Ancestor Birthday - June 20th - Martha FitzRandolph 1758 - 1837


Martha FitzRandolph was my 4th great-grandmother, born 20 Jun 1758, the daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth (Moores) FitzRandolph, in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. My website includes very little information about her.

By looking at other trees and a few available online documents I have come to the following conclusions. Sometime around 1777 Martha married Elias Marsh, the eldest son of Joseph Marsh in New Jersey. It appears they had 7 children and the family moved to Columbiana County, Ohio by 1806, when Elias was received on certificate at the Quaker Salem Monthly Meeting.

They were still living in Columbiana County in 1820 when Elias died. Martha and her son Elias were appointed as adminstrators of the estate. They signed the bond 14 Dec 1820. I believe that Elias did not have a will since they were adminstrators, not executors.

Eventually Martha went to Butler County Ohio where she lived with her daughter, Mary Webster. Martha died 7 Nov 1837 in Monroe Township, Butler County and was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery.

Tomorrow I'll give some of my conclusions about Martha and Elias' children. .
