The fact that Mrs. Randolph,s death did not
occasion more comment in the public press of
the day must not necessarily be regarded as
indicating she was a person of no prominence,
beyond her own family and friends The news
papers OF hundred years ago were small and
quaint journals compared with the great papers
Of today. They had no far-flung facilities for
gatherings news, and no great printing presses
to turn out thousands of papers in an hour.
These century-old newspapers seldom consisted
Of more than four or six small pages and ap-
parently contained few If any local news items.
The front page was generally given over to
quantity worded personal advertisements, while
most OF the news columns were devoted to
tivities In the halls of Congress the previous
day. In 1928, women's place was regarded
being quietly in the home far more than it is
today. irrespective Of whether for better or for
worse.
But what of Ampthin, where this most
estimable but now mysterious Mrs. Mary
Randolph was born on August 9, 1852, and
where she probably spent her childhood? For
tunately, we know something about Ampthill,
near Richmond" Z. Paul Wilstach, the his
torian, tells us In his latest and most delight
fully interesting book, '"Tidewater Virginia"
that Ampthin was the seat of the Virginia
Cary family and was built by Henry Cary in
1882 the year in which George Washington
was born at Wakefield, in Westmoreland
County, on the Potomac. He says that Henry
Cary superintended also the building of the
State House and governors palace in old Will
liamsburg, capital Of the colony, and the re-
building Of William and Mary College after its
destruction by fire. And so, being prominent
and probably rich landed proprietor of his day
and generation, his colonial home of Ampthill,
Evening star., 1929-12-15

on the James River, just below the present
city OF Richmond, must have been perhaps an
other grand and beautiful homestead among a
great many such scattered here and there
throughout T1dewater Virginia. Wilstach goes
on to say about the Cary family
His son, Archibald Cary, who from his
force and determination was known as old
Iron of Ampthill, added particular luster
TO his family and to his State by his service
as chairman Of the committee of the Vir-
ginia convention of 1776 which directed the
Virginia members sitting in the Continental
Congress to agitate and vote for entire inde-
pendence of Great Britain"
Across the James River, almost directly oppo-
site AmPthill, was Wilton, the Colonial home
stead of the William Randolphs The Randolphs
were prominent and prolific Virginia family,
excepting John Randolph of Roanoke, who was
prominent enough but certainly not prolific; a
fact which has been aScribed by some for all the
bitterness OF his stormy, disappointed life.
to solve the mystery about the further iden-
tity Of Mary Randolph? She married Ran
6olph; she was born at Ampthill, across the
historic old James River from Wilton, the seat
OF one branch Of that famous family. Having
been born in 1862, If we add 19 years to that
date, endeavoring to guess at about the probable
time of her marriage, we arrive at 1781 and on
october 19 of that year George Washington
received the surrender of Lord CORVALLIS at
Yorktown, only few miles from Ampthill on
the James. Who knows but what Mary RAN
dolph met and knew Washington, Lafayette and
many other military and naval celebrities dur
ing those stirring days Of the crowning achieve
