Hi Beth.
My name is Charles FitzRandolph and am a direct descendant of Edward FitzRanaolph and Elizabeth Blossom, through Edward, Thomas, Jonathan, Samuel, Jesse, John LaForge, Gideon, Rev. John and Me.
My interest at the moment concerns the relationships of the Vail's and the FitzRandolph's. Their paths have crossed many times in the past, and continue to cross to this date. My wife's maiden name was Vail and her father's name was Claude Mitchell Vail. His father was William Banks Vail. They lived in Ohio before moving to Lafayette county, Belmont and later Benton Wisconsin.
Edward 1706-1750 married Phoebe Jackson 1712-1777. Their third child was Catherine FitzRandolph who married John Vail 1734-1804. My records, taken from a book "EDWARD FITZRANDOLPH BRANCH LINES" BY Oris H. FitzRandolph, second edition, 1980 shows Catherine's sister, Margaret 1746-______, married Abraham Vail (Red) 1744-1846. They had a son John A. Vail 1777-1832 who married Deborah Harnard 1788-1861.
Now comes what appears to be a conflict"
Edward's brother, Robert,1712-1804 married Catherine Taylor and they had a daughter, 3rd child, Margaret, who married John Vail 1744-1842. Marriage date for both Margarets is shown to be 1766.
Further another brother of Edward, is Richard, first born, 1705-1754, married Elizabeth Corlis 1716-_____. Their 3rd child was Thomas 1740-_____,who married Abagail Vail 1742-before 1809. There are many other offspring but the name Vail does not appear again for a couple of generations.
If you have any information concerning Vail's in Franklin township, Warren county, Ohio, or Mt. Vernon,Knox county, Ohio, I would appreciate anything you can give me.
