Daniel Fitz Randolph, His Ancestry and Descendents [sic]: An American Branch of the Fitz Randolph Family

Published in 1957, this genealogical volume was compiled by Oris Hugh Fitz Randolph to document the lineage of the Fitz Randolph family in America. The work serves as a record of early colonial ancestry, tracing descendants from the English immigrant Edward Fitz Randolph, who arrived in New England in 1630, down through the branch of Daniel Fitz Randolph. It was created during a mid-twentieth-century resurgence of interest in American genealogy, intended primarily for family members and historical societies aiming to preserve localized ancestry records.

The text is characterized by the academic rigor typical of mid-century ancestral research, focusing on primary source documentation, land records, and vital statistics. By compiling disparate family documents into a cohesive narrative, the author sought to bridge the gap between early pioneer history and the mid-century descendants. While intended as a specialized reference work rather than a commercial publication, it remains a respected citation for researchers studying the migratory patterns and marriage alliances of families in the American colonies and early Republic.
