PHILIP FITZ RANDOLPH
Have any of the Fitz Randolph descendants heard of Philip Fitz Randolph who was born in 1777 in NH, bought a small lot in Essex County NJ in 1804, married Susannah Gray, daughter of Daniel Gray, in May 1799, moved
to Warren Co., OH, in 1809?Philip was probably a blacksmith and lived in Ridgeville, Warren Co., OH, until about 1850, when he moved to Shelby Co., OH, and made his home with son Rhodes and later with son Phineas.
He and Susannah had six or eight children ( I have been able to verify only six, two of whom died young).Philip was blinded by burning charcoal, died in 1861 and is buried in Shelby co. next to son James Butler F. Randolph. I have been trying to verify his parents for years and would be grateful for any leads.
