From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[1]

Thomas Randolph (~1683 – 1729),[1] also known as Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe, was the builder of Tuckahoe, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and the second child of William Randolph and Mary Isham.

Randolph was born on the Turkey Island Plantation along the James River in Henrico County, Virginia in 1681.[2] Most sources indicate that he married a woman named either "Judith Churchill" (of Middlesex County, Virginia) or "Judith Fleming" around 1705 or 1710; the couple had three children:[2][3]

William Randolph (born 1712) married Maria Judith, the daughter of Mann Page,[2] and had four children, including their only son Thomas Mann Randolph.

Judith Randolph (born ~1724) married her first cousin William Stith, President of the College of William and Mary, and had three children.[2][5] Stith was the son of her Captain John Stith and Mary Randolph, her aunt.[2]

Mary Randolph (born ~1726) married James Keith, a descendant of the Earls Marischal of Scotland, and had eight children.[6][nb 1] Their daughter Mary Isham Keith was the mother of John Marshall, a United States Secretary of State and Chief Justice of the United States.[6]

The historian William Edward Railey reported that Randolph married Churchill in 1710, but she died in 1712 (possibly during the birth of his oldest son, William). [8] Railey notes that Randolph married his second wife, Fleming, that same year on October 16, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.[8][9]

Tuckahoe was reportedly built by Randolph sometime after his marriage to Churchill.[3] His estate was in the part of Henrico County that later became Goochland County.[10] Randolph and his brother William Randolph II were the two representatives from Henrico in the House of Burgesses for the 1720 to 1722 session.[10] He was the county lieutenant for Goochland in 1728.[10]

Randolph was a great-uncle of United States President Thomas Jefferson.[2]

Great-grandfather of John Marshall.

Great-great-grandfather of Ann Cary (Nancy) Randolph, who married Governor Morris, and her brother Thomas Mann Randolph II, who married Thomas Jefferson's daughter, Martha. Ancestor of Confederate Secretary of War George W. Randolph.

Jefferson Randolph Anderson lays out the 'controversy' over the identity of Thomas Randolph's wife -- was it Judith Fleming? was it Judith Churchill? -- in his VMHB article (Jefferson Randolph Anderson, “Tuckahoe and the Tuckahoe Randolphs,” Virginia Magazine of History and Biography 45, No.1 (1937)). In that article, he reports that "the Churchill tradition seems to have prevailed among those descended from Thomas of Tuckahoe through his son, William, while the Fleming tradition seems to have prevailed among those descended from him through his daughter Mary, who married Rev. James Keith, and most of whom live in Kentucky" (p.60). Anderson quotes from several legal documents with entries referring to Judith Fleming, one of which (The old Parish register of St. Peters Parish in New Kent County) has "the following entry in its record of marriages: 'Thomas Randolph of Henrico and Judith Fleming was (sic) married octo ye 16th, 1712.' " That notation, plus others that "constitute a definite and official record that Judith Fleming was the widow of Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe and after his death had married Nicholas Davis" (p.63), led to an 1897 letter from the champion of the Churchill tradition to Frances Dickens in confirmation of the Fleming name. "This letter, however, was received by Miss Dickins over five years after she had placed the inscription in the Tuckahoe graveyard showing the wife of Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe as Judith Churchill of Middlesex" (p.61).

Further, Anderson refutes "One of the authorities most generally quoted for the Judith Churchill tradition (page 253 in "the book Virginia Genealogies published in 1891 by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden") over a confusion of persons in Hayden's account (p.64).

Suggest he married TWO Judiths; the first being Judith Churchill who is presumed to have died from complications of childbirth.

* To avoid confusion with her grandmother, Mary Randolph's name (above) should be corrected to Mary Isham Randolph (it's been corrected at Wikipedia).
Please see wiki/Evans-7559 This John Evans, and Thomas Evans were neighbors living adjacent to Thomas Randolph, Robert Adams, and Mr. Womack in the years of 1730-1737 as documented in land deeds of Goochland Co VA on the Tuckahoe Creek.
