Randall Holt I (b. 1607) was 13 years old when he arrived at Jamestown aboard the "George" in 1620. He was the orphaned son of Randoulphe Holte and wife Elizabeth Potts (possibly a relative of Dr. John Pott)., although he was listed on the manifest of the "George" as a servant and misidentified as indentured (a field hand) he was actually apprenticed to (a ward) Dr. John Pott, Physician general, to the Colony, who was responsible for his support and education. There is no direct or documentary evidence to support this theory, circumstances indicate that it may be a fact. Dr. Pott, and young Holt, were in the party of Sir Francis Wyatt, the newly appointed Governor of Virginia, and as a part of the colony's "Administration" were provided with a house on the "Governor's Land. As a member of Dr. Pott's household, Randall was introduced to important people of the London Company and leaders of the Virginia Colony. Through these introductions he made powerful friends and learned useful skills It was even through these contacts that he even made his future wife, the heiress Mary Bailey (Bayly). Randall and Mary Bailey (Bayly) were married at Hogg Island, Surry County, Colonoal Virginia.
