New information has come to light, Thanks to Mr. Roger Warren. He has informed me that Randolph also enlisted on July 30,1861 at Livingston, Overton Co.in Company G of the 25th Tn Infantry Regiment (CSA)as a Fifer. Before being discharged in 1862 as over age.
Mr Warren also found some differences on Randolph's description. He wonders as I now do. Randolph is said to be of dark complexion, 6'2" tall and his Yellow (Green) eyes are now dark as is his hair.
