I am pretty sure this merge was in error. Birthdates were way too far apart, and the merge took place way too fast back in 2016.

30 Nov 2016 16:44: Kim Myers edited the data for John Randolph Sr. (1742-1775). (Merged Randolph-721 into Randolph-627: Clear duplicate.) 19:08: Robin Lee proposed a merge of John Randolph (1742-1789) and John Randolph Sr. (1742-1775). [Thank Robin for this]

This file is CONFLATED. It has two different Randolph DNA mixed together.

This is the person to which the file belongs to

Randolph-627 John Randolph _of Mattoax__haplo group R M-269 Randolphs of Henrico County, Virginia 1742–1775 BIRTH 26 JUN 1742 • Curles, Henrico County, Colony of Virginia DEATH 28 OCT 1775 • Ronoake City, Colony of Virginia His parents are Richard Randolph of Curles and Jane Kennon Bolling

This John Randolph is NOT married to Margaret Smalley! She needs to be uncoupled This is Margaret Smalley's husband.

Their son is Randolph-1830 which also needs to be uncoupled.

Ancestry trees have a "Thomas Fitz Randolph" (1775-1801) as a son, but there exists no evidence of his existence. He is not listed in the will, the unborn child is already identified
posted by E. Logan
"He" exists under his name and his DNA. The Ancestry trees are wrong.

I refer ALL Fitz Randolph questions to Thomas Randolph on here; a long-time researcher of Fitz Randolph and about 34,000 contributions on Wiki. He can also explain this DNA haplo group.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Randolph-1145

"Son of Richard Fitz Randolph 1705-1754 & Elizabeth Corlies 1716-1743. Rahway and Plainfield Monthly Meetings, born under last name Fitz Randolph, and later dropped the Fitz, carried name as Randolph. His brother Edward followed the same practice, and children using last name as Randolph. Some of his grandchildren (of son Stephen) reverted back to using sir name as Fitz Randolph."

See Find A Grave https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Randolph-1145

Maps of the period are a great help too.

John and Cherie are second cousins 8 times removed

John Randolph Sr. (1742-1775) and Cherie (Randolph) Freeman are both descendants of Katherine (Banks) Isham (abt.1627-bef.1686).

I don't know if I have the rights to edit this profile, but John Randolph, Sr. 1743-1775 was my first cousin 8x removed. In my research of him, I found the following information. (I actually grew up about 5 miles [approx. 2.5 miles overland from the location of the present day "Randolph Farm.") Mattoax was the name of the plantation owned by John Randolph and the land is located in present day Chesterfield County, west of Ettrick Virginia. His grave site is located on the property with is called Randolph Farm today a part of the Agricultural Department of Virginia State University, a Historically Black University approximately two miles to the East south east. Here is the findagrave info link https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/58261202/john-randolph and I am attaching a link to an old news article about plantations in the southern Chesterfield area which includes information about Mattoax and John Randolph and family. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/6129630/plantations-around-petersburg/

Randolph-721 and Randolph-627 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, similar birth
posted by Robin Lee
This person was not a part of the Randolph family shown....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_family_of_Virginia
posted by Robin Lee
The source added has nothing to do with this person in this profile. The son of Richard Randolph was born in 1742 and has a well documented history on Randolph-627 and married Frances Bland.
posted by Robin Lee
unlinked John Randolph Pate (Pate-594) as son because his birth date doesn't fit this family and he doesn't feature in the biography of John Randolph
posted by Valerie Willis
Randolph-721 and Randolph-627 do not represent the same person because: Birth and death date far apart. More likely brothers.
posted by Schalk Wilhelm Pienaar
LNAB could not have been PATE as his father was a RANDOLPH.

Thanks!

Randolph-721 and Randolph-627 appear to represent the same person because: Parents, siblings same.

Birth and Death dates need to be verified.

posted by Jeanne (Lunn) Aloia
Pate-676 and Randolph-627 appear to represent the same person because: LNAB could not have been PATE as his Father's LNAB was RANDOLPH.

Parents, siblings, dates same.

Please correct LNAB and merge. Thanks!
