John B. Randall

Son of Anderson Smith Randal and Sophia Mitchell, John B. Randall was born on Nov. 24, 1871, in Franklin County, Georgia.

While some have speculated that the middle initial stood for “Bull”, there is NO evidence what-so-ever to support this. In fact, it is more likely that the “B.” stood for Burrell; to honor one of Sophia's brothers, Burrell Mitchell. Even in Anderson Smith Randal's “Will”, he is listed as “John B. Randal”.

John B. Randall was only 4 years old when his father, Anderson Smith Randal, died on December 1, 1875 (at age 42).1)

John B. Randall appears on the 1880 U.S. Federal Census (at age 8) living with his mother (Sophia) and siblings.

[1880 U.S. Federal Census. Sophia Randal appears on line 34.]

Most of the original 1890 U.S. Federal Census records were destroyed or badly damaged by a fire in the Commerce Department in 1921. Records enumerating only 6,160 individuals—less than one percent of the schedules—survived. Those for the Randal family were destroyed.

John B. Randall died on March 20, 1894 (at age 22). He is buried at Shoal Creek Baptist Church Cemetery (Hart County), Georgia.2)
