Hi, My name is Sharon Wick
I am the Creator of Ohio Genealogy Express, however
I have ties in some counties in Indiana and other states.
I have decided to put my research data online for all others
interested
in theses areas to see.
Thanks for visiting.
BRIEF HISTORY
Randolph County was formed in 1818. There is a dispute as to
the origin of the name. Some say that the County was named for
Randolph County, North Carolina where the areas first settlers came
from. That county was named for Peyton Randolph, the first President
of the Continental Congress under the Articles of Confederation.
Another version is that the County was named for
President Thomas Jefferson's first cousin, Thomas Randolph, who was
Attorney General for the Indiana Territory, and who was killed in
the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Randolph was serving as an Acting
Aide-de-Camp in the General Staff.
The other namesake might be Gov. Edmund Randolph of
Virginia, who signed the law transferring the Northwest Territory
from Virginia to the United States, allowing for the formation of
the Indiana Territory. Edmund was the nephew of Peyton Randolph, and
the executor of his estate.
All of the above Randolphs were related, so that one
can safely conclude that the County was named for this important,
early colonial family.
