• Robert Randolph M V B K Y Photo: Image file is saved in E:\BHC Work Folder\Cavalryman Photos. Dink has individual photo of him.[3185] Born: 18 November 1835.[3186] 1837.[3187] At “The Grove.”[3188] “[N]ear Casanova, Virginia”[3189] Married: Robert Randolph died at age 28, unmarried.[3190] Died: “[K]illed in the cavalry charge at Meadow Bridge, August 12, 1864 while leading his Regiment the 4th Va. Cav. into action”.[3191] “[K]illed, on the same day, and near the same spot where mortally wounded fell the peerless Cavalry Chieftain of the age, General J. E. B. Stuart.”[3192] “An old soldier… speaking of him the other day said, with tears in his eyes after all these 60 years, ‘Colonel Randolph was too brave—his death was useless, he made all of his men lie down but stood giving his orders when a bullet struck him in the head.’”[3193] “‘Boys, give them one volley before we leave,’ shouted Lieutenant Colonel Robert Randolph….” In the next moment, he was shot through the brain and killed instantly.[3194] “[H]is gallant career ended at Meadow Bridge, May 12, 1864”[3195] Killed in action 12 May 1864 Meadow Bridge; commission for Brig. Gen’l being made when killed; buried “Eastern View”.[3196] Died on 12 May 1864. Buried Randolph Family Cemetery.[3197] “Col. Robert Randolph… was killed in action at Yellow Tavern and buried in Hanover County. His body was later moved to Kinlock near The Plains, Va. and buried in the cemetery there.”[3198] Obituary: (Obit. Rich. Examiner)[3199] Also, see ViHi Keith papers for description of death at Meadow Bridge. Children: Parents and Siblings: “[E]ldest son of Charles and Mary Randolph.”[3200] Mother: Mary Ann Fauntleroy (Mortimer) Randolph; father: Charles Carter Randolph, Capt. C.S.A.[3201] N.B.: Lt. Col. Randolph’s father served in the War of 1812 and was not a Confederate Captain. His parents were Capt. Charles Carter Randolph and Mary Anne Mortimer. His father was born 14 October 1788, died 20 December 1863, and is buried at “Kimlock”. His parents wed in 1825. Robert Randolph had a sister Roberta. Another of his sisters was Nannie Fitzhugh Randolph. He had two to three brothers. [3202] Sister: Mary Beverley (Randolph) Washington; brother: Rev. Charles Carter Randolph, C.S.A., born 1846.[3203] His was one of fifteen siblings: Mary Beverley R.; Elizabeth Hill Carter R.; Landonia R.; Robert Mortimer R. [this is Roberta Mortimer R., a sister whose “gravestone says she was born Dec 15, 1831; grave is at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Orange,” Virginia[3204]]; Lavinia Heth R.; Robert R. (himself); Nancy Fitzhugh R.; Ellen Chew R.; John Mortimer R.; Rev. Charles Carter R., Jr.; Lucy Bolling R.; Norwood Beverly R.; three others, who died young.[3205] Other Family: Robert Randolph [BH] and brothers James Keith [BH] and Isham Keith [BH] were fourth cousins, all three being decended from Mary (Isham) and immigrant William Randolph. Their son William Randoph of Turkey Island and his wife Elizabeth (Beverley) were great-great-great- grandparents of Robert Randolph [BH]; their son Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe and his wife Judith (Fleming) were great-great-great-grandparents of James and Isham Keith [BH].[3206] Cavalryman Robert Randolph’s sister Landonia (24 March 1830– ) wed Robert Dabney Minor (13 September 1827–25 November 1871) on 17 December 1850. Their five children were Mollie (September 1851– ), Landonia Randolph, Annie (February 1866– ), Elizabeth Carter (1870– ), and Robert (1872– ). Randolph’s brother-in-law was the Confederate Naval Lieutenant who sent the Bravest Man Rifle to Randolph in January 1864 for placement in the Black Horse Troop.[3207] His niece Landonia Randolph (Minor) Dashiell (1855– ) composed a booklet of poetry that may be found at reference.[3208] Confederate cavalryman Robert Randolph’s military rank was Captain when he commanded the Black Horse, which was one company of the 4th Virginia Cavalry Regiment. Many sources refer to him as “Captain Randolph”. Later, as commander of the entire 4th Virginia Regiment, his rank was Lieutenant Colonel. His father was War of 1812 Captain Charles Carter Randolph, and his grandfather was Revolutionary War Colonel Robert Randolph. The three generations are: Lt. Col. Randolph for the Black Horse cavalryman (1835–1864); Capt. C. C. Randolph for his father (1788–1863); Col. Randolph for his grandfather (1760–1825). Lt. Col. Randolph’s maternal grandparents were “Dr. Charles Mortimer, who was First Mayor of Fredericksburg”[3209] since its incorporation on 18 March 1782, and Sarah Griffin Fauntleroy. He was one of George Washington’s physicians; “they lived right across the river from each other.” Dr. and Mrs. Mortimer’s son, also Charles Mortimer, ran a drugstore in the same town.