The following biography of Hugh Randolph was posted at findagrave.com. I am not the author.
From the Book called "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in American Revolution" by Bobby Gilmer Moss.

Also served under Lt. James Craig, Capt. Simmons and Major Goodwin, Colonel Taylor, and General Williamson during the spring of 1778.

Hugh Randolph proved his residence in South Carolina until 1804, had other deeds involving members of the Sandifur family.
Sometime aft. 1805 Hugh and his family moved to Tennessee, near Bedford County. In Tennessee some of the Randolph Children married into the Sheffield (Shuffield) and Milam (MIleham) families. Marriage and death records in Lincoln County, support this. Hugh and his family moved to northern and central Mississippi, as did several of his siblings.
Hugh lived in Carroll County, Mississippi, I don't know when Elizabeth died, but we do know that Elizabeth's brother Aaron Lott and his family lived in Carroll County, Mississippi and that is where Hugh married Mary Hussey after Elizabeth's death. I can find no cemetery record for Elizabeth Randolph in Carroll County Cemetery Book, unless she died elsewhere, and Hugh moved to Carroll County, Mississippi to be near her family.
Alabama Department of Archives and History, Randolph, Hugh, aged 85, resided in Franklin County, June 1, 1840, with David Fuller. Census of Pensioners, 1841, pg. 148.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
