Born into a wealthy Virginia family, when his father was appointed to be a federal judge in the lower Mississippi River valley in 1823, Randolph moved with his parents to the then-remote Natchez District of the Mississippi Territory. Randolph may have worked as a slave trader to supplement his income as a cotton plantation owner. In the 1840s he moved across the Mississippi River to Louisiana where he entered the sugar business, eventually assembling an expensive sugar works and owning a large area of land in Iberville Parish. His four contiguous plantations were called Nottoway, Blythewood, Forest Home, and Bayou Goula. Most of the land was devoted to sugarcane cultivated by an enslaved labor force but the fields were interspersed with timberland and cypress swamp. Randolph became quite wealthy by the 1850s and commissioned a large, storybook mansion house at Nottoway. ; Letters, stories, and diary entries from her life in Louisiana before the Civil War ; Origin of the pseudonym: "Ailenroc" is her first name spelled backward, and "M. R." are the initials of her married and maiden names, Murrell and Randolph, respectively ; she married Dr. David Gamble Murrell, nicknamed The Young Corporal, who was also a sculptor of note ; Cornelia Randolph Murrell is buried in Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans, Louisiana ; "Although the story opens with a description of the brilliant court of the Second Empire, the principal incidents occur in the White Castle, Louisiana, notably the romantic love affair which runs through two generations. The Empress Eugenie, Napoleon, the Audubons and other celebrated characters are introduced with scenes of slave life which happened before the Civil War. Most of the events, however, occur in war times." -- Publisher's Weekly, Jan 23, 1904; FINE. Book.
