Hi - Patty B. Myers, in her book ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF LEWIS ROSS
FREEMAN..." states, p. 555:

"76. Nathaniel Fitz Randolph...b. Stoney Brook 11 Nov 1703; m. Princeton,
N.J., 20 Oct 1729 Rebekah Mershon, b. near Stoney Brook 10 Mar 1711/2, d/o
Henry and Ann Merson/Marchand....(Nathaniel) was the author of the BOOK OF
RECORDS, now in possession of Princeton University, which gives an account
of the branch of the Fitz Randolph family to which he belonged. Children,
all b. Princeton, N.J., except Sarah:

i. Eunice Fitz Randolph...
ii. Sarah Fitz Randolph...
iii.Ann Fitz Randolph, b. 7 May 1734; m. Princeton, N.J., 15 Mar 1757 Paul
Fitz Randolph...b. Piscataway 1736; d. Mifflin Twp, Cumberland Co, Pa
1806/7..."

Does this help? I know that Patty was diligent in her research; in fact,
she wrote me she spent over 30 years on the book, and often traveled to
various related places for her research. Her book is a real treasure,
including many lines I research. It is at a lot of libraries, and the LDS
in Salt Lake has a copy.

If you want further information, let me know.

Marian


The restof Nathaniel's children are listed, as well as those of Ann and
Paul, with dates.
