Furthermore, if we follow the tree of Mary Randolph Keith, we can get to U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. We are NOT blood-related to Mary Randolph Keith – she married Thomas Marshall who is a blood relative. So, we are NOT blood-related to Thomas Jefferson. But, it doesn’t take much traveling through family trees to get from Robert Rankin to Thomas Jefferson.

To do this, we will construct a descendant chart for a man named William Randolph. He is the common ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and our blood relative Chief Justice John Marshall. William Randolph (m. Mary Isham) (1650 – 21 Apr 1711)
