====== Elizabeth M. Randal ======

Daughter of [[oney_cypress_randal|Oney Cypress Randal]] and Susannah (her full name may be “Susannah W. Wilkins”), Elizabeth M. Randal is believed to have been born on January 28, 1818, in Franklin Co., Georgia.

On Oct. 20, 1844, Elizabeth Randal (age 26) married her brother-in-law, [[William Green Smith|William Green Smith]]((http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92949699)) in Franklin, County, GA.((http://genealogytrails.com/geo/franklin/marriages1843-1848.html))

Interestingly, because her sister [[eliza_b_randal|Eliza B. Randal]] had married William G. Smith's brother, John R. Smith, this has caused considerable confusion among genealogists as some have misinterpreted "Eliza" as a shortened version of "Elizabeth"... since both women have the same married name of "Smith".

Elizabeth and William Green Smith are believed to have had the following children:
  - John H.
  - Mary E. Smith (May 20, 1840 - July 15, 1857)((http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92911438))
  - William Oney Smith (July 30, 1845 - Dec. 24, 1917) ((http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92911561))
