Per a plaque pictured on his father's grave he's buried the same place his father is & was born 1712 & died 1745. It also says there's a Mary Page & I'm thinking that's his wife.

William Randolph and Maria Judith Page started their family at Tuckahoe in the 1730's. By 1745 their four children were orphaned at Tuckahoe after the untimely death of both their parents; their mother died less than a year before
William was left a widower with four children and a large estate to manage.
Before he died, William drew out his will to be sure that his children would be cared for and educated if he should die. In that will, he named his good friend, Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph Jefferson (cousin to William)
guardians of his children.
In 1745, after Williams death, Peter and Jane Jefferson honored their friend's wishes and moved to Tuckahoe with their children, including their young toddler,Thomas.
Thomas Jefferson spent his youth at Tuckahoe and received his first education in the small one-room schoolhouse that still stands today. From 1745 until 1752, the Jeffersons cared for Tuckahoe and the Randolph children.
Mary P., the daughter of Judith &M.Page, was bom the 24 day of February, about 8 o'clock in the morning, 1714.
