He wrote the book "The Randolphs of Virginia" {After the American Revolution} which was published in March of 1990. In his book on page 51 he shows that Jessie Nathaniel Randolph a decendent of Henrt Randolph I was married to Susannah Halbert a decendent of William Randolph of Turkey Island. This is shown by the numbers that each of the persons have designating their family line for 11 generations before Susannah. His book shows the following. 313213 RANDOLPH, Jesse Nathaniel. b. 1792:d.1858. m. May 19,1814 to Susannah Halbert, 161164891342. Issue: 1) Wlmina FrANCES m(iriam?) B(illingsley?), 2)Cyrus Halbert, 3)jane Sussanah, 4)Wm B., 5)Willie Blount, 6)Elixabeth Ann, 7)Coleman L. Sr., 8)Joel Thacker, & 9)Jesse Nathaniel Jr. (There are confliction opinions as to Jesse Nathaniel Randolph's children. Davis gives one list, naming 4, indicating a daughter and says there was a 6th child. on Au.9,1956 I(G.L.R.) talked in McMinnville, Tennessee to a Mrs. Potter, a great grandaughter of Jesse's, who gave another list. Mrs Chas M. (Joade) Cole, also a decendent of Jess's reports (N.16,1963) that she has data from a Mrs. Jessie Redd-- according to Mrs. Redd, from a family Bible which once belonged to Mrs. Redd's ancestress, Elizabeth Ann Randolph, daughter of Jesse). It seems that Susannah Halbert was a Randolph Decendent, through Wm of T.I., 1611164. It also seems that Susannah is decended from Pocahontas. Wyndham Roberts says Jane Bolling and Richard Randolph, Sr., 1611648had nine children, five sons and four daughters. Roberts identifies three sons and three daughters. The other two sons have since been identified. Recently, it was called to our attention that Boddie's "South Side Virginia Families, Ix, 194, identifies the third daughter as Frances who m. John Jones. Their daughter, Elizabeth Frances married Joel Halbert, and susannah is decended from this marriage. Those decendents of Susannah and Jesse Nathaniel Randolph who have insisted they are descended from Pochantas, thus seem to be correct. The full tabulation of other descendants of these Halbert's is in Section II of this book, i.e., The descendants of Wm of T, I, The foot notes shown after each named child of Jesse show who gave him the information to list each child and as he kept records of every peice of information he used to write his book, and now that he has stoped his work due to advancing age and ill health, age 86 and a crippling stroke, he has turned all of his information over to me to continue his work of 50 years I have all of the proof of his use of this information I may be reached at h.c.randolph@pepperlink.net Horace
