Notes |
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann_Randolph,_Jr.
The Randolphs were among the First Families of Virginia. Born at Tuckahoe Plantation in Goochland County, Virginia, Thomas was the first son of Thomas Mann Randolph (1741?1793), William Randolph's great-grandson and Anne Cary (1745?1789), Archibald Cary's daughter. They were both of the elite planter class. Randolph was a lineal descendant of Pocahontas.
Randolph received his early education from his mother and private tutors, as was customary in many planter families. He attended the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, 1785-1788.
His sisters included Mary Randolph, author of The Virginia House-Wife (1824), and Virginia Randolph Cary, author of Letters on Female Character (1828).
At the end of 1790, their widower father Thomas Randolph, Sr., at the age of 50, married Gabriella Harvie, who was seventeen and the daughter of a neighboring planter. They had two children, a daughter who died in infancy, and a son they named Thomas Mann Randolph, as if "erasing his first son from his prior marriage."[1]

Political and military career
Randolph served in the Virginia State Senate in 1793 and 1794; and was elected as a Republican to the Eighth and Ninth US Congresses (March 4, 1803 ? March 3, 1807). During the War of 1812, he was a colonel of the Twentieth Infantry.
He was elected a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, in 1819, 1820, and 1823?1825. He was elected and served as Governor of Virginia, 1819?1822. He was the first son-in-law of a Virginia Governor to be elected governor in his own right.
Randolph and his wife became estranged after he became an alcoholic, as he became violent and abusive when drinking. Martha took her children to live at Monticello with her father for extended periods of time without her husband. After Jefferson's death, Martha Randolph moved with her two youngest children to Boston to gain distance from her husband.[2]
He lived apart from his family for the next few years.[3] He and his wife were reconciled shortly before his death, and he was cared for at Monticello. Randolph died there and was interred in the Jefferson family burial ground.[3]