[3210] Their daughter, Ann Maria (Mortimer) Moffit—aunt to Lt. Col. Randolph—is buried in the same cemetery as he. She and his mother waited on the table of Washington, LaFayette and Rochambeau at a party at Washington’s Carolina Street home. Descendant acknowledges having seen Lt. Col. Randolph’s mother’s father named in one source as John Mortimer, but believes that is incorrect, as all of his research and family materials support the names he gives above.[3211] Lt. Col. Randolph’s maternal grandparents were John Mortimer and Mary French. His paternal grandparents were Col. Robert Randolph (1760–12 Sept

1825. and “—th [Elizabeth[3212]] Hill Carter” (1769–13 June 1832).[3213] Paternal grandparents: Col. Robert and Elizabeth (Carter) Randolph”[3214]

His paternal grandparents were Elizabeth Hill (Carter) and Robert Randolph (1760–12 September 1825), the latter of whom was born at Chatesworth, Henrico County, son of Lucy (Bolling) and Peter Randolph, and died at Eastern View, Fauquier County. This Robert, the grandfather, was an aide to General Anthony Wayne and a member of the Virginia House of Delegates.[3215] Lt. Col. Randolph’s paternal grandmother was daughter of Charles Carter and Mary Walker of “Shirley”.[3216] [Elizabeth’s[3217]] half-sister was Ann Hill Carter, whose son was General Robert E. Lee.[3218] Robert Randolph [BH] was General Lee’s half-first-cousin once removed. Lt. Col. Randolph’s paternal grandfather, Colonel Robert Randolph, served in the American Revolution.[3219] “Col. Randolph of ‘”Eastern View”, Fauquier Co., entered the Revolutionary Army as an Ensign; was promoted to Captain; served in Baylor’s Dragoons and was captured at Tappan; afterward was Aide to Gen. Wayne a Member of the Virginia House of Delegates.”[3220] A Richmond newspaper printed the following obituary for Col. Randolph: “Died- On Monday, September 12, at his seat, Eastern View, in Fauquier County, Col. Robert Randolph, in his 65th year. He served in the 3d Virginia Regiment in the Revolution.”[3221] Capt. C. C. Randolph was a “War of 1812 Veteran.”[3222] Readers may see this source for a sketch on Lt. Col. Randolph’s father, who “belonged to that distinguished Randolph family of Virginia which had its descent from Pocahontas…. He was a… well rounded man, … possessed of ample means, and his intelligence made him a prominent figure in this county.”[3223] “Capt. Charles Carter Randolph was perhaps the most eccentric man of his day, and withal a “gentleman of the old school.” He was a Captain in the Army, 1812–1815, but resigned when the war ended and retired to his estate, being a large land and slave holder in Staff’d and Fauq. Like many other “Old Line Whigs,” he was an opponent of Secession, though intensely Southern. Early in the War his negroes were stampeded, his home burned, his entire property seized, and he, then nearly 70 years old, dragged off to the Old Capitol Prison. But he was so contumacious that his guards could do nothing with him, and finally turned him loose in despair. The same thing occurred with even more inhuman treatment at every fresh raid of the U. S. troops through Fauq’r on at least five occasions. On the last, when he had become thoroughly enfeebled in body, though still unbroken in spirit, it is said that Mrs. President Lincoln, catching sight of him one day as she passed the prison, was so touched by his air, and evidently suffering condition, that she interfered and procured his release and immunity from further molestation. He soon after died. He was first cousin to Gen. Robert E. Lee, their mothers being sisters.”[3224] [Another version of same story.] [Keep both versions of this story if at all possible. The former exemplifies genteel period writing; the latter is more colorful and provides a natural segue into the Biographies of RR’s siblings.] Lt. Col. Randolph’s father was an 1812 vet and was very cantankerous according to all reports. One time, some Connecticut yankees came to the farm. Charlie and Robert had gone off to war; the father was the only man left there. The yankees demanded the keys to the meat house. His father refused to give the keys to them. One of the yankees pulled out his pistol and held it Robert’s father’s head, saying, “It’s either the keys or your life.” His father said, “Well in that case, I’ll go get you the keys.” He came back with the keys and smashed