Biography

Mary was born before October 1686 . She was the daughter of William Randolph and Mary Isham. Her date of birth is established by the will of her grandmother, Katherine (Banks) Isham (abt.1627-bef.1686), which was written on 10 October 1686 and makes a bequest of five pounds sterling to Mary Randolph.^[1] The will is quoted in full in her grandmother's profile on WikiTree.

Research Notes

As of 4 August 2022 there is a conflict between the date of Mary's marriage in this profile (1712) and the birthdate of her son William Stith (1707-1755) (1707). While William was a student at Queen's College in Oxford, he appointed William Randolph, Esq., as his attorney to possess and sell ("as soon as the Same can be done, for such Consideration as he shall think fit.") all of his "lands, tenements, hereditaments, Negroes or other Slaves, Goods and Chattels. This power of attorney was dated 3 September 1728 and presented at the Court held at Varina for Henrico County on the first Monday in February 1728/9.^[4] For the power of attorney to be valid, it seems that William must have reached his majority, suggesting a date for his parents marriage in 1706 or earlier.
