Thomas Randolph (of Tuckahoe)

Thomas Randolph (~1683 – 1729), also known as Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe, was the builder of Tuckahoe, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and the second child of William Randolph and Mary Isham.

Randolph was born on the Turkey Island Plantation along the James River in Henrico County, Virginia in 1681. Most sources indicate that he married a woman named either "Judith Churchill" (of Middlesex County, Virginia) or "Judith Fleming" around 1705 or 1710; the couple had three children:

The historian William Edward Railey reported that Randolph married Churchill in 1710, but she died in 1712 (possibly during the birth of his oldest son, William). Railey notes that Randolph married his second wife, Fleming, that same year on October 16, 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.

Tuckahoe was reportedly built by Randolph sometime after his marriage to Churchill. His estate was in the part of Henrico County that later became Goochland County. Randolph and his brother William Randolph II were the two representatives from Henrico in the House of Burgesses for the 1720 to 1722 session. He was the county lieutenant for Goochland in 1728.

Randolph was a great-uncle of United States President Thomas Jefferson.
