Mary Randolph is identified as the daughter of William Randolph and Mary Isham, in the last will and testament of her maternal grandmother Katherine Banks Isham dated 1686. The Daughters of Colonel William Randolph of Turkey Island and two informative wills published in Genealogies of Virginia Families from Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 5. It goes on to say that Mary Randolph, the elder daughter of her parents, named for her mother (and wrongly stated to have been born in 1682) married Captain William Stith (frequently given as John) and had issue:

Mary Randolph, seventh child and oldest daughter of William Randolph (1st) of Turkey Island (and Mary Isham) was born there about 1692 and married about 1712, Captain William Stith of Charles City County, a son of Captain John Stith, who was disfranchised by the Bacon Generl Assembly of 1676 on the charge of being one of the chief causes of all their greivances and had issue per Tuckahoe and the Tuckahoe Randolphs by Jefferson Randolph Anderson, Savannah, GA published in Genealogies of Virginia Families from The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. The will of Henry Isham, establishes the fact that Mary and Elizabeth Randolph were born before 10 October 1686 and must now be the eldest children instead of they youngest as previously thought.
