Bill Scroggin Chesterfield, Missouri

Horace Thank you so much for your reply. Someone told me that you might be able to help me obtain a copy of your uncle's book. Can you tell me what kind of information it contains? I would especially like to know more about the Giles Randolph branch. Also, how much does a copy cost? Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Richard Thank you for your reply regarding Charles Randolph. I'll keep looking. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Jo Nell The only branch of the Randolph family this book covers is that of Giles Randolph who came from Norfolk to Northampton Co. in N.C and then to Pitt Co.,N.C. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Marian Several years ago , after seeing Mr. Randolph's book listed at FHC, I called him to inquire about getting it and told him I was interested in the Randolphs who came from Va. and settled in eastern N.C. He said he had not done that line but had heard there was a Giles Randolph line to which I think I might be related. Thank you so much for telling me about his nephew. I might try again , as he might have done more. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Would you have anything on a Polly Randolph that married William Dye their daughter Katherine b. 1788 married 1812 in Pulaski Co., Ky. Moses Black. Thank You.

Hello Everyone I am looking for Betty June Randolph Pack. not sure if she is on this list or not. Since my computer crashed and lost alot of my info, having to basically start over from scratch. Would love to hear from her or anyone is connected to the Randolph Line from Giles Co. TN > Limestone Co. AL. > Lawrence Co. AL. Many Thanks Robbie

Is Levis Allen Churchill still living? He wrote a book about the Randolphs in Pitt County, N.C. I'd like to get an answer or two from him that was not in his book. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Randy, when you mentioned that your ancester was an officer at Valley Forge, I thought I might find out something about Charles Randolph from the same book or some other source you used If you can remember, I'd be most grateful. Harriette lalyco@mindspring.com

Harriette, He was my gggg-grandfather. He hailed from Loudonderry, Ireland. He married a Miss Hayes of the Rutherford B. Hayes line. They had one son that I know of James Hayes Stevenson of Fayette Co. Ky. Hope this is of some help. Please let me know if you find any connection or any information on him. I haven't been able to find anything in the last few years of looking.
