Randolph was born about 1777. He passed away in 1847.
v. George2, born say 1695, sued William Drinkard in Charles City County in January 1737/8 but failed to prosecute Orders 1737-51, 29]. He was granted a patent for 62 acres on Pease Hill Swamp in Charles City County on 25 July 1741 [Patents 19:1085]. In November 1741 the Charles City County court presented him and George Gibson, Jr., for not going to church. In July 1745 he failed to answer the petition of Phillis Goeing (Gowen) concerning her children, so the court ordered the churchwardens to bind them out. In December 1745 he and Captain Samuel Harwood posted £20 security for his good behavior for a year. In February 1745/6 he, William Witherspoon, and John Atkinson provided a total of £80 security for his good behavior, and he and his son Randolph Gibson and his wife Elizabeth posted bond of £20 each for the good behavior of Randolph and Elizabeth. The court fined him 5 shillings for not going to church in 1746, 1748, 1749, 1755 and 1756 [Orders 1737-51, 185, 196, 371, 383, 391, 392, 394, 417, 474, 499; 1751-7, 194, 298, 419].

Research note Nov. 2022 by Lilly Martin. I am considering this man to be linked back to the above mentioned George Gibson, and you can see the website listed above for his ancestry. I believe, at this point, this particular Gibson line is mixed race, and may be White, Black and Native American, what is also termed as Melungeon. I base this on the fact that this man's descendant moved next door to Amherst Co VA and married into a mixed race family, the descendants of Thomas Evans, who are considered by all history books to be among the founders of the Monacan tribe, which exists there today.
I feel the fact that there was documented in early Colonial Virginia, a man named George Gibson, who had a documented son Randolph Gibson, and they were of a mixed race background, which later married into similar families in Amherst Co VA, may be giving the clues as to their beginning. These are Free People of Color, not slaves.
