Hi Jerry, The Fitz Randolphs and the VA Randolphs were two separate lines, but may be connected back in England some how. Some one with more research in that area could tell us. I do know that my research has shown that the Fitz Randolphs of NJ did migrate to the VA, WV, NC and GA. President Woodrow Wilson's wife was from GA. She's a descendent of the NJ Randolphs through the female line. My mother always said that she was a cousin but I haven't been able to find any connection.
