Note on Wife: Mary FITZ RANDOLPH - shared note
from Descendants of Edward Fitz Randolph, 1950, pp. 20-21.
46. MARY4 FITZ RANDOLPH (16), born May 24, 1710 at Woodbridge, N.J.; married first in 1728/29, WILLIAM THORNE, born 5 mo. 15, 1706 at Flushing, N.Y.; son of Joseph and martha Johanna (Bowne) Thorne. The first intentions were published in the Rahway and Plainfield Meeting in 12 mo. 1728/29; and the second intentions 1 mo. 20, 1728/9. William Thorne died in 1735, and administration on his estate was granted to Mary and here eldest brother, Richard4 Fitz Randolph (No. 44) on May 20, 1735. Soon after she seems to have married second, a cousin whose surname was Fitz Randolph, but it has not been determined whom she married. This might have been JOSEPH4 FITZ RANDOLPH (No. 41). On March 16, 1744, Mary, listed as "Mary Fitzpatrick, Spinster," married for her third husband, MARMADUKE HORSEMAN, who must have been in his eigties. His will, dated Feb. 25, 1748/49, mentions his wife Mary. As Mary Horseman, Mary married for her fourth husband, license dated May 26, 1749, JAMES JACKSON, b. June 4, 1704. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Mary on Nov. 6, 1750. It seems most probable that Mary married a fifth time, and again to a cousin, JACOB4 FITZ RANDOLPH (No. 42), as on 7 mo. 18, 1764, "Mary Fitz Randolph is disowned for marriage to her first cousin." In his will, dated may 12, 1779, Jacob mentions his wife Mary.
Mary is mentioned several times in wills. Her brother Hugh4 Fitz Randolph (No. 16:ix) mentioned her in his will of 4 mo. 23, 1748, her portion to go to her children. In the will of her brother Edward (No. 45) is mentioned his "nephew, Edward Thorne, son of my sister Mary Jackson." And the will of her father, Edward3 Fitz Randolph (No. 16), dated Sept. 4, 1759, mentions his daughter Mary Jackson and her eight children.
