Bio
RANDOLPH S. MURFF was born Dec. 2, 1784, somewhere in South Carolina. This birth date is from the old Murff family Bible that was located in S.C. Data from the 1880 U. S. census of two sons, Minus H. Murff,and John R. Murff, shows that their father, Randolph S. Murff, was b. in South Carolina. Beginning with 1880, the U. S. Census required that the State in which parents were born be given. It is not known just where in the State of S.C. Randolph was born, and neither is it known who his parents were. A professional genealogist, Mr. Andrea, of Columbia, S.C., tells this writer that his findings concerning Randolph S. Murff were, "That Randolph did live, and at one time he owned land in the St. Matthews-Orangeburg Dist. of S.C., before moving to Laurens Co., S.C. to make his home, and as to who his parents were, and where he came from to the St. Matthews-Orangeburg Dist., he (Mr. Andrea) did not know". Mr. Andrea further states that, "All public buildings and records in this district were burned and destroyed by Gen. Sherman's Army, when this army marched through the South, and for this reason we may never know who the father of Randolph was". BY Paul B. and Evelyn Murff, @ 1955
