Graves Family of Caswell County

Hello,
James Randolph(Randel)'s name on petiton list to divide Orange Co, 1774. He buy's land on Country Line Creek, 1777. He may have already been married to his first wife.They had children:James jr, Abraham, Robert, Betsy (Elizabeth).His first wife either divorced him or died, possibly in Caswell Co.In 1781, he married Mary Dye, this marriage and children are well documented.
Some researchers have stated, without proof, his first wife was a Graves, others have said she was a Smelley.I don't believe this is true.
Most likely she died in Caswell Co, but no trace of her death in any of the records have been found.No trace of her name.My husband descends from James's son, Abraham, so I keep trying to find her.
Who is this James Randolph, where did he live before coming to Caswell Co?Some believe he is the son of Alexander Randolph(Randall), 1742 Edgecombe Co, NC.There was a James that surveyed land in Orange Co,1753, and helped build a road from Halifax to Caswell.
James Randolph, son of Alexander Randall, bought land on the south side of the Tar River in Edgecombe near his father, 1759.
From some source(?) I wrote in my notes that Rebecca, sister of Thomas Robertson, married a James Randolph.
So I continue to search for the name of my Caswell Co James Randolph's first wife.
Thanks for you help
Lorene