the yankee across the face with them. The yankees beat him severely and burned the farm, and he was taken to Old Capitol Prison. The only reason that he didn’t die in prison is that Mrs. Turner of Kinloch Farm, The Plains, was friends with Mrs. Lincoln. Mrs. Turner appealed to Mrs. Lincoln, who prevailed upon her husband the President to intervene and release Mr. Randolph from prison. Most of the families of that time period were land-rich, but all of their money was tied up in the land. The yankees burned most of the area farms—Poplar Springs, Eastern View, all those—to the ground, including The Grove, which was the Randolph farm. The house that currently stands at The Grove was made of stone left from the ruins. Many local families lost their land. The reason that The Grove stayed in the Randolph family is that surgeon Dr. Maj. Hicks married Nannie Fitzhugh [Lt. Col. Randolph’s sister] during the war. Dr. Major Hicks bought all the land back to pay the taxes. Because Hicks’s purchase kept the farm in the family, The Grove is a National Bicentennial Farm—one that has been owned and operated by the same family for 200 years.[3225] Biographies on Lt. Col. Randolph’s siblings follow, in order of their ages. Mary Beverley Randolph wed C. S. A. Capt. George Washington Ball (19 February 1828– ) on 11 June 1850. “Capt. Ball, although handicapped by ill health, established, with the splendid help of his wife,… “Springwood Select Home School” for young ladies, near Leesburg. In this school he educated Confederate orphans free of charge.” They had eight children. Their son, Dr. Robert Randolph Ball, C. S. A., “was one of 3 out of 90 candidates who passed the C. S. A. examination for Surgeons.”[3226] Retype of Hayden extract (because original text contained fatal errors): Capt. George Washington Ball, C. S. A. (19 February 1828– ) was the oldest child in one of his parents’ second marriage. On 11 June 1850, he wed Mary Beverley Randolph ( –24 July 1889[3227]). Her parents were Capt. Charles Carter Randolph and Mary Ann Fautleroy Mortimer. Her paternal grandparents were Col. Robert Randolph and Elizabeth Carter. She was a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Capt. Ball was educated at Prince Edward High School, Virginia, and the University of Virginia. He enlisted in the Loudoun Cavalry, C. S. A., in 1861; was appointed Capt. on staff of Genl. Richard Griffith in October 1861. In 1862, owing to ill health, he was declared unfit for service, and left the army, but returned to do relief duty. He was an invalid when the war of 1861 began, having had 20 severe hemorrhages from the lungs after his 23d year. After the war, Mr. and Mrs. Ball established the “Springwood Select Home School” for young ladies, near Leesburg, in which he educated Confederate orphans free of charge until his health again demanded rest from active duties. I am greatly indebted to him for much data in this Ball pedigree. He is a member of the “Sons of the American Revolution.” Mr. and Mrs. Ball’s children were: Charles Fayette; Burgess; Mary Randolph; Richard Thompson Mason; Landonia Minor. [N.B.: Hayden lists neither 8 children nor a “Robert Randolph Ball”, as the Beverley book does.] Burgess graduated from VMI in 1875 with the highest honors. Genl. Smith, President of the VMI, wrote ‘that he had the finest receptive powers of any pupil he had ever had in the Institute.’ In 1879, Burgess was appointed Professor at Industrial University of Arkansas, where Genl. D. H. Hill was president. Burgess died in Warrenton, Virginia, on 26 December 1880 at age 26.[3228] Richard was appointed Assistant Paymaster, USN, on 16 June 1880. [Mrs. Ball died in Alexandria.[3229]] [3230] End this group of info. Elizabeth Hill Carter Randolph wed Capt. Alfred Ball Carter, C. S. A. He “was wounded at Spotsylvania Court House, and at Winchester 1864.”[3231] Landonia Randolph wed Capt. Robert Dabney Minor, C. S. N.[3232] Minor was the naval officer who brought the rifle from Canada to Fauquier that was given to Robert Martin [BH]. The men in the Black Horse Company were brave, but the rifle went to someone in the company that Lt. Col. Randolph commanded because his brother-in-law, Minor, was charged with distributing the rifle.[3233] Lt. Col. Randolph’s sister Roberta Mortimer Randolph never married.[3234] Sometimes info on Robert conflicts because a fact is actually about his sister Roberta. She is buried at St. Timothy’s Church in Orange.[3235] Lavinia Heth Randolph died at age 16, unmarried.