Capt. Randolph Brandt, Deputy Survey for Charles Co, transported 6 unnamed persons before Sept 1680 (Settlers of Charles Co, Coldham.) See this reference for further information on property owned. 10/12/1685: Deed of gift from Randolph Brandt and his wife Mary to their son-in-law, Joseph Bullett and their daughter, Elizabeth "Thomas Town", 200 ac. (Early Settlers of Charles Co., Bates). Elizabeth Brandt Bullett left a will in Charles Co. dated 1/12/1693-3/14/1693-4. 8/29/1700: Letter from Randolph Brandt, eldest son of Capt. Randolph Brant in which he stated he was leaving for the island of Barbadoes to receive the estate left him by his brother Marcus Brandt. He also mentioned that his uncle, Jacob Brandt died leaving a widow and a grown daughter whom he was assisting. (Early Settlers of Charles Co., Bates). Yes, I know there's a problem with the date-the letter really must be 8/29/1705 as Marcus Brandt's will was dated 7/23/1705. Randolph Jr. left a will dated 12/12/1711-5/26/1716. Capt. Randolph Brandt had a brother named Jacob Brandt, b. bef 1650 and died bef 1699. Jacob had a son named Charles Brandt. The admin. accts. of Capt. Randolph Brandt in 1699 include a legacy to the son Charles and stated that Jacob was deceased by that time.
