Richard Jane Randolph

The 13-foot obelisk of imported sandstone is seen now only by an occasional hunter hiking through the dense woods surrounding it. Erected in 1771 by a grateful son in memory of his parents, Richard and Jane Randolph, it also bears an inscription commemorating the "Calamitous Flood of 1771." The "grateful son" was Ryland Randolph, who died in 1785. It is called "the Randolph Monument"or "the Flood Monument".
