The Randall Family

Erie County, Pennsylvania contributed many pioneers to the settlement of the Midwest; among these were Alcy Haanen Randall and her family of 5 sons and 1 daughter. Her husband, Swift Randall, a native of Rhode Island, had been one of the early settlers of Erie County, Pennsylvania. His death had taken place some years before the family's exodus to Wisconsin.
