Everything about John Randolph Williamsburg totally explained
John Randolph (
1727–
January 31,
1784) was an
American lawyer in colonial
Williamsburg, Virginia. He served as king's attorney for the
Province of Virginia from
1766 until the
American Revolution. He was also a somewhat reluctant examiner on the board that granted famous American patriot
Patrick Henry his licence to practice law in the state of Virginia.
Randolph at first attempted to reconcile the rebelling
Burgesses with the Royal
Governor Dunmore, but when revolution became inevitable he left for
Scotland with Lord Dunmore. He believed that to remain during the revolution would conflict with his oath of office, but was sympathetic with its cause.
When Randolph died in
London in 1784, his last request was to be buried in America. His remains were returned and he's interred in the chapel at the
College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. His son,
Edmund Randolph became Governor of
Virginia and Attorney General of the United States.
