    1. Nancy Randolph
    2. Hello, On Nov. 14 there was someone who was inquiring into the parentage of NANCY RANDOLPH who married JAMES RANSOM. I too went to the site of the Descendants of Peter Ransome. It is very confusing on who her parents were. She could not have been born in 1790 because her first child was born abt 1808. Here is what I have: CAPT. JOSEPH FITZ RANDOLPH s/o JOSEPH (JOSEPH, JOSEPH, EDWARD the immigrant) and REBEKAH (REBECCA) DRAKE. Capt Joseph m FILIA TURMAN 1789. They had 5 children: IDA, JACOB, PHINAS, NANCY b 1790, PEYTON SKIPWORTH b 1792 Petersburg, VA d 19 Jan 1867. This came off Ancestry World Tree. I think that two Joseph's were mixed up. As Capt. Joseph was b 16 Jan 1750 Piscataway, Middlesex Co., NJ d 11 Nov 1801 Sampton, NJ. He is also credited with marriages to ELIZABETH GOODFELLOW MUNDY, and MARY LAING. I also have a JOSEPH FITZ RANDOLPH b 1750 VA d 1810 m (1)---------HIGHTOWER, (2) NANCY TURMAN SOL VA From the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, also THE CENTENNIAL EDITION 1994 OF THE DAR page 2403 There were Fitz Randolphs who migrated from NJ to Va and then onto GA. JOSEPH (JOSEPH, JOSEPH, EDWARD) FITZ RANDOLPH B 24 Mar 1722 Piscataway NJ d 24 Mar 1782 Piscataway, NJ m ESTHER BRODERICK/BRADISH abt 1740/42. They had SAMUEL E.b 24 Apr 1741, Rev. JACOB b 1756, Deacon DANIEL b 26 Jun 1760, Dr. ROBERT b 24 Aug 1762, SOPHIA , JOHN. This was from THIS OLD MONMOUTH OF OURS by Willims. Hornor pages 287-288. Ancestry World Tree had more children but not sure if they are correct. Also have JOSEPH RAN having children Nancy m a Mr. Ransom and a john b 16 NOv 1775 chesterfield Co. VA d 4 Feb 1855 Jackson Co. GA. I have now probably added more confusion to this question of who Nancy's parents were. All of this I collected a few years ago when I was working on my Randolph line to which I still haven't found the answers. Pat Wainwright of NYS
