https://archive.org/details/williammarycolle04tyle/page/n275

Twins, Grief and Mourning Randolph (b. 1726) were the poshumous daughters of Henry Randolph III with his wife, Elizabeth daughter of Francis Eppes. At least one of them was deceased by 1732.

Origins

In his will dated Aug. 27, 1726 Henry Randolph named his first four children. Issue: l) Sarah; 2) Anne; 3) Henry; 4) Francis. His last two children were posthumous twins, which accounts for their unusual names, 5) Grief (male) and 6) Mourning (female) and for their not being named in his will.
