Biographical History
Edward Randolph was a royal office holder who spent most of his service in America. He played a role in the revocation of the Massachusetts charter and held several offices within the Dominion of New England. In 1692, Randolph came to Virginia as surveyor-general of customs. He worked tirelessly to shore up the collection of His Majesty's customs. His report on illegal trade in America heavily influenced the Navigation Act of 1696.
Public official of Massachusetts.
Edward Randolph (c. 1732-1703) was appointed English agent to Massachusetts Bay in 1676 to carry instructions requiring the colonial government to send agents to England to answer several complaints. Randolph was also required to write a complete report on the colony, including its administration, commerce, and finances. As a result, he attempted to have the colony's charter annulled and was instrumental in the establishment of the regime of Governor Edmund Andros (1673-1714).
Colonial government official who served as surveyor general of customs, 1692-1697.
