      Randolph Jefferson, (have seen some reference to his first name being John) younger brother of Preident Thomas Jefferson was first married to his first cousin, Anna Lewis, daughter of Charles Lilburn Lewis and Mary Randolph. His second marriage was to
      Mitchie B. Pryor, daughter of David Pryor of Buckingham County Virginia.

      Herbert and Evelyn Barger, compilers of this Jefferson genealogy, have visited the outside of this home, "Snowden" located just across the James River from Scottsville, Virginia on State Route 747. A painting of this old, but now renovated home, is on display at the Scottsville Museum. The Bargers have a picture of this painting and slides and information of the home of Peter Field Jefferson, Randolph's grandson and son of Thomas. The former Scott home, "Mount Walla" was built by John Scott of the town's founder's family. Evelyn Barger is Randolph's first cousin, six generations
      removed.

      Randolph attended William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia beginning at age sixteen n 1771 and finishing in 1772. He also shared his brother Thomas's love of music and studied the violin under the same instructor as did Thomas. During the Revolutionary War he served in the Virginia Light Dragoons. He was commissioned a Captain of Buckingham Militia in 1794. Randolph patented or was granted 1327 acres in Buckingham County Virginia on May 30, 1800. The land was adjoining Robert Craig on Big
      Georges Creek.

      The book THOMAS JEFFERSON AND HIS UNKNOWN BROTHER RANDOLPH,
      University of VA, Charlottesville 1942 states:
      "Randolph, born at Shadwell on Oct 1, 1755, was 12 years younger than Thomas, With his twin sister, Anna Scott, he was the last of the ten children... He was two years old, and Thomas was fourteen when his father died in 1757. ... "He twice married. On July 30, 1780 he married Anne Jefferson Lewis the daughter of colonel Charles Lewis of Buck Island. she was his first cousin, and the sister of Charles Lilburne Lewis, who in 1769 had married Randolph's sister Lucy. The Lewis and Jefferson families became even more closely connected later on when Thomas, the son of Randolph, married Mary Randolph, the daughter of Lucy Jefferson Lewis

      Randolph, by his first wife, who died sometime before 1808, had five sons: Thomas, Robert Lewis, Field, Isham Randolph, and James Lilburne; and a daughter, Anna Scott. His second wife was Mitchie B. Pryor, Daughter of David Pryor of Buckingham county.
      He married her in 1808 or 1809, and by her had one son, John Jefferson. ... A grandson Peter Field (the son of Randolph's son Thomas) was a country merchant made what the little town of Scottsville considered a large fortune.
