    Notes:

    Lady Susannah Beverley Randolph

    women sewing
    Born ca. 1692
    Member of prestigious Virginia family
    Wife of only knight in the colony
    Managed large household
    Mother of accomplished offspring
    Died sometime after 1754
    Early years

    Susannah Beverley Randolph was born about 1692 and became a wife about 1718 - there are no records of the exact dates. If truly 26 at the time of her marriage, she was rather mature for a colonial bride - but certainly not alone in taking her vows at that age. Her eldest sister was the wife of her husband's eldest brother, which may suggest how they met. Whatever the uncertainties, there is no doubt that Sir John found her to be an excellent mate, or that she reared children of unusual ability.

    Truly a lady

    In almost two centuries of colonial Virginia history, there was only one woman who had a certifiable claim to the title of "Lady" - Susannah Beverley Randolph. Courtesy, of course, bestowed the honor of "lady" on every woman of "the better sort," and certainly most of "the middling class." But she was the wife of Sir John Randolph, the only Virginian knighted from the day Roanoke Island was settled in 1585 until independence was declared in 1776.

    Prestigious Virginia family

    To be a Randolph was to be a member of the most powerful clan in 18th-century Virginia. Sir John was the most accomplished lawyer in the colony, and a public servant of the first rank. But Susannah Beverley brought to her marriage a connection to a family nearly as distinguished. Her kinsmen had been high government officials and prominent planters. One had written a history of the colony in 1705 that was still in print 242 years later.

    It appears - again the records are silent - that she bore her first child, a son named Beverley, about 1720. Peyton, named for his maternal grandmother's family, was born in 1721. John, known to historians as "The Tory," but sincerely respected by his contemporaries, was born in 1727 or 1728. Her only daughter, Mary, followed, but the year of her birth is uncertain.

    Considerable domestic responsibilities

    Apart from her children, Susannah Randolph had charge of a domestic establishment that was among Williamsburg's largest and best. Moreover, there were three plantations, at least one of which had houses of some sort that may have required her management. Her husband's position required frequent and fine entertaining of clients and associates, an activity that also required her attention.

    Sir John's obituary in the Virginia Gazette stated: "As he received a noble Income, for Services in his Profession and Emploiments, so he, in some Measure, made a Return, by a most generous, open and elegant Table . . . But the Plenty, Conduct, and Hospitality, which appeared there, reflect an equal Praise on himself and his Lady."

    Young widow

    Widowed in 1737, she was entrusted with a share in the supervision of her husband's estate for the benefit of their children and for herself. When Sir John penned the portion of his will specifying his bequests, he began with "my dear and most beloved wife who for her faithfulness affection and prudence deserves to be remembered in the first place." She was given the use of his property in Williamsburg for her life, after which it became Peyton Randolph's.

    In the care of the estate, she had the assistance of her two brothers-in-law, but she seems to have been quite capable of acting for herself. In 1740, after the family's tobacco inspection and warehousing facilities on nearby College Creek expanded, she petitioned the General Assembly for an increase in the rents. Her petition was granted.

    Life in Williamsburg society

    After Sir John's death, Susannah Randolph still moved in Williamsburg's social circle and remained the object of the considerate attention of the friends she and her husband had shared. Among them was William Byrd II, who was a member of the colony's Council and General Court, the scion of another first family, and the master of Westover plantation on the James River.

    Byrd and his wife were old and particular friends, and his diaries record visits to the Widow Randolph many evenings when business carried him to the city. Sometimes she sent a carriage to meet him at the ferry. They played cards, drank tea, or merely visited. In the words of a Colonial Williamsburg historian, Byrd had "special ties of affectionate concern for her welfare, and pleasure in her company."

    By 1751, and perhaps earlier, Susannah had the company of son Peyton and his wife as well. In 1745, when he was entitled to his share in the income of his father's estate, he married Betty Harrison. Peyton may have lived with his mother all along, but by 1751 the house was referred to as if it were already his, suggesting that he was in residence and in charge.

    Burial site unknown

    The records of Bruton Parish Church show that Susannah Randolph had two slaves baptized in 1754. It is her last appearance in the historical record. Neither the date of her death nor the place of her burial is known.

    Re: Mary Keeble, is not Major Robert Beveley's wife

    In Reply to: Re: Mary Keeble, is not Major Robert Beveley's wife by Lois Beverly of 908

    Maj. Robert Beverley married Margaret Boyd in 1666,
    she was born in 1637, and her family stemmed down
    from Eng. and European Royalty. Her parents were
    James Boyd and Catherine Crayke. Margaret was born
    March l,1637 in Hull, Yorkshire, England and died
    June 28, 1678 at Blandfield, Middlesex Co.,Va.

    The next wife was of Maj. Beverly's was Catherine Armistead, born 1643. She was from a noted family
    also, with them being active in Jamestown colony.

    After Maj. Robert died in 1687, Catherine Armistead married Christpher Robinson. Maj.Beverley and
    Catherine's daughter, Catherine Beverley, married
    John Robinson.)

    Maj. Robert Beverley had children only by these two women. Margaret was called Mary most of her life.
    That is where the Mary came from which was put on
    her tombstone.

    About Mary Keeble, her husband being Maj. Robert
    PEYTON, born 1640, and him also being in the House of
    Burgesses during Maj. Robert Beverley's terms, could
    be where the mixup was started and also with their
    children married within the in-law-family.

    Peter, Robert Beverley's first son married Elizabeth Peyton. Elizabeth Peyton was Mary Keeble and Robert Peyton's first child of their 15 children. Mary Keeble
    was born June 3, 1637 and reared 15 children, it made
    her living a lot longer than the marriage to Margaret
    Boyd before she died in 1678.

    The children Mjr. Beverley had with Margaret were born from 1666 to 1678. The children he had with Catherine
    were born from 1679 to 1687.

    Back to Peter Beverley and Elizabeth Peyton,they had
    a daughter Anne Beverley, b. 1689 that married Major
    Henry Whiting. On one web site it said Mary Keeble's
    maiden name was Whiting, that I do not know and it
    could have been a mix-up also. And another, Mary
    Keeble was supposed to be a widow and her name was
    Mary Whiting Keeble, that has not been verified
    either.

    I am just sure after seeing Mary Keeble and Major
    Rbt. Peyton's family that it was not she that was
    Major Beverley's wife. These two men were collegues
    in politics and that is their only connection with
    Mary Keeble.
