"He appears to be the ancestor who dropped the prefix of Fitz from his name; as his will indicates. That instrument bears date 7th April 1778. It describes him as 'James Fitz Randolph, of the county of Monmouth, etc., yeoman'. It was signed James Randolph.
In the will, he devised to his wife Deliverance, during her lifetime, 'my plantation whereon I now live, as far as the fence south of Lahaway' (brook). His personal estate, by the inventory, amounted to L378.0.9; and he also devised sawmills, cedar swamps, pine lands, negroes, salt works, and a plantation at Sketor Cove and orders his sloop to be sold - indicating that he was a man of considerable property. His sons, Samuel, John, Isaac and Stephen, were to be put to trades, and to receive their portions at the age of 21; and his daughter, Hannah, hers at 18 or marriage. His executors were his brother, Benjamin Fitz-Randolph, Tobias Hendrickson (husband of Rebecca, sister of Deliverance Coward), and Thomas Forman, Esq."
This will was proven 20 Dec 1781; so, James must have died about that time.
"He was a volunteer in the Continental Army; was one of Morgan's riflemen for a time; was in the battles of Monmouth, Princeton, and others. He hated the Tories and took pleasure in harassing them....James Randolph himself died a martyr to the American cause, a prisoner in what was then called 'the Provost', a wretched prison in New York."
