  • In this episode, we join historian Travis Shaw to meet Edmund Randolph. Faced with the crucial choice of his generation, he chose the American cause and served in the struggle for Independence and still further in the young government.
    In this second episode about two men of similar means and location who made different choices, also hear how his experience contrasts with that of Thomas Taylor Byrd, whom we met last episode.

    You know it’s crazy how strong genetics are. I come from the Randolph family, William Henry’s. Nearly all my family members on that side have died from strokes. Even my brother had a stroke at 52 and passed away. Peyton died from a stroke at 54 and if I went through my genealogy I’m sure it would be quite a long list in 400 years.

    I am a Randolph, I wonder if this family is in my ancestor line?

      Randolph family here too. I have my ancestry done. Everyone that is related can be found in a book written by Grady Randolph called the Randolph family of Henrico, Va. he stopped in the 60’s I believe so if you’re younger than that then you can find a parent or grandparent in the book.
