North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, younger son of Colonel John Grymes I, married Frances Jenings (the family name often appears as Jennings), daughter of Edmund Jenings, Esq., of ?Ripon Hall,? York County, governor of Virginia 1706-10, and son of Sir Edmund Jenings, Member of Parliament, of Ripon, Yorkshire, England, and his wife Margaret Barkham, daughter of Sir Edward Barkham, Member of Parliament, of Norfolk, England, and grand-daughter of the elder Sir Edward Barkham who was a member of the Virginia Company of London and of the East India Company. The younger Edmund Jenings, father of Frances (Jenings) Grymes, was married to Frances Corbin, daughter of Henry and Alice (Eltonhead) Corbin of ?Buckingham House,? Middlesex County, who had come to Virginia from Warwickshire, England, in 1654. Colonel Charles Grymes was a justice and sheriff of Richmond County in the Northern Neck, and served in the House of Burgesses, 1727-1734. He and Frances (Jenings) Grymes had two daughters; Frances Grymes, born 1717, married Philip Ludwell III of ?Green Spring? and ?Rich Neck,? James City County, son of Philip and Hannah (Harrison) Ludwell also of ?Green Spring? and ?Rich Neck,? and grandson of Philip and Lucy (Higginson) Burwell Bernard Ludwell. (The second wife of this last Philip Ludwell was Frances [Culpepper] Stephens Berkeley, widow of Governor Sir William Berkeley of ?Green Spring?; it was noted of her that she insisted on being addressed as ?Lady Berkeley,? even after her marriage to Philip Ludwell.) Philip Ludwell III was a Burgess in 1748-49, and a member of the Royal Governor?s Council, 1751-60. He built the noted Ludwell-Paradise house in Williamsburg, later the home of his daughter, the famous eccentric ?Mad Lucy,? who married John Paradise and lived in London until his death, whereupon she returned to Williamsburg. Their daughter, Lucy Paradise, remained in Europe and married the Italian Count Antonio Barziza of Venice. LUCY4 GRYMES (Charles3, John 2, Katherine1), born 1734, known as the ?Lowland Beauty" who was said to have refused the hand of young George Washington, married in 1754, Colonel Henry Lee II, 1727/9-1787, of ?Leesylvania,? Potomac River, Prince William County. He was a son of Henry Lee, Sr., 1671-1747, and wife Mary Bland of ?Lee Hall,? Westmoreland County. Mary (Bland) Lee, 1703-1764, was a daughter of Richard, 1665-1720, and Elizabeth (Randolph) Bland, 1680-1719/20, of ?Jordan?s Point? on the James River, and grand-daughter of Theodoric and Anne (Bennett) Bland of ?Westover? on the James (later the William Byrd estate), and Colonel William Randolph of ?Turkey Island,? James River, who came to Virginia from Warwickshire, England, sometime between 1669 and 1674, and married Mary Isham, daughter of Henry and Katherine Isham of ?Bermuda Hundred? on the south side of the James. Because of the prominence of their descendants, and their widespread family connections, William and Mary (Isham) Randolph of ?Turkey Island? were long-ago dubbed ?the Adam and Eve of Virginia Society.? Randolph descendants included US President Thomas Jefferson. [S100] Internet Source, http://www.aylesworth.net/Confidence_family_DWT_CSS/rfa_jennings.htm. HON.
