Yes we knew that William was married to Mary Jane Rowe we have the 1856 census we thought they put her name as Massengale because she was under her grandfather. Did you find the 1870 census for William and Mary Jane Randall? If you haven't you can find it in the Templeton Twp. Atchison County, Missouri Series M593 Roll 756 Page 471. They are listed Wm. Randle, Mary J., James H., Jacob, Silas. William's brothers Daniel, Milton, and Milford were all in Brownville, Nebraska ( Nemaha County) Series M 593 Roll 831 Pages 281 and 282 this was from Heritage Quest Online. Louisa wasn't living with any of her sons, Abigail or Amanda she could have been with Phebe we can't find Phebe and her husband Washington Massengale. But on the census after Daniel Randle family their is another family we are wondering if the Lavica is Louisa. If so she would have remarried after her husband John died. We don't know if it is her but we wonder. The last thing we know about Washington and Phebe is that they bought land in Scott City, Missouri ( Atchison County ) right across the bridge from Brownville, Nebraska. They boght the land Sept.1, 1865 and filed it Sept 16,1865 but they didn't finish paying for it. Sometime between then June 29, 1868 it looks like they left. We don't know where they went. But the land was sold and the money was paid to Pharis Millsap it was sold by the Sheriff. The sale was posted in the Acthison County Journal paper for 3 weeks before it was sold. What I don't understand is that Phebe's brother Milford got married Jan. 24, 1869 in North Star which is the same place as Scott City. So if the families were that close why didn't Washington and Phebe come back before the sale. Did they go to California too? Or did they just not care? In the probate records of Mathew Massengale Sr. it said that Washington died in 1871 or 1872.
