   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Randolph, John (1773–1833)

US politician. He was for many years an outspoken member of the House of Representatives, and was in the Senate 1825–27. In 1826 he fought a duel with the politician Henry Clay, but later they became friends. Randolph's wit became proverbial. He was opposed to slavery, and freed his own slaves by his will.
