About Elizabeth Randolph
Elizabeth Ryland was born Dec. 26, 1625 in Gloucestershire, England, and died in Ireland. She was the daughter of John Richard Rilande and his wife Elizabeth Harward. She married Richard Randolph on Feb. 14, 1643 at St. Margaret Pattens Church, London, England. They settled in Moreton Morrell Parish, Warwickshire. There were eight children born while living in this parish. They moved to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1650's or 1660's , remaining there until their deaths.
Richard Randolph was originally from Houghton Parva, a small village east of Northampton, where his father was a "steward and servant" to Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche (1556–1625), having previously served in that same capacity to Sir George Goring, a landowner in his native Sussex.
Elizabeth's background has been pieced together from fragments. The one item mentioned over and over is that she was the sister of Archdeacon Ryland, who would have been well known during her lifetime. The Archdeacon turns out to be John Riland, born August 8, 1619 in Quinton, Gloucestershire, England. Quinton is actually two linked villages with a single parish church, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon. Archdeacon John Riland was the son of John Richard Rilande (christened in 1597 in Quinton) and wife Elizabeth Harward. Richard Rilande and Elizabeth Harward were married in 1611 in Bidford-on-Avon, Gloucestershire. See http://merrell.net/desrichardrandolph.pdf for additional information on the Rilande/Riland/Ryland name, and the village of Quinton.
Richard and Elizabeth moved to Dublin, Ireland in the 1660's and both died there.

My 9th great grandfather. Reference: Wikipedia. (I have seen his date of birth both as 10/24/1658 and 11/7/1650. I tend to lean toward 1650, which is the date referenced by Wikipedia.) William Randolph was a colonist and land owner who played an important role in the history and government of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He moved to Virginia sometime between 1669 and 1673, and married Mary Isham a few years later. His descendants included several prominent political figures, including Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall. Genealogists have taken an interest in him for his progeny's many marital alliances, referring to him and Mary Isham as "the Adam and Eve of Virginia". William Randolph was born in Morton Morrell, Warwickshire, England, to Richard Randolph (1620-1671) and Elizabeth Ryland (1625-1699). Like several other immigrants from the English gentry, he was a second son. William was educated at home, concentrating his studies on Greek, Latin, and law. He was also the half-nephew of English poet Thomas Randolph. His uncle, Henry Randolph, emigrated to North America in 1642 and rose to the position of Clerk of the Colony. Henry paid a visit to England in 1668 and may have encouraged his nephew to emigrate. Henry died a few years after William arrived in Virginia. After his arrival in Virginia, Randolph began working as an "undertaker" (building contractor), before turning to tobacco farming. Even after he had acquired property, a tax roll refers to him as "William Randolph, Merchant". At some point he owned a ship which traveled between Bristol, England and his dock at Turkey Island. By 1674 he had amassed enough wealth to buy 591 acres (2.39 km2) of land on Swift Creek, south of the James River in Henrico County. In 1676, the colonist Nathaniel Bacon rebelled unsuccessfully against the colonial government, and his estate, Curles, was forfeited. Randolph made an assessment of the estate for Governor Berkeley and was allowed to buy it for his estimated price, adding 1,230 acres (5.0 km2) to his land holdings. This conflict of interest was criticized by his neighbors. Then, after the capital of Virginia moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg in 1699, Randolph was able to use his political power and influence to acquire almost 10,000 acres (40 km2) of land in the vicinity of Richmond; a 3,256-acre (13.18 km2) tract at Tuckahoe Creek and a 5,142-acre (20.81 km2) plot at Westham. William Randolph owned a considerable number of slaves. This reflected the rise of slavery during his business career. When he came to Virginia, indentured servants far outnumbered slaves. But as the supply of indentured servants declined late in the 17th Century, the planters turned to slaves for work in the labor-intensive business of tobacco culture. As a “privileged gentleman,” Randolph held multiple official appointments. He became clerk of Henrico County Court in 1673 and held the position until he was asked to serve as a justice of the peace in 1683. He also served as sheriff and coroner. In addition, Randolph represented Henrico County in every assembly of the House of Burgesses from 1684 to 1698, was the Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1698, and was the Clerk of the House from 1699 to 1702. He fell ill in August of 1702 and his son, William, took his place. Randolph resigned the clerkship completely in March of 1703. Randolph was also one of the founders and first trustees of the College of William and Mary. His son, John Randolph, was awarded a knighthood on a trip to London to secure a royal charter for the College. He built a mansion on the Turkey Island plantation on high ground overlooking the island and the river. It featured a ribbed dome and was known as the "Bird's Cage". The total number of William Randolph's children is not certain because of deaths in infancy and the tendency to name children after their deceased siblings. However, it is known that at least nine children survived into adulthood. The sons of William Randolph were each distinguished by the estates left to them. Early generations of Randolphs married into several other gentry families, including Beverley, Fleming, Byrd, Carter, Cary, Harrison and Page. Later affiliations included members of the Lewis, Meriwether and Skipworth families. With William Randolph as its patriarch, the Randolph family became extremely well-respected in Virginia. Randolphs and close relatives formed the predominant political faction in the colonial government during the 18th Century, with many members of the elected House of Burgesses and the appointed, and more exclusive, Council. The Randolphs, like the rest of the Virginia gentry, strongly supported the Revolution. William Randolph is buried on Turkey Island. |
