Biography

Son of John Randolph Atwood, Sr. and Elizabeth Betsy Roy

Husband of Mary Polly Allen

NOTE: Several profiles may have become co-mingled as there are numerous references to 2nd and 3rd wives. He is also indicated in some profiles as the husband of Sarah Russell and on others as the husband of Margaret Peggy McCullom. Further research is needed to determine if either of these women became his wife for a time, or if his only wife was Mary Polly Allen.

NOTE: Along these same lines, if there are multiple James Randolph's in the same general area of the same general age, records associated with this person are potentially questionable as they could belong to a different person. Caution should be used when reviewing the source information.
