From MonkeyMom
"Per "Genealogy of a Branch of the Randall Family, 1666-1879", pg. 237

Note 3596--4198. Edward Dudley Randall enlisted in the Confederate service, March 7th, 1802, in Co. A, 21st Regt., Texas Cavalry, for three years or during
the war. This Reg. was commanded by Lieut. Col. D. C. Giddings, afterward a member of the Forty-Fifth U. S. Congress.

In July, 1862, the Brigade in which he served marched to Shreveport, La., and thence to Monroe, La., and to Pine Bluffs, Ark., White River, &c, "and on the 11th Oct., 1862, got into our first fight, " .... "where Col. Giddings and a few others were taken prisoners." "in the spring of 1863 the Reg. went to Missouri, had a fight at Paterson." "From this point the Reg. was in almost daily
skirmishes and fights till we reached Cape Girardeau, and then fell back to Jackson, thence to Ark., closely followed by the U. S. forces." At Taylor Creek and Malony they had a brush, and soon after marched to Little Rock. The
following spring they were in the Red River country, and for many weeks were
fighting Gen. Banks in his Red River expedition. At the close of the war the commander of the Regiment and Company gave Mr. Randall a testimonial for his soldierly conduct and bravery."
