~~NOTOC~~ ====== Origins ====== {{ :randall_rd-martin_georgia.jpg?direct&600|Randall Road, near Martin (Stephens County) Georgia. Just a few miles from the Randall / Mitchell Family cemetery - where [[oney_cypress_randal|Oney Cypress Randal]] is buried.}} You may be surprised to see the title of our genealogy as the “Bull-Randall Family”. This is because the surname of our ancestors was originally “Bull”. Families with the Bull surname have been fraught with surname changes to Buhl, Buell, Boyle, Turnbull, and in our case – Randall. Interestingly, even after [[john_bull|John Bull]] changed our surname (in 1803), different family members have spelled the name as Randal (the original), Randol, Randle and Randall. This was largely because, during the 1700's & 1800s, if a word "sounded" the same, then the spelling was not considered important. \\ Our family originates in Great Britain... with [[Thomas_Bull_Sr|Thomas Bull, Sr]]. The Coat of Arms shown in the upper left corner of this site is NOT necessarily from our ancestral line of “Bulls”. There are several Bull families. The Coat of Arms used was one that I personally found most aesthetically pleasing. For a "quick" overview of the Bull-Randall-Randle family, read {{ :300_yrs_bull_randal_history_aug_25_2011.pdf |"THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF BULL ~ RANDAL ~ RANDLE HISTORY"}} - Revised August 2011 (compiled by Mary Lou Randle Roberts). ====== How To Use This Site ====== ← If a living relative (yourself, parent, grandparent) is listed on the sidebar, click on their link to get started.

Adding the maternal lines would become quite lengthy. However, some maternal lines may be included in this Wiki (linked from the paternal ancestor - or located through the "[[http://bull-randall.com/doku.php?id=start&do=index|Sitemap]]"). There is a great deal of information available elsewhere on the family lines who kept the Bull surname. ===== Help us Research our Genealogy ===== If you would like to help us research our genealogy, several research web sites, as well as membership organizations, are listed at: [[research|Genealogy Research Sites]] ===== Site Owner ===== This site is maintained by: [[richard_clarke_randall|Richard Clarke Randall]] \\ Great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson of [[thomas_bull_sr|Thomas Bull, Sr.]] \\ Great, great, great, great, great, great grandson of [[thomas_bull_jr|Thomas Bull, Jr.]] \\ Great, great, great, great, great grandson of [[john_bull|John Bull Randal]] \\ Great, great, great, great grandson of [[oney_cypress_randal|Oney Cypress Randal]] \\ Great, great, great grandson of [[anderson_smith_randal|Anderson Smith Randal]] \\ Great, great grandson of [[thomas_watson_randall|Thomas Watson (TW) Randall]] \\ Great, grandson of [[henry_beaman_randall|Henry Beaman Randall]] \\ Grandson of [[walter_baxter_randall|Walter Baxter "Dub" Randall]] \\ Son of [[walter_clarke_randall|Walter Clarke Randall]] You may contact me at: \\ [[rrandall@richardrandall.com|rrandall@richardrandall.com]] \\ Cell: (941) 266-3370 ☎ \\ If you would like access to assist in contributing and/or maintaining this site, just contact me for details. ===== Special Thanks ===== Special Thanks to family, friends and the following researchers: \\ * Roger C.
