Mr. W. G. Stanard has an interesting note in the Richmond Critic for Sept. 3, 1888, regarding the descendants of the latter. Rev. Henry Isham Longden, Shangton Rectory, Leicester, England, states that in the visitation it appears that Henry was the uncle of William, and was baptized November 27, 1623.(1) Henry Randolph was clerk of Henrico county from about 1656 and clerk of the House of Burgesses from about 1660 to his death in 1673. The following paper is in the handwriting of John Randolph, of Roanoke, copied evidently from some family Bible. The notes on the margin and the pedigree at the end were perhaps added by Mr. Randoph himself: 1 Henry & Eliz Randolph mar: by Mr Edw: ffolliott(1) minister ye 12th of Oct 1652 obijt Eliz: 12 oct 1660. 2 Henry, son of Hen: & Eliz: born at Appamatok 2 Sept, 1654, being Satterday, [died infant 1654] baptized by Mr. Robt Lesley being Sunday Sponsrs Geo: & Mary Worsham. Robt & Mary West–dyed ye 8 8ber being Monday–buried ye 10th." There were Worthams in Middlesex Co., VA but no Worshams.
