Found a few records that might establish some dates for this family.
There is a death certificate for Brown Grindstaff, son of Sam Grindstaff & Lola Randolph, Aug 17, 1920. I am not sure of first name. Microfilm is fuzzy on this page. Sam & Lola would seem to be married before 1920 but I can't find them in the marriage index.
Death certificate for Lola R. Grindstaff, Aug 20, 1941. Daughter of Cornelius Randolph & Lizzie Felts.
(I am working from the index only, so I don't know birthdates or ages.)
Death certificate for Elizabeth Randolph, daughter of Thomas Felts * Lucinda Hall, Feb. 1, 1953.
Death certificate for Cornelius E. Randolph, son of Sam Randolph & Delia Hensley on Jan 18, 1956. (Again, I cannot be sure of name Hensley).
I find Cornelius and Lizzie Randolph on the 1900 census in Brush Creek. He is 31 and she is 37, they have been married for 10 years and have 4 children. Lola is not on this census, so must have been born after 1900. Also on this census is Kisirah Randolph, 66 listed as mother. Confusing, as does not match death certificate that gave name of mother as Delia.
Does any of this match what you know?
