Thomas Bull, Jr. (between age 33-35) married Sarah Randal. Almost nothing is known about Sarah Randal. | Thomas Bull, Jr. (between age 33-35) married Sarah Randal. Almost nothing is known about Sarah Randal, but some believe that she was born in North Carolina during 1744 (which would have made her 18 years younger than Thomas Bull, Jr.). Some have speculated that she died in 1840 (which would have made her 96 years old at her death). But, this is all speculation (which is highly "suspect" because there were many women named Sarah Randal living during the same time and many in the same region). |

<note tip>Sara(h) Randal(l) is an important figure in the Bull-Randall family genealogy. Whether she spelled "Sarah" with an "h" or "Randal" with one "L" or two is unimportant because at that time if a word sounded the same, then the spelling was considered "good enough" (as many people couldn't even write their name). Also, almost all of the Randal/Randol/Randle family lines living in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia at that time had ties to the Randolph family... and were referred to as Randolph or Randal during Colonial times (the names were often used interchangeably). So it is also possible that her name was actually Sarah Randolph. \\ | <note tip>Sara(h) Randal(l) is an important figure in the Bull-Randall family genealogy.
