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.

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).
