Thomas Mann Randolph Sr.

His second marriage, which resulted in two children, caused a dissention among family members.

Randolph expanded upon the house that began to be built during his parents' short marriage.

Orphaned as a young boy, Randolph continued work on Tuckahoe when he came of age.

[3] Randolph's parents were married in 1736 and her father provided a £2000 sterling dowry that was used to build an "elegant new two-story mansion.

[3] William Randolph stipulated in his will of late 1745 that he wanted his good friend Peter Jefferson and his first cousin and Peter's wife, Jane Randolph Jefferson, to take care of his son and two daughters at Tuckahoe Plantation and provide the children a good education until Thomas Mann Randolph came of age.

[3] Randolph worked on construction of the mansion sometime between 1760 and 1765, perhaps partially funded by a dowry for his wife.

The estate in Chesterfield County, Virginia (14 miles from Richmond, directly across the River from the Randolph-owned Tuckahoe) became a Randolph family hunting lodge.

In 1784 Patrick Henry lived at Salisbury during his second term as Virginia governor (1784 to 1786).
