Robert was the son of Robert J. Randolph and Frances Dyer. He was first married to Vera Schuyler Schermerhorn in Riverdale, Bronx, New York on June 30, 1906. This couple had one child, Robert S. Randolph, and their marriage ended in divorce. His second and last wife was Jessie Harlan Lincoln, granddaugher of Abraham Lincoln. They were married in Washington, D.C. on December 28, 1926. This couple had no children. Many genealogy researchers have erroneously reported Robert's date of death as ocurring in 1985, which would have been rather noteworthy, as he would have been 110 years old, notwithstanding the fact that he was the last husband of Jesssie Harlan Lincoln. The date of death of 1985 is proven wrong by Robert's obituary which appeared in The Washington Post.
