Lt. Col. Thomas Randolph, son of Col. William Randolph I and Mary Isham, was born on July 10, 1683 on Turkey Island, Henrico County, Virginia. Thomas married the very wealthy Judith Fleming, daughter of Charles Fleming (son of Sir Thomas Fleming of Scotland) and Susanna Tarleton, on October 16, 1712 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. Judith was born in November of 1689 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, Virginia. Some posit Judith's middle name as having been Churchill or that, perhaps, the Fleming estate may have been called "Church Hill." Neither, however, is proven and there is nothing to suggest a middle name for her. Thomas and Judith were married relatively late in life, which leads to some speculation that either they had already been married in a Quaker ceremony or that there had been a previous marriage for Thomas to someone else. No evidence has been found for either, however.
The Fleming family were devout Quakers. Again, it is theorized by some that Thomas Randolph may have married Judith Fleming in a Quaker ceremony prior to the date of their "official" marriage which they would have had performed because Quaker marriages were not seen as legally binding in those days and any children born from such a union were considered illegitimate. It is possible that they could have had a child or children prior to their "official" marriage, but this is speculation. If they did, the names of said children are unknown. In addition, Thomas' father, William Randolph I, had been involved in the persecution of Quakers, thus providing another reason to further legitimize such a union.
Thomas and Judith resided at Tuckahoe, Henrico County, Virginia where they established "one of the James River's most famous plantations." It was far removed from most of the other Randolph families (about 15 miles above the falls of the James River) but, since it was on the James River, it could be easily accessed since river travel was the most common mode of transportation at that time. The name "Tuckahoe" came from a Native American name for the creek flowing through the property. It is also known that Thomas Randolph owned "several notable horses" which were used for breeding and racing.
Thomas Randolph attended the College of William and Mary in Virginia. Thomas Randolph also served as a member of the Quorum Court of Henrico County, Virginia in 1702 as Presiding Justice. In March of 1712 Thomas Randolph became overseer of all of William Byrd's plantations. He was also appointed Deputy Sheriff and served as a Justice of the Peace and a Coroner. Thomas served as Captain of a Company of the Virginia Militia rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. And Thomas also owned a mill which was located on his property.
Thomas Randolph died in 1730 at Tuckahoe in Goochland County (created 1728), Virginia. At the time of his death Thomas Randolph was the presiding Justice and also served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Goochland County militia.
The known children of Thomas and Judith Randolph were Col. William (1713-1745), Mary Isham (c1716 - Dec. 1772) and Judith (b. c1718).
