Hi Sally,
I have recently made the connection of one of my ancestors as the daughter of Samuel
Randle/Randall/Randol. My ancestor is Sarah (Randal) Moore. She and her sister Abigail
(Randal) Moore married Moore brothers in Hardin County, Ohio. I found Samuel Renals
living in Roundhead Township, Hardin County, Ohio in the 1840 US Census who is the ONLY
Renal/Randal/Randol living at that time there. My Sarah's maiden name of Randal is
found spelled a few different ways in two of her sons' death certificates and also in
her marriage record. It's been spelled as Reynolds, Randles, and Randle. Her sister
Abigail's maiden name has been spelled in some documents as Randol, and Randals. I do
know that Sarah and her sister Abigail lived in Roundhead Township, Hardin, Ohio during
the 1840's and early 1850's. So I'm positive that the "Samuel
Renals" listed on the 1840 US Census is their father. I then found Sarah and
Abigail's marriage records AND the marriage records of three more Rand!
als: Samuel Randall to Polly McClerg, Olive Randal to Robert McClerg, and Eleanor Randal
to John McClerg. ALL of these Randal's were found on a microfilm of all the Hardin
County, Ohio marriages, from 1833 to 1857. These Randal marriages occured from 1841 to
1847. I have digital scans of the originals if anyone is interested, and also the title
of the source, and microfilm number.
Anyway, my ancestor Sarah (Randal) Moore and her sister Abigail (Randal) Moore moved to
North English, Iowa, Iowa with their husbands in the 1850's; while it looks like their
siblings (Samuel, Olive, and Eleanor) all moved to Indiana. Abigail (Randal) Moore stayed
in Iowa the rest of her life with her husband (George Washington Moore), and Sarah
(Randal) Moore, my ancestor, moved to Kansas with her husband (Benjamin B. Moore). Sarah
later died in Clyde, Cloud, Kansas.
I have lots of information on Sarah and also her sister Abigail if anyone is interested.
But yes, as you stated in your posting, Samuel Randal, Sr. and his wife Abigail had more
daughters which are Abigail, Sarah, Olive, and Eleanor. I have found all of these
individuals in US censuses, and some of them are on other people's ancestry trees.
