Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph (4121 words)
Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph was born on October 26, 1834, at Edgehill, Albemarle County, Virginia, the eleventh child of Thomas Jefferson Randolph (1792-1875) and Jane Hollins Nicholas (1798-1871) and a great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson.
Randolph 's contributions to society as a field surgeon, a hospital administrator and surgeon, and as a family physician were matched by those to education.
Randolph's sister, Carry, always close to him in spirit, and who presided at Edgehill, simplified her brother's finances to facilitate his anticipated second marriage; she gave him a house and lot on the southeast corner of Jefferson and North 2nd Street in Charlottesville, known as the Wyatt, or Poindexter, lot.
