| | - Flossie Mae Randall (Jan. 28, 1890 - March 26, 1973)((https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=133583618)). On Jan. 20, 1910, she married Reese Richard Bird (Aug. 10, 1881 - Sept. 1, 1972)((https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=133583583)), son of Francis Marion Bird (1846-1924)((https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=133577935)) and Catherine Brown Sorrells-Bird (1853-1934).((https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=133577992)) |

| | During 1894, Roland Pickney Randall (age 28) married Eugenia “Genie” Bishop (age 20).((http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gafrankl/marriages/wgroomr.html)) (("Pedigree Resource File," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3SVP-WVZ : accessed 2015-01-24), entry for Eugenia Fields Bishop /Randal/.)) ((http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=87271622)) Eugenia “Genie” Bishop was born in Spartanburg (Cherokee County), SC, the daughter of [[Henry Willis Bishop|Henry Willis Bishop]] & Mary "Polly" Fields-Bishop. |
| | |
| | According to descendants Wm. Robt. Randall, Sr. & Jr., Eugenia was the 2nd wife of Roland Pinckney Randall.(("Pedigree Resource File," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3SVP-WVZ : accessed 2015-01-24), entry for Eugenia F. Bishop /Randal/.)) They are believed to have had the following children: |
| | - [[Artry Otis Randall|Artry Otis Randall]] (March 20, 1895 - July 23, 1980) |
| | - Boyd Semen Randall (Oct. 3, 1898 - Nov. 1968) |
| | - [[Elzora Eugenia Randall|Elzora Eugenia Randall]] (March 19, 1901 in Ila (Madison County), GA - June 27, 1988 in Atlanta, GA). |
| | - [[comer_henry_randall_sr|Comer Henry Randall, Sr.]] (Oct. 17, 1903 - July, 1974) Comer's middle name, Henry, was likely in tribute to Eugenia's father, Henry Bishop. |
| | - Mattie Grace Randall (Aug. 8, 1906 - April 8, 1927). She is "believed" to have "married" Shaffer Judson Skelton (June 19, 1904 - Dec. 29, 1972); son of L. Snow Skelton & Winnie Skelton (born in South Carolina, but living in Hart County, Georgia at the time of the 1920 U.S. Census).((http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gss=angs-g&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=Roland+Randall&gsfn_x=NP_NN&gsln=Skelton&gsln_x=1&mswpn__ftp=Hart+County%2c+Georgia%2c+USA&mswpn=1321&mswpn_PInfo=7-|0|1652393|0|2|3245|13|0|1321|0|0|&MSAV=1&msbdy=1927&cpxt=1&cp=12&catbucket=rstp&uidh=u77&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=41248096&recoff=4+5+6+17+18+56&db=Numident&indiv=1&ml_rpos=1))((http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=gadeath&h=1826064&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&rhSource=2469))((http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=gadeath&h=287023&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&rhSource=2562))((http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=25792110)) They had one son: |

| | Note: The census indicates that Roland and Genie had been married for 6 years; and that Genie was the mother of 2 living children, suggesting that daughters Eva & Flossie were from her previous marriage (otherwise, "Genie" would have had Eva when she was 14 years old and Flossie when she was 16 years old). This is supported by descendants Wm. Robt. Randall, Sr. & Jr., who stated that Eugenia was the 2nd wife of Roland Pinckney Randall. |

| | It is curious that Mattie Grace Randall-Skelton's husband, Shaffer Judson Skelton, was not listed on her "Death Certificate". Nor was her married name of "Skelton" included on her tombstone (in fact, she "may" have had her son out of wedlock). Adding to these curious circumstances, Her son, Roland Randall Skelton, was taken in and raised by his grandmother, Eugenia Randall. |
