At the time of his death in 1786, Richard Randolph Jr owned at least three Virginia plantations: Curles Neck in Henrico County, Sandy Ford in Prince Edward and Cumberland counties, and Clover Forest in Cumberland County. These plantations were run with enslaved labor and the names of 139 enslaved people were documented in Richard's will and estate records. For more information please see:

Also have proposed merges for all 3 wives listed. He only had 1 wife Ann daughter of David and Susannah Everard Meade. They appear to be all the same people. Have seen her listed as Nancy as well, but she is listed as Ann in both her father and Husband's will.
I have removed several children that were listed under Richard and Ann(Nancy) Meade Randolph. It is clearly documented in his will the 8 children he had and who his wife was. I have noted the removed children's profiles to provide documentation in order to add them back. I couldn't find documentation on any of them. The children attached now should be the only children.
