Elizabeth Meade Randolph

Elizabeth Meade Randolph was born on 8 May 1802 Ampthill Plantation, Chesterfield County, Virginia. Note. Bible entry is clearly "Ampthill May 8th 1802" on the Randolph Bible. The entry is not contemporaneous with her birth, as entries from 1771 through 1815 are all in the same hand.
Her records in the censuses of 1850-70 do not support a 1802 birth year, but more like 1812.1 Elizabeth and Alexander Trent, son of Alexander Trent and Ann Anderson, were married 19 October 1837 Chestnut Grove, Henrico County, Virginia, The Valentine Papers, Vol 1-4, 1864-1908 Randolph Family Marriage Bonds Marriage of Alexander Trent to Elizabeth Meade Randolph .
