Jack, I found this and it may interest you. Amelia LAMAR, sister of Judge L.Q. C. LAMAR married John S. RANDLE (1804-1850) of Hancock County, GA in 1827 in Putnam County, GA. John was the son of John RANDLE and Susannah COFFEE of Hancock County, GA. Susannah was the sister of Elizabeth COFFEE who married Charles DANIEL...... Now, do you not believe they were not connected? Just so you will know, I am still digging like a dog after a bone, because I smell paydirt, here....... John R.
