One biographer has said: "The emigration of [the Nathaniel Fitz Randolph] family [from Plymouth Colony] to the Province of East Jersey (now New Jersey) was prompted by the severe enactments of the court of the old colonies, prohibiting the free exercise of individual consciences, compelling every person to sustain by tax the established Church worship, and imposing banishment upon any who opposed infant baptism. [15]

Nathaniel Fitz Randolph was the 3rd husband of Jane Curtis. She married a fourth time after Nathaniel died.

? ? 16?? -- Nathaniel and Jane Curtis Fitz Randolph had one son, Samuel Fitzrandolph[citation needed]

U.S. President Barack Obama is a direct descendant of Nathaniel and Mary Holley through their son Samuel.[21][22]

Not a match with Fitz Randolph-55, who was a sibling with the same name that died young. I mistakenly proposed a merge and then found my error, so I set it as a rejected match.
