About John Christopher Fitzrandolph, Sr

- This name is not of Norman-French origin, as might be inferred from the prefix, Fitz, meaning son of, but rather, is of Anglo-Saxon derivation. Under the form Randulf it is found, as an undertenent, in the Domesday Book. I do not find it in the Battle Abbey lists.
- Attempts have been made to connect the American line with the Lords of Middleham and the Dukes of Westmorland (FitzRandolph Traditions) and to find the origin of the line in a certain "Count Herald FitzRandolph, who is mentioned in the Domesday Book as among the nobles who accompanied William the Conqueror from Normandy to England." These may well be the facts, but I have not been able to find the slightest ground for their assertion. At any rate the name is an ancient and honorable one, both in England and America.
- EDWARD FITZRANDOLPH (1), born about 1615, came to New England about 1630, with his mother, a widow. There appears no other information concerning him until May 10, 1637, when, at Scituate, he was married, by the Reverend John Lothrop, to Elizabeth Blossom, joining the church four days later, a step that Elizabeth did not take until 1643. Elizabeth Blossom was a daughter of Deacon Thomas Blossom, from Schooby, England, and was born at Leyden about 1620. Edward removed from Scituate to Barnstable, and then, after many years, to Piscataway, New Jersey, in 1675, dying the following year. His widow subsequently became the second wife of Captain John Pike, of Woodbridge, and died, 1712, in her 93rd year. To Edward and Elizabeth FitzRandolph were born eleven children: Nathaniel (2); Hannah (3); Mary (4); John (5); Joseph (6); Elizabeth (7), who married Andrew Wooden; Thomas (8); Hope (9); and, Benjamin (10). There were two other children, who died in infancy. Some of the married daughters did not come to New Jersey.
- NATHANIEL FITZRANDOLPH (2), son of Edward (1), is said to have been three times married. The present writer has been able to find record of but two marriages, that of 1662, to Mary Holly, or Holloway, of Barnstable, who died 7-12-1703, and that to Mrs. Jane (Curtis) Hampton, of Shrewsbury. She had been married twice before, to Samuel Osborne and John Hampton, and took as a fourth husband, John Sharp. Nathaniel FitzRandolph was a Quaker. He was born in August of 1640 or 1642, at Barnstable, and died at Woodbridge 9-21, 1713. His children were: John Christopher (11); Isaac (12); Nathaniel (13); Samuel (14); Joseph (15); Edward (16); Martha (17); and Benjamin (18).

- '__ __ __ __, and, secondly, 1702, Sarah Potter. His children were: Christopher (44); Martha (44 1/4), who married John Vail; John (44 1/2), born 4-25-1693; and Peter (44 3/4), born 4-20-1695, who is said to have been killed in one of the French wars, and to have left a family. There were five other children, whose names have not been recovered.
- ISAAC FITZRANDOLPH (12), son of Nathaniel (2), was born Dec. 7, 1664, and died at Woodbridge in 1694. He married, first, 1690, Martha Bingler, who married, as second husband, Stephen Tuttle. By the first wife there was one child, Isaac (45), 1693-1750, who married Hannah Dove, and had, I believe, no children. By the second wife there was one child, William (45 1/2), who is believed to have died young.
- NATHANIEL FITZRANDOLPH (13), son of Nathaniel (2), was born in 1666. His wife was Grace, daughter of Tristram Hull, who married, as second husband, John Kinsey, and became the mother of the Johanna Kinsey who married Samuel FitzRandolph (51). His children were: Nathaniel (46); Mary (47); Experience (48); Rachel (49); and, supposed, Tristram (50).
- SAMUEL FITZRANDOPH (14), son of Nathaniel (2), was born in 1666 and died 6-25-1754. He married, 6-8-1693, Mary Jones. Their children were: Samuel (51); Prudence (52), married a Smith; Jacob (53); a daughter (54), who married a Copeland; and Joseph (54 1/2).
- JOSEPH FITZRANDOLPH (15), son of Nathaniel (2), was of Woodbridge, where he died in 1718. He married, 1700, Isobel Laing, who died about the year 1755. Their children were: Joseph (55); Nathaniel (56); Margaret (57), who married Thomas Haddon; and Mary (58).
- EDWARD FITZRANDOLPH (16), son of Nathaniel (2), died 2-23-1760. He married, 1704, Catherine, daughter of Richard Hartshorne, whose line has already been given. She was born May 2, 1682, and died 8-13-1759. It might be remarked here that all thru the Colonial period there are apt to be found different dates fro the same event, due to two confusing causes-- sometimes a date is figured under the old-style, and sometimes under the new. Also, with the Quakers figured dates are always written with the day of the month placed before the serial number of the month, while other communions usually set down first the month number, then the day of the month. The children of Edward and Catherine were: Richard (59); Edward (60); Thomas (61), b. 11-24-1707, d. 7-21-1740, unm.; Mary (62), born 5-24-1710, married successively, William Thorne, James Jackson, and Jacob FitzRandolph (53); Robert (63); Nathaniel (64); Margaret (65), born 9-1-1716, supposed to have married a Coddington; Enoch (66), born 12-1-1718; Hugh (67), born 10-19-1719, died 4-23-1748, unmarried a shipwright of Perth Amboy; and, Hartshorne (68).