[3236] [NOTE:Normally we don’t include anything about siblings other than their names, Need to “focus like a laser” on BH men. Since RR died so young, like so many other men of the cavalry, have a little space to mention more than usual about his siblings, but would like to keep the pph or two on each of them down around 3–8 lines. Ergo, what to do with this obit?] Robert I. Hicks lived 30 December 1833–16 October (after 3 January 1919).[3237] “In the civil war he served as surgeon with the 23rd North Carolina Infantry; he became Brigade Surgeon and was one of the physicians called in consultation over General Jackson.[3238] [Definitely use this.] … “In intellectual equipment, skill and experience Dr. Hicks stood among the leading men of his profession. He was noted as a diagnostician, was Vice-President of the Virginia Medical Society and a frequent contributor to medical magazines. To the close of his life … he retained his clear mind and intellectual tastes and was a student of history and current events. …his cheerful, social and kindly nature endeared him to all.” [3239] [Maybe use this.] “Dr. John Ravenswood Hicks” “Born Jan 10, 1871, died in France 1919.  Married to Grace Hamilton April 26, 1988.” “Son of Major Robert Iverson Hicks, CSA (my great grandfather)”[3240] [NOTE:important for confirmatn purpose.] [chk eml re dts] Nancy “Nannie” Fitzhugh Randolph ( –1893) wed Dr. Robert Iverson Hicks,[3241] a C.S.A. surgeon,[3242] in 1864.[3243] Nancy’s husband bought “The Grove” to pay the taxes on it and keep the farm in the family. See more on this story, above. They returned from [North?] Carolina a few years after the war to reside in Warrenton for thirty-five years.[3244] Their daughter, Mary Randolph Hicks, wed Francis Scott Carter, son of Cassius Carter [BH].[3245] See Cassius Carter’s entry for more on their family. Nannie & R. I. Hicks’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. J. R. Hicks, lived until at least 1919.[3246] John Ravenswood Hicks, Jr., son of Dr. J. R. Hicks, was born in 1871, indicating that Mrs. J. R. Hicks was the doctor’s wife and could be addressed thus after 1871.[3247] The Randolph poem was a “gift to Mrs. J. R. Hicks (Warrenton, VA) in 1889”. Could the wife of Dr. J. R. Hicks been the poem’s recipient? She was wife of Lt. Col. Randolph’s nephew. [NOTE:need to put all this near the poem itself, or near the teaser for it at this entry.] Returning to Lt. Col. Randolph’s siblings: his sister Ellen Chew Randolph died age 2.[3248] His brother John Mortimer Randolph died at age 72, unmarried.[3249] Descendant doesn’t think that he was in the Black Horse Company, but says that it’s possible.[3250] Rev. Charles Carter Randolph, Jr., C. S. A., wed first Sarah T. Anthony and second Sarah Blair McGuire.[3251] He was called “the little general” . See a story about him, below. Lucy Bolling Randolph died in infancy.[3252] Norwood Beverly Randolph died at age 24, unmarried.[3253] Lt. Col. Randolph’s brother, “Rev. Charles Carter Randolph, C. S. A., born 1846; aged 15 in 1861, attached himself to Capt. Throckmorton’s Co., 6th Va. Cav., until his friends insisted on his going home. He gathered up his traps, mounted his horse, whose saddle flaps his feet hardly reached, rode straight to Old Stonewall’s Headquarters, and, without dismounting, demanded to see him. Sandy Pendleton, the Adj’t, came out and said the General could not be seen. Charlie waited until Stonewall himself came and asked what he wanted. “I want to know, General,” he replied, “if you can’t give me something to do.” A roar of laughter from the officers around greeted this remark. But Stonewall gently questioned the boy, and finally assigned him to his staff of Couriers. From that hour he and the General were inseparable. To the great Leader the boy’s simplicity, piety, and never forgetting to say his prayers, seemed to endear him. He slept every night in Jackson’s tent, and was with him in every fight until the [Viginia Military] Institute was reopened, when, realizing that “threshing seed corn” was not good policy for the country, the General secured Charlie’s entrance there and told him he must go. He was there a great favorite and hard student. But the Corps of Cadets were put into the fight at the battle of Newmarket, and “the little general,” as Charlie was called, was left for dead on the field with a bullet above the ear. A noble physician nearby took him home and nursed him until he recovered.” He [graduated from] V. M. I. [in] 1870; taught school; [graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in] 1876; [was] ordained Deacon and Priest [of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and is] Rector of the [Church] at Fincastle….”