I was looking at your James Richard Randolph ancestor and the link to the Smalley family and wondering if there could be any link back to the Fitz Randolphs in New Jersey who were linked to the Smalley family there. Do you know if there is any evidence of a link between your branch and the Fitz Randolphs, whether through conventional genealogy or dna? I do note that I found one autosomal match between my father and one of dna tests listed on James's profile. Or is there pretty convincing evidence of being linked to the other Virginia Randolph families? Have you considered doing a ydna test? Oh, and to add, you also match my father for a 19.3cM segment on chr 21, but that is more likely due to several Davis, Maxson, Bee links we have from your family's West Virginia days

Regarding my DNA, in Sep 2022, I upgraded my Y-111 test (Nov. 2019 - M-253) to the Big 700 test which resulted narrowing my Haplogroup to to Haplo I-A20024.
Also, my 2nd Cousin Robert Davis, Y DNA test (I P-37) was upgraded in late 2023 to the Big Y 700 which narrowed the Haplo-Group to I-FT112213.
