"U.S. Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1994, Rahway and Plainfield [N.J.] Monthly Meeting, Register of Marriages, Births, and Deaths, 1687-1871, , Deaths, page 190, Samuel Fitz Randolph death record; indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 21 August 2014).
Samuel Fitz Randolph (1668-1754) was born in Barnstable County, Massachusetts to Nathaniel and Mary (Holloway) Fitz Randolph. He married Mary Jones (8 June 1693 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and they had 9 children in Woodbridge, New Jersey. According to this record, Samuel Fitz Randolph died the 6th month (June?) 25, 1754 in Woodbridge. In 1754, was the 6th month June or August? I don't know. Before 1752, it would certainly be August. Did the Quakers adopt the Gregorian calendar before 1754?
Samuel and Mary (Jones) Fitz Randolph are my 7th great-grandparents, through their son Jacob Fitz Randolph (1706-1779), who married (1) FNU LNU (about 1710-before 1764) before 1730, and (2) Mary (Fitz Randolph) (Thorne) (Fitz Randolph) (Horseman) Jackson in about 1764. I am descended through the spouse with no known name.
