This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Randall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DYB.2ACE/35.1 Message Board Post: I am a descendent of a David Randall, supposedly born in NY, moved to Stow, OH and disappeared during the Civil War. My best guess as to his birth is 1800-1810. He married Maria Adams Stow (she was born in Middletown, Middlesex, CT), They had five children: Marguette Elizabeth, Prudence Amelia, William David, Hannah Abiah, Martha Elizabeth. The children were born between 1837 and 1845, probably all in OH (Stow or Brimfield). I descend through William David. My family has generally assumed that the Randalls came to OH through NY from CT. Is it possible that this David Randall, who disappeared during the civil war, is the David Austin Randall of James and Joanna Pemberton Randall? The localities and timing are sure interesting.
