It is Primary Information and Direct Evidence for the name, place and death date, but Secondary Information for the parents names and age.
Nathaniel Fitz Randolph (162-1713) was christened 15 May 1642 in Barnstable, Massachusetts, the son of Edward and Elizabeth (Blossom) Fitz Randolph. He married November 1662 in Barnstable, Massachusetts to Mary Holloway (1641-1703), the daughter of Joseph and Rose (Allen) Holloway). They had seven children, and most of the family moved to Woodbridge, New Jersey in about 1678 because of persecution in Barnstable because of his Quaker faith.
Nathaniel and Mary (Holloway) Fitz Randolph are my 8th great-grandparents, through their son Samuel Fitz Randolph (1668-1754), who married 1693 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Mary Jones (1672-1760).
