JOSEPH RANDALL (1756-1836) was a pioneer settler of Vermont, a member of the Green Mountain Boys under Colonel Seth Warner, and served in the American Revolution at Crown Point, Montreal and Quebec. He later served many years as a Justice of the Peace.

In 1776, Joseph Randall served in Colonel Seth Warner\'s Regiment with the American Army.That February, the company marched to Quebec to help General Benedict Arnold.He was at the taking of Crown Point under Colonel Warner; and also at the taking of Montreal.It was late in the fall when St. John\'s and Montreal were entered by the American troops - in the year 1775.The Green Mountain Boys along with some New York troops, were stationed at the above Quebec till some time in May 1776, when the British ships arrived at Quebec.Some of the American troops were stationed at the same time on the island of Orleans below Quebec.When the ships arrived they retreated; all that could get away.Some of the sick were left who could not get away - a good many had small pox and died along the trail.

The Americans retreated up the river to Montreal.They remained a short time at Montreal and the under two different engagements, one immediately succeeding the other, terminating in the late fall of 1775.In January 1776; he went to Quebec with Col. Warner.The regiment did not all go from Montreal at the same time, but went in detatched portions at different times.The troops embarked at Ticonderoga and went down Lake Champlain by water & down the river Surrell (?) to St. Johns under the command of General Montgomery.They all landed on a point above St. Johns, and the next day Colonel Warners regiment went across the woods and took their station on the river a little below St. Johns.General Montgomery accompanied them to this station & then went back to the point above St. Johns, as he understood.Here they remained about three weeks and then Warners regiment regiment went to Longueuil and there remained until St. Johns had surrendered & then they entered Montreal,the enemy having left it on hearing the news of the surrender of St. Johns.
