update - merge completed

Randolph-4133 and Randolph-705 appear to represent the same person because: I've just proposed merges for the duplicate profiles attached as husband and daughter - please merge these duplicates also. Thanks!

She is most likely the daughter of William Randolph and Mary Isham, which would make her Richard's sister. There are no known sources for this theory, but Wyndham Robertson, in his book "The Descendants of William Randolph of Turkey Island", suggests this as a possibility. The dates seem to fit.

The Descendants of William and Mary Isham are well established; she is not recognized.

You must use a map of the time period. If she was born in New Kent County, Virginia; why? Did her mother go visit someone and gave birth while she was there? New Kent County was broken off from York County, Virginia.

William Randolph and Mary Isham are associated with Henrico County, Virginia. William's Uncle Herny Randolph are usually associated with Chesterfield County, Virginia. Granted the original Henrico Shire is now ten counties and three Independant Cities.

To the NE is the original Charles River Shire which would have included New Kent and York. Without out a map, "we" tend to think of counties being the same size as the one we live within.

Best to search and exhaust resources closet to home before moving hundreds and hundreds of miles away.

Oh wow this is a crazy one almost makes me believe it's not real.

I tend to agree with the probability of her being the daughter of Richard and Jane Bolling Randolph not true. Bodie's Distinguished Families of the South Vol. IX p. 194 is a Unsourced, but often used link to her being their child. Several people have been on the hunt to prove or disprove this. This link is someone who has done a great deal of research and found that she probably isn't their child. http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/halbert/210/

Both descendants of John Jones and Joel Halbert for years have tried to link her. They have changed her birth date over and over again through the years trying to make her fit, but no one has provided her birth records to say what is correct. I have seen Birth dates from 1691-1727. None sourced. I will continue to look.

Yes! Jane Bolling -Randolph had seven children. Six daughters and one son.

I put the dates back to 1691, and removed the "impossible parents". Hopefully someone will spend some time finding sources for the data.

I like this, my new term. "impossible parents".

I drifted here because I am currently working a Frances Randle born 1705 with similar issues.

While many sources indicate this person as the eldest child, the Randolphs of Virginia, do not recognize this person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randolph_family_of_Virginia

The biggest resource for the Randolphs of William Randolph and Mary Isham is SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

RESEARCH CENTER at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

But surprisingly, you can go to your local library and find something. I have even found books in Bellegham, Washington by Canadian border.

But none of this helps with Frances Randolph

Randolph-804 and Randolph-705 appear to represent the same person because: all sources indicate one daughter named Frances and that she is the eldest of the children, which would make her birth around 1725

Randolph-1133 and Randolph-705 appear to represent the same person because: same birth and husband
