From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Randall (January 3, 1803 - November 21, 1881) was a U.S. Representative from Maryland.
Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Randall was educated under private tutors. He graduated from St. John's College of Annapolis in 1822, studied law, was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice in Annapolis in 1824.
Randall was elected as a Whig to the Twenty-seventh Congress (March 4, 1841-March 3, 1843), but declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1842. He resumed the practice of law and also engaged in banking at Annapolis. He also served as auditor of the high court of chancery of Maryland from 1844 to 1848; as delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1850; and as Attorney General of Maryland from 1864 to 1868. He died in Annapolis, and is interred in St. Anne's Cemetery.
