The Randolph genealogy exhibits some curious re- sults, as in the case of Dr. Robert C. Randolph of Haymarket, Clarke county, Va. He is a lineal de- scendant, through his father, of Isham of " Dungen- ness," 3d son, and also of Richard of "Curles," aili son; and through his mother, of Sir John, 5th son of Wm. of "Turkey Island." His wife is also a direct descendant of Edward, the 7th son; and their dou. Susan, married Win. Eston, great-grandson of Thomas

SKIPWITH.

He m. Adeliza, dau. of John, Count de Beaumont. His son Robert ac- quired a great estate by his wife, Emberga, dau. of Hugh Fitz Balderic, a Saxon Thane. His son, Pat- rick, having by gift of his father the Lordship of Skip- with, his descendants took their name therefrom, ac- cording to the custom of the age. He m. Beatrix. dau. and heiress of Sir Pagan de Langtan. Sir Wm. de Skipwith (tempus I Henry III) was the last of the family who lived at Skipwith. He was succeeded by Sir John, whose son, Sir William. m. a dau. of the Lord Ormsby, whose son, Sir William, was the great lawyer, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in England 1360, and Chief Justice of Ireland 1365.

*He is buried at "Greencroft," on the Appomattox riv.i. His tombstone is now in fragments, which, however, being gathered from divers points at which they had been utilized in vary as ways, was deciphered as follows: " Here lyeth the body of Willatt .. Sept. with, Baronet, who deceased the 25th of Feb'y 1764, ag-1 56 years. Hle descended from Sir Henry Skipwith, of Prestwould, in Lice,- tershire, created Baronet by King James the First, was honoured with King Charles First's commision for mining men against the usurping powers, and poved loyal to h .. King, w the he was de- prive of his estre by the Carper, which occasionea bis and his sons' death, except Sir Curry Ski with, grandfather of the above said Sir William Skipwith, who was obliged to come to M'a mala for refuge, where the family hath since co: unued."
There seems to be an error in the epitu h, as Sir Henry ship- with's estate was not confiscated, but was voluntarily sold by him. Ile was only subjected to a fine.

WALKER.
According to tradition, the ancestors of the Walker family, of Dinwiddie county, was Robert Waiker of "Kingston," who emigrated from Scotland to Virginia with two brothers, who settled respectively in Bruns- wick and Albemarle counties some time prior to the Revolutionary War. We, however, are under the impression that the advent of the founder of the family would date properly from about the middle of the seventeenth century, at which period grants to the name appear in our Virginia Land Registry Office. and a little later Licat. Colonel Thomas Walker was promi- nent in our State annals. We leave this to the investi- gation of the critical and the immediately interested, presenting the origin as furnished ns :

Ile came to Virginia in 1745 to take possession of an inheritance of lands in Fairfax county. These were sold to Law- rence Washington.