[3254] Charlie was Jackson’s courier. He is mentioned in a book called Stonewall’s Courier.[3255] When he was 14 or 15 years old, Charlie took his parents’ best horse and ran away to join the army. He got as far as Front Royal where someone sweet-talked him out of the horse. So then he was standing around when Jackson came through. He approached Jackson. Jackson thought he was too young for the army but could be a courier. They were marching to battle when Jackson found out how young Charlie actually was. He sent Charlie to VMI, to safeguard him, just in time for Charlie to be sent with a group of other VMI cadets to New Market, where he got shot in the head. The next day when they were cleaning up the battlefield, they found that a few of those thought dead were still alive, one of those being Charlie. After the war, he became a preacher.[3256] The cemetery marker of Robert Randolph’s sister is inscribed: “Sacred to the memory of/ Roberta M./ Daughter of Charles & Mary/ Randolph/ of Fauquier Co. Va./ Born/ Dec 15 1831/ Died/ Sept 19 1863/ Blessed in the/ sight of the/ Lord is/ she”. The transcriber notes:  “All indications are that the above is Roberta Randolph, daughter of Charles Carter Randolph and Mary Anne Fauntleroy Mortimer of Eastern View, Fauquier, Virginia.”  “Charles Carter Randolph and M. A. F. Mortimer lived at The Grove, which was left to Charles when Col. Robert Randolph died in 1825. The Grove was, and is, just down the road from Eastern View, where Charles was born. Roberta was born at Cedar Grove Plantation in Stafford County. Both Cedar Grove Plantation and The Grove were owned by Roberta’s grandfather, Col. Robert Randolph of Eastern View.”[3257] In a letter to his sister, Robert refers to Williams Wickham as “cousin.”[3258] Stories, Letters & Biographies: 11 June 1861—“I have been officer of the day….” 22 July 1861—“Lincoln will now be more inclined to recognize us….” 7 March—“We are beginning to realize now what war is.” 7 September 1863—“I am still uncertain about accepting the position of Major….”[3259] See Letters Chapter. “…Captain Randolph was a born soldier.”[3260] “He called them by their nicknames, laughed and joked around their campfires and led them in snowball battles. However, when he buckled on his sword, not General Lee himself could have commanded more respectful obedience.”[3261] See Biographies Chapter. “On the 18th of May, 1861,”… “soldiers in the Spartan sense”… “observed a Masonic sign”… “always counted on the Black Horse in emergencies”… “a gem of eloquence”… “an old Black Horseman… said the other day”….[3262] See Stories Chapter under The Black Horse Troop. Appointed an official of an absentee election held in the Black Horse troop for state delegate to the national legislature. See Letters Chapter under Charles Henry Gordon. “Nor, … / The less shall mourn that veteran band,/ Which followed at thy brave command/ Where thou didst nobly lead—”[3263] See Biographies Chapter. “[T]heir names live throughout these counties and their deeds are still told by many firesides and listened to with the reverence with which the Sagas were heard in ancient days.”[3264] See Stories Chapter under Joseph Samuel Reid. “I was pleased to learn of the compliment [receiving a rifle awarded to the bravest man in Lee’s army,] paid to Robert Martin, he is a very deserving young man and a splendid soldier.”[3265] See Stories Chapter under Robert Edward “Bob” Martin. “Lewis went to Fauquier… [W]ill go… myself tomorrow… I wrote to Col. Randolph for another [man].” [3266] See Letters Chapter under Channing Meade Smith. Channing wrote this report a few days before he, Richard Lewis, and another Black Horse man overcame a larger group of yankees near Catlett, Fauquier County. See Channing’s stories and Lewis’s letters for full details. “Capt. Robert Lee Randolph, C. S. A., … born 1837, was Capt. of the “Black Horse” Cavalry, a single company from Fauquier, which struck such terror to the Federal Army that they called all C. S. Cavalry the “Black Horse” Cavalry. He was Chief of Body Guard to Stonewall Jackson and Lt. Col. 4th Va. Cav., his Commission as General of Cavalry being made out when his gallant career ended at Meadow Bridge, May 12, 1864.”[3267] CSR: “Robert Lee Randolph”; Companies H, F; UVA law student; 1st Lt.; elected Capt. 19 September 1861; horse shot 4 October 1861 Pohick Church; re-elected Captain 25 April 1862; detached on scout December 1862; horse killed Chancellorsville; paid $600; chief of Genl.
