Biography

Lydia (Dill) Randolph lived in Appalachia, in Alabama.

Lydia (Dill) Randolph was born in 1767 in Kent, Delaware, daughter of John Dill V (1725 - 1809) and Mary Ann (Barrett) Dill (1728 - 1814).

Her siblings were:

  1. Archibald C. Dill (~1748 - ~1838)
  2. Richard Dill (~1751 - ~1839)
  3. Anna (Dill) Mitchell (~1753 - )
  4. Hannah Doty (Dill) Norris (~1755 - ~1809)
  5. Runnels Dill (1757 - 1844)
  6. John Dill VI (~1759 - ~1846)
  7. William S. Dill (~1761 - )
  8. Stephen Dill (1765 - 1837)

Lydia married Abraham Randolph (1761 - 1837) in 1792 in Greenville, South Carolina. Their children were:

  1. John D. Randolph (~1798 - 1870)
  2. James Randolph (1802 - >1870)
  3. Abraham Randolph (1804 - ~1884)
  4. Robert Randolph (1807 - >1880)
  5. Christina Ann (Randolph) Givens (1809 - >1880).

Most of what we know about Lydia Dill comes from the Revolutionary War Pension Application: W11108. We learn her given name of Lydia, her age, that She was the widow of Abraham Randolph. The pension application provides her maiden name, approximate marriage date, and place. Additionally, it provides the names and addresses of her five living children. It also records her death date as the pension wasn't approved until 1854, several years after her death.
