<note>Notice that Anderson Smith Randal spelled his name with one “L” in the “Reconstruction Oath Book”. In fact, the vast majority of instances where we see his name, it is spelled as "Randal" (some military records spell his name as "Randle"... but these were probably created by someone other than Anderson). It was Anderson's children who began spelling the surname as "Randall". One could speculate that Sophia Mitchell taught the children how to write and spell... teaching the children to add the "L" because that was how "Mitchell" was spelled (as indicated in the 1870 US Census, both Anderson and Sophia could read and write). However, it was more likely that a school teacher taught the children to add the "L". As we see in the 1870 US Census, the children did attend school. AND the surname is spelled "Randall" in this census.</note> | <note>Notice that Anderson Smith Randal spelled his name with one “L” in the “Reconstruction Oath Book”.
