Roanoke Plantation
Nine miles west is Roanoke, home of John Randolph, a member of the House of Representatives for many years, and Senator. Randolph at first was Jefferson's lieutenant and later on an opponent and critic, but he never lost the love of his constituents. He died in Philadelphia, May 24, 1833, and was buried here; later his remains were removed to Richmond.
Marker is on Barnesville Highway (U.S. 15) 0.3 miles north of Jackson-Vaughan Road (County Route 607), on the right when traveling south.
