Biography

Charlotte was born in 1829 in Shelby County, Ohio, the daughter of Jephta V. Davis and Matilda Haff Loofboro. In 1844 at the age of 15, she married John D. Fitz Randolph in Shelby County, Ohio. They settled to farm in Jackson in Shelby County and had two children together before John died in 1865. Charlotte married two years later in 1867 to the widower William A. Jones. They remained to farm in Jackson, and had one more child together. Charlotte died in 1901 in Jackson, and her husband William followed her a week later.

Children with John:

1. George M., 1845-1931; m. Ruelma Babcock, 1870
2. Mary Saline, 1849-1929 ; m. Samuel D. Babcock, 1866
3. William Jackson, 1861-1926; m. Ellen Cleo Waltz, 1884

Children with William:

1. Joshua, 1868-

Charlotte reported having one more child, but who died young (or at least before 1900).

Research notes

Surname note

In this Fitz Randolph family, Fitz appears to have been used by all family members as part of their surname: the Oris H.F. Randolph genealogy (referenced below) assumes this to be the case when listing the children in both the family in which John is a child and the one in which he is the father. The current consensus is therefore to use the surname Fitz Randolph. (Need to confirm how Fitz Randolph was used in legal documents and when births were recorded documents.) Please don't hesitate to contact the profile manager if you think this decision should be reviewed!

Geography Note

Samuel lived his childhood in Harrison County which at the time was part of the State of Virginia. The county was in the part of Virginia that in 1863 became the State of West Virginia.
