The Basil Lucas family moved to Nacogdoches county, probably by 1852, as
it is believed that Elizabeth married E W Randolph in that county.

September 1868, Calaveras County, California. She married (1) E. W.
Randolph, 1853, (2) Jeremiah M. Posey, 28 January 1855, Nacogdoches
County, Texas. One child was by the first marriage, the rest by
the second. Elijah William Randolph was married four times, the
first in Jackson Co GA in 1846, the second to Elizabeth in 1853 in
Texas, the third in 1857 and the fourth in 1867. According to web
pages on Ancestry, he was born 1825, Jackson County, Georgia, died
1900, Victoria Co, TX. His father was Wood Lee Randolph. He left a
son born in 1850 in Georgia to his first wife and traveled to Texas,
being on the agricultural census in Burleson Co TX in 1850, in
Wharton Co in 1860, and in Caldwell Co in 1870. He is also on the
1860 census of Wharton Co and the 1870 census of Caldwell Co.
