| | Homes Of Virginia - Tuckahoe |
 | | Tuckahoe, which we believe to be the earliest frame building of importance still standing to the west of the Falls of Richmond, has been given a widely varying birthday, ranging from 1674 to 1725, according to the temperament and source of information of the particular historian. |
 | | William Randolph the emigrant (1650-1711), grantee from the crown of a large section of Tidewater Virginia, stretching indefinitely westward, parcelled out his domain among his numerous sons, five of whom built important houses or established family lines that have persisted-some through all sorts of varying fortune-to the present day. |
 | | Thomas Randolph, the founder, whether he moved there in 1690 or earlier, certainly died there in the early days of the eighteenth century, and the place descended in the family through his son, William Randolph, his grandson, Thomas Mann Randolph, and his great-grandson, Thomas Mann Randolph II, until it was sold for debt in 1830. |
