Sacred to the memory
of
COLONEL ISHAM RANDOLPH
of Dungness in Goochland County
Adjutant General of this Colony
He was the third son of William Randolph
and Mary his Wife
The distinguishing qualities of the gentleman
he possessed in the most eminent degree to justice
probity and honour so firmly attached that
no view of secular interest or worldly advantage
no discouraging frowns of fortune could alter
his steady purpose of heart By an easy compliance
and obliging deportment he knew no enemies but
gained many friends thus in his Life meriting in
universal esteem
He died universally lamented Nov. 1742 aged 57
Gentle Reader go and do thou likewise.
