Archibald Cary ( Old Iron) of Ampthill. In compliance with which collllmission, I present it to my grandson, Robert Isham Randolph, now an infant of months. (signed) Robert Carter Randolph, :M:. D., of New Market, Clarke County, Virginia, November 13, 1883." Having been thus inoculated with the genealogical virus before I was a year old and having lived all of my life apart from my father's people, I have always been interested in the ramifications of the tribe and have been engaged for a good ;many years in cataloguing and indexing them for identification in my own mirid. For this purpose I have used a genealogical data sheet published by the Lefax Company of Philadelphia and ordinary three by five inch file cards for an alphabetical-index. For the purpose of indexing the data sheets, I adopted a numerical system which I thought I had invented or adapted from the Dewey Decimal System of indexing in common use in all reference libraries. Later, I found a manuscript copy of a genealogy of the family of Sir John Randolph, compiled by Col.

  • Wednesday, March 7, 2012 -1396- JOURNAL of the SENATE
    Wednesday, March 7, 2012 -1396- JOURNAL OF THE SENATE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 The Senate met at 11:00 a.m. and was called to order by Lieutenant Governor William T. Bolling. The Reverend Dr. A. Lincoln James, Jr., Trinity Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, offered the following prayer: Eternal God, our Father, with whom we live and move and have our being, we beseech Thee this morning that the power of Your presence might emit through the hallowed halls of this chamber. Grant these legislators purity of heart and strength of purpose so that no selfish passion may hinder them from doing what is right and noble. Give them in the discharge of their duty, the constant awareness that they must always remember the plight of the least, the last, and the unlovely of our Commonwealth. Grant now these men and women who have been elevated to high positions of public trust, give them a vision of a better Virginia and a stronger Commonwealth, so that all of Virginia citizens may live under the power of God and the understanding of our collective humanity. Finally Father, touch our hearts, search our conscience, and cast out of us every evil thought and base desire that we may be about Thy perfect will. We ask these things in the name of our Creator and the Sustainer of the universe. Amen. The roll was called and the following Senators answered to their names: Barker, Black, Blevins, Colgan, Deeds, Ebbin, Edwards, Favola, Garrett, Hanger, Herring, Howell, Locke, Lucas, Marsden, Marsh, Martin, McDougle, McEachin, McWaters, Miller, J.C., Miller, Y.B., Newman, Norment, Northam, Petersen, Puckett, Puller, Reeves, Ruff, Saslaw, Smith, Stanley, Stosch, Stuart, Vogel, Wagner, Watkins.
