Beverley Randolph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beverley Randolph (September 11, 1755– February 1797) was an American politician from Virginia. He served as governor of Virginia from 1788 to 1791.

Beverley was born to Peter and Lucy (Bolling) Randolph at Turkey Island in Henrico County and educated at William and Mary. (Turkey Island is both an island in the James River and the name of the Randolph family plantation.) He married Martha Cocke in 1775.

Beverley served in the militia during the Revolutionary War, was a member of the Virginia Assembly and was a member of the state's House of Delegates from 1777 to 1780. He was elected Governor in 1788, the first to be elected after Virginia became a state. He died on his farm near Green Creek in Cumberland County and is buried in the Westview Cemetery in nearby Farmville, Virginia.
