Book Description
As the oldest and favorite daughter of Thomas Jefferson, Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph (1772-1836) was extremely well educated, traveled in the circles of presidents and aristocrats, and was known on two continents for her particular grace and sincerity. Yet, as mistress of a large household, she was not spared the tedium, frustration, and great sorrow that most women of her time faced. Though Patsy's name is familiar because of her famous father, Cynthia Kierner is the first historian to place Patsy at the center of her own story, taking readers into the largely ignored private spaces of the founding era. Randolph's life story reveals the privileges and limits of celebrity and shows that women were able to venture beyond their domestic roles in surprising ways. Following her mother's death, Patsy lived in Paris with her father and later served as hostess at the President's House and at Monticello. Her marriage to Thomas Mann Randolph, a member of Congress and governor of Virginia, was often troubled. She and her eleven children lived mostly at Monticello, greeting famous guests and debating issues ranging from a woman's place to slavery, religion, and democracy. And later, after her family's financial ruin, Patsy became a fixture in Washington society during Andrew Jackson's presidency. In this extraordinary biography, Kierner offers a unique look at American history from the perspective of this intelligent, tactfully assertive woman.

Book Description
It cannot be proved that the Virginia Randolphs are connected with the Scottish family of the fourteenth century, but I believe that the connection exists. Thomas Jefferson, who was not given to romancing, stated that the Randolphs could trace far back in England and Scotland, indicating his belief in the Scottish connection of the Virginia family. -- pg. 17.

Book Description
This book presents histories and genealogies of the Randolph family in Scotland, England, Colonial Virginia, and the United States of America. In addition to the Randolphs, it includes the histories and genealogies of seven important English families that are ancestors of the Randolphs. In Scotland, the Randolph name can be traced, with confidence, back to Sir Thomas Randolph, Lord Chamberlain of Scotland in about 1250, but the family was probably founded in about 1190 in Littelsdaleshire, Scotland. The genealogical line itself can be traced with confidence back to Crinan of Dunkeld died 1045. He founded the Scottish royal house of Dunkeld. In England, the family can be traced back to Robert Randolph in South Sussex, who died in 1602. British archives contain earlier English Randolph primary sources, back to the beginning of the second millennium AD, shortly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. However, it is difficult to construct a reliable unbroken English Randolph family genealogical line up to Robert Randolph. Nevertheless, there is considerable circumstantial evidence in primary and secondary sources for descent from John Randall of Hamsey, whose will was, dated 1552. A great many excellent books have been written about the Randolph family, and numerous historical documents are available. However, to my knowledge much of the content of this book about the Randolphs has not been published before. Much of the content about seven other important families in England, from whom the Randolphs are descended, dating back to 858 AD, has not been published in connection with the Randolph family before. This book is the first in a series of three volumes. Volume 2 provides thirty-four histories and genealogies of ancestors of the Randolphs in virtually every European country and parts of the Middle East. Volume 2 contains 5,371 references and notes. This is too many to include in volume 2 itself. Volume 3 contains the references and notes to volume 2."

Book Description
About this volume This book will only be of interest to readers interested in the historical references and source material for the names in the genealogies in volume 2, The Randolph Family, Their Continental European Ancestors, History, and Genealogy Volume 2. This is the third in a series of three volumes concerning the history and genealogy of the Randolph family in Virginia, England, Scotland, and virtually all other European countries. Volume 3 contains only the genealogical reference and historical source material for volume 2. Volume 2 requires over 5,000 genealogical references with 394 pages. This is too many to include in volume 2 itself, so they are contained here in volume 3. About the other two volumes Volume 1 concerns the history and genealogy of the Randolph family in Scotland, England, colonial Virginia, and the United States of America. In addition to the Randolphs, it includes the histories and genealogies of seven important English families that are ancestors of the Randolphs. Volume 2 concerns the histories and genealogies of the Randolph family's ancestors across Europe. There are a great many excellent books about the Randolph family, but to my knowledge most of this material has not been published in connection with the Randolph family before. Due to intermarriage between the noble families of Europe, the Randolphs are descended from families in virtually every European country as well as the Middle East.
