Notes
According to Page and Glenn, Richard Randolph was born on or "about May, 1686," but their sources are highly suspect. The best available records pinpoint his birth about 1691.[1][2] According to Tyler, Randolph died in 1749.[3] Robert Isham Randolph indicates that he lived from 1690–1742,[4] however, this date of death contradicts the information provided by Tyler showing Randolph serving in the House of Burgesses after 1742.
Richard Randolph had at least two other children who died young; John Randolph was his sixth child.[2]
