Colonel William T Randolph married abt 1735 Maria Judith Page, the daughter of the Hon. Mann Page and Judith Armistead Wormeley, and had 3 daughters and an only son, Thomas Mann Randolph.
William Randolph and Maria Judith Page started their family at Tuckahoe in the 1730's. By 1745 their four children were orphaned at Tuckahoe after the untimely death of both their parents; their mother died less than a year before William was left a widower with four children and a large estate to manage.
Before he died, William drew out his will to be sure that his children would be cared for and educated if he should die. In that will, he named his good friend, Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph Jefferson (cousin to William)
guardians of his children.
In 1745, after Williams death, Peter and Jane Jefferson honored their friend's wishes and moved to Tuckahoe with their children, including their young toddler,Thomas.
Thomas Jefferson spent his youth at Tuckahoe and received his first education in the small one-room schoolhouse that still stands today. From 1745 until 1752, the Jefferson's cared for Tuckahoe and the Randolph children.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Maria by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Maria:
