4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Martha Gach was the 6th child of 10 of Thomas and Elizabeth (Bloodgood) Gach of Woodbridge, New Jersey, born 29 January 1729/30. The Quaker Meeting record for the birth of Martha Gach includes[1]:
* Name of child: Martha Gach
* Parents: Daughter of Thomas & Mary
* Place of birth: Woodbridge
* Time of birth: 11 Mo 29 1729
* Sex: F
Note that the mother's name is Mary, perhaps by mistake.
Martha Gach married Samuel Randolph in Woodbridge on 20 October 1750, according to a record that says[3]:
"Samuel Fitz Randolph who married Mary Gach, Oct. 20 1750, and said he was the son of Jacob, and Thomas Gach, Martha's father, certified he had his permission".
In this record, Martha's name is listed as Mary.
The New Jersey Marriages record says[2]:
"Gach, Martha, Woodbridge and Samuel Randol, Woodbridge; 1750 Oct 20"
The two known daughters of Samuel F. Randolph and Martha Gach are Tabitha and Mary, who were probably born in the 1752 to 1760 time frame. They were baptized at St. John's Episcopal Church in Elizabeth, NJ on 6 September 1761[4]. That these are the children of Martha Gach (daughter of Thomas Gach) and Samuel Randolph (son of Jacob Fitz Randolph) is indicated by the identities of most of the other people baptized that day in that church. They include:
* Elizabeth and Sarah Eddy, adults.
* Mary, Esther and Jane, daughters of James Eddy (and of Mary (Gach) Eddy);
* Elisha, John and Gage, sons of Elisha Insly (and of Elizabeth (Gach) Inslee);
* Thomas, Martha and Abraham, children of Samuel Grow;
* Susannah and Elizabeth, daughters of Nathaniel Pike (and of Sarah (Gach) Pike);
* Thomas, son of Jacob Shotwell (and of Esther (Gach) Shotwell);
* Elizabeth, Phebe and Thomas, children of John Gage;
* Tabitha and Mary, daughters of Samuel Randolph (and of Martha (Gach) Randolph).
Mary, Elizabeth, John, Sarah, Martha and Esther Gach were all children of Thomas and Elizabeth [Bloodgood) Gach who lived in Woodbridge NJ.
There are no known records for the death, estate or burial of Samuel and Martha (Gach) Randolph.
