Tuckahoe was built by Thomas Randolph (1683-1729) and passed from him to his son William Randolph (d. 1745), to William's son Thomas Mann Randolph I (1741-1795), and finally to Thomas Mann Randolph III ([1792-1848], son of T. M. Randolph I by his second wife, Gabriella (Harvie) Randolph Brockenbrough. Thomas Mann Randolph III sold one half of "Upper Tuckahoe" to Hezekiah L. Wight of Massachusetts and his son Edwin L. Wight of Richmond. Edwin's widow Margaret N. Wight sold the property to Joseph Allen in 1850.
