    John is described as the eldest son and Thomas as the youngest son, both as children of Robert Randall's first wife.

    'By [his first wife, Mary] Robert Randall had: ...
    Thomas, b. probably at Weymouth bet. 1630 and 1640; d. June 11, 1711, in Taunton North Purchase.'

    NOTE: What was the Taunton North Purchase is now partly in Easton, partly in Norton and partly in Mansfield.

    'Order that since Mrs. Hannah Randall, widow of THOMAS RANDALL of Taun. North Purchase, through infirmity of old age, could not appear, & since Thomas Randall, eldest son, refused adm., that therefore Adm. be granted to Israel Randall, 2nd son of dcd., dtd. 6 Oct. 1712 [3:97].'
    'Inv. of Est. of THOMAS READ, Sr., of Taun. who died 11 June 1711 pres. 7 Jan. 1712/3 by Isreal Randall of Taun. No. Purchase, Adm. ... [3:129].

    It appears that Chaffin treated the record cited as [3:129] as belonging to Thomas Randall, Sr. Given the record cited as [3:97], this seems reasonable, and it is likely that the name was transcribed incorrectly in the book of abstracts.

    'The Weymouth Town Records are cited as authority by Louis Stoughton Drake, and by William L. Chaffin, author of A Biographical History of Robert Randall (1909), for the supposed marriage of Joane Drake to Thomas Randall ... Weymouth Vital Records (1910), a compilation of the Town Records, does not show such a marriage; neither is there record of the birth of a son, Thomas Randall, on Mar. 12, 1659, in this volume.
    Without documentary evidence to support the contention, it is extremely doubtful then, that a Joane Drake was in Weymouth, Mass. between 1654 and 1671, or that Thomas Randall ever had a wife named Joane, who can be proved to be a sister of Thomas Drake.'
