The following Randall was indexed as Black. However his DC states he is white as does other info. I have found. 1949 - Death Cert #15889, Edgefield Co, SC Milledge Randall Male, White, Farmer, md to Leila FRANKLIN b. Feb. 10, 1870 Edgefield Co, SC father: John Randall mother: Ann Grice d. Oct 3, 1949, rural Ward, Edgefield Co., SC cause: bronchopneumonia; congestive heart failure; hypertensive cardio-vascular disease. informant: Mrs. Leila F. Randall, Johnston, SC buried: Philippi Baptist Church, Johnston, SC UT: George Funeral Home, Aiken SC. --------------------------------------- Brother JOHN Randall 1936 - Death Cert. #5804, Edgefield Co, SC John Randall Male, White Farmer, md b. Feb. 1870, SC father: Don't know mother: Don't know d. April 12, 1936, Johnston, Edgefield Co, SC cause: influenza; acute dialation of the heart informant: Mrs. Pauline Randall, Johnston, SC RFD buried: Phillipi Church [Edgefield Co, SC] UT: D. M. George, Aiken, SC Now why would they not know his parents when he is buried next to Ann Randall and he appears in the 1880 census with her as her son. The following are buried in nearby plots in Philippi: Randall, Mrs. Ann GRISE [GRICE] 1844 - 1932 Randall, John [H.] Feb 1 1870 - Apr 12 1936 Randall, Milledge ---------- - Oct 3 1949 Randall, Leila FRANKLIN Apr 15 1889 - Nov 6 1980 --------------------------------------------------- PROBLEMS: Note the birth date of John H. Randall as Feb. 1, 1870. So Randall cannot be born that same year on the 10th. as Milledge, so birthdates on DC for Milledge may be wrong, as census records show him younger than John H. But the big problem is that Ann Grice is suppose to have married Seaborn Randall Seaborn is found living with his parents in the Edgefield Dist 1850 census. By 1860 he is living in Lotts PO area, married, his mother-in-law living with him: CENSUS: 1860 Edgefield Dist, SC, Lotts PO, hh# 195/192 Seaborn Randal 21 M Farmer SC Md within the year Ann Randall 16 F SC Md within the year Rebecca Grice 50 F SC The Oct 19, 1919 Confederate Pension Application #3597, Mrs. Annie Randall, widow of Seaborn Randall states that he enlisted in Co. A., 19th Regiment of SCV under Capt. Elijah Horn on the 27th of Nov, 1861 and served until he was killed on Sept 20, 1863. They married in 1859. She had been on the Class 5-3 pension roll. Annie Randall states that she has no property or income and is 80 years old, residing near Johnston, Edgefield Co, SC where she has lived all her life. So.... did she remarry to a John Randall? I found her living with her mother in the 1870 Census: 1870 Edgefield Co, SC, hh#299 Rebecca Grice, 50 F W $100, SC Ann Randal, 25 F W SC Laurence Randal, 9 M W SC Elijah Randall, 3 M W SC [b. 1867 after death of Seaborn???] There may be an infant in the hh too, as there is a Infant Randal mixed up in the next hh in the 1870 Census I have that gives no page numbers, and the sorting is off somewhat. It was Compiled by a group of grad students at the Univ of Illinois for Vernon Burton. Vernon used the information compiled from these three years to compile his statistics for the book "In My Father's House". [I am having computer problems that will not connect me to the internet thru Mozilla Firefox, and to connect to get census records thru Internet Explorer takes forever. Our server has made some changes and messed up a lot of my connections. That is why I do not cite the actual image of 1870. Not only that, but this seems to be the same Ann Randall with a whole new family continued to have children, according to the relationships given in the 1880 census.

I will add her to my list, but it may be a long time till I get down the huge list I have to do. Any Randall researchers out that who can explain who the father of Milledge, John H. and the others listed in the census above might be? I'm not researching the whole Randall family, just trying to prove some connections I have in my file, and this is not making sense based on what I can find. Billie Jones tjones@camden.net
