Mary Fitz Randolph was born on April 16, 1828, in New Salem, Virginia (now West Virginia). She was the daughter of Jesse Fitz Randolph (1768-1863) and Elizabeth Gillis (1792-1865). Jesse Fitz Randolph's father, Samuel Fitz Randolph, had purchased the land by Ten Mile Creek in Virginia to which faithful members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Piscataway, New Jersey, relocated and founded the town of New Salem. Samuel Fitz Randolph, a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, was the great grandson of Edward Fitz Randolph (1607-1676) and Elizabeth Blossom (1620-1713), who immigrated from England and Holland, respectively, and married at Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1637. Jesse Fitz Randolph was an active member of the New Salem Seventh Day Baptist Church and is frequently mentioned in "A History of Seventh Day Baptists in West Virginia" by Corlis Fitz Randolph, 1905.
The marriage of Mary Fitz Randolph to Amaziah Flint (1831-1912) is noted in the book "The Descendants of Edward Fitz Randolph and Elizabeth Blossom" by Louise Aymar Christian, 1955. Amaziah Flint was a farmer and resident of Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia). The marriage took place on November 13, 1851, and was officiated by the Reverend Peter Davis of the Seventh Day Baptist Church.
Mary and Amaziah Flint's first child, Joseph Madison Flint, was born September 24, 1852. When complete, the family included the following seven children:
Joseph Madison Flint (1852-1938)
Lloyd Lafayette Flint (1854-1932)
Jesse Randolph Flint (1857-1936)
Nancy Elizabeth Flint (1861-1947)
Tabitha Rosella Flint (1863-1943)
Samuel David Flint (1866-1947)
Flora Virginia Flint (1869-1923)
The 1860 U.S. Census recorded that Mary and Amaziah Flint were living near West Union, Doddridge County, Virginia. Amaziah was noted to be a farmer, and the couple's first three children (Joseph, Lloyd, and Jesse) are listed in the census with their parents.
On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected U.S. President, and on December 20, 1860, South Carolina voted to secede from the United States. By February of 1861, six more states had seceded and the Confederate States of America had been established. Virginia seceded as well in April 1861, but the northwestern counties of the state broke away from Virginia and formed the new state of West Virginia which was formally admitted to the United States on June 20, 1863. Although the Civil War disrupted life in Doddridge County, the Union took control of the area early during the conflict and the county saw no significant battles within its territory.
As did all qualifying men, Mary's husband registered for the draft in 1863. The record of his registration indicates that he was living at Indian Fork in Doddridge County, that he was married and had been born in Harrison County, and that he was a farmer. A record on file at the West Virginia Division of Culture and History indicates that Amaziah served with the 180th Regiment Militia (Doddridge County) West Virginia, with the rank of Private.
The 1870 U.S. Census lists the family's home as New Milton, Doddridge County, West Virginia. Mary's oldest child, Joseph, was 19 years old and working as a farm laborer, while her youngest child, Flora, was less than one year old.
In 1870, members of the Salem Seventh Day Baptist Church expressed a desire to establish a new church on Greenbrier Run in Doddridge County. When this church was organized, Mary and Amaziah Flint were "constituent members" according to "A History of Seventh Day Baptists in West Virginia" referenced previously.
In 1874, Mary and Amaziah's oldest son, Joseph, married Sally Catherine Davis. The marriage was officiated by the Rev. Jacob Davis of the Seventh Day Baptist Church.
Three children were still living with Mary and Amaziah on the farm by the date of the 1880 U.S. Census. Their residence was still located at New MIlton, Doddridge County, West Virginia.
Mary (Randolph) Flint died on April 24, 1899. She was survived by her husband and all of her children, their spouses, and many grandchildren.
Age 70 years 7 months 8 days.
