The Randolph family moved from Virginia to Florida in 1829 and settled in Tallahassee, where they became active in its civic and social life. Thomas Eston Randolph and Jane Cary Randolph had eight children. Randolph was appointed U.S. Marshal for the Middle Florida district in 1831.
His son, Dr. James Randolph, served in the legislative delegation from Leon County in 1845; became a surgeon in the provisional army of the Confederacy; and was mayor of Tallahassee in 1876. In 1881, Dr. Randolph was appointed superintendent and physician in charge of the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee. With his father, he co-founded St. John's Episcopal Church. The Randolph daughters conducted the first girl's school in Tallahassee. [1]
James is buried at Saint John's Episcopal Church Cemetery in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.
