Randall Nash served the Union in the Civil War as Randall Talbot. He was a former slave and for a variety of reasons, often having to with their former ownership, slaves often changed their names when entering military service or afterwards. Actually legally Randall was a slave when he enlisted, the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to states belonging to the Union and Randall enlisted in Missouri on Jan 28, 1864 in the 4th Regiment Colored Infantry of Missouri Volunteers which became the 6th U. S. Colored Infantry. He was discharged at the end of his term of service on Feb. 5, 1866.
AS a civilian he assumed the name of Randall Nash and his widow was Mary Nash. He received a Civil War Pension, certificate # 831,223 (applied from Kansas) and his widow received his pension following his death, cert.# 476,266, also applied for from KS. The tintype image on this memorial was found in his pension file as it was used to identify Randall Nash as one and the same person as Randall Talbot.
