Narrative

Not inappropriately have William of Turkey Island and his wife MaryIsham been termed "the Adam and Eve of Virginia." Bearers of theRandolph name sprouted like so many pine trees in an abandoned field,and fell just short of comprising the entire body of the gentry.Descendants include the names of Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, andRobert E. Lee, defying comparison with any other American family.
