James Ryder Randall’s childhood 24.170.238.144 (talk) 21:48, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

James Ryder Randall's parentage needs a source or correction.

For the past 51 years, my genealogical research has always shown James Ryder Randall parents as John Killian Randall and Ruth Marie Hooper. This is history, and not subject to change. Unless the person who supplied this article has a creditable source for changing history, and changing my cousin's ancestry, then I ask that this article either be corrected, or removed from Wikipedia.

I just read over the article and I don't see a reference to his parents at all. There is an uncited reference to the origin of his middle name, but that's all I saw. If you have a citable source for his parentage and feel that would be relevant and encyclopedic, by all means add it. Sauzer (talk) 02:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
