The county of Randolph was formed out of a part of Guilford because of the large area of the Utter county.

"Judge here 1 am. The legislaure appointed Thomas Owen; John Collins, John Adineal and Jacob Shepperd commissioners to ran the dividing-line between Guilford and Randolph. Abram Tatom, William-Cole, John Hinds, John Collier and William Bell were appointed to fix the site for the court house and jail as near the cen ter of the county as practicable, and to contract for the worX on building, etc.. To pay for the Utter a. tax of two shillings on the hundred pounds value of taxable property Was levied for three years. The county was assigned to Hills bo ro Superior Court and was allowed three jurymen at the court The first court met in March 1779 and elected Abraham Tatom, Clerk; Wil liam Bell, Sheriff; William Cole, land entry-taker; and John Collins, Sur veyor. The general assembly in 1779 added James Martin, John Pesleys and Wil liam Dent to the commissioners to survey the county line. The county was named for John Peyton Randolph, one of Virginia's greatest statesmen, who was Presi dent of the first Continental Congress. I visited his farm which is still owned by his decendants some two years ago. It is one of the most handsome country residences I ever saw, Thom as Jefferson's at Monticello not ex empt, and like the Jefferson farm, with its thousands acres of the most fertil land in Albemarle county. Here I saw a pasta re of five hundred acres of blue grass with 200 two-year-old calves and an adjoining pasture with as many grown cattle. In 1783 the Assembly declared that the commissioners appointed to fix tne place lor the court house had failed to discharge the trust reDoaed in them so a new commission was ap pointed at follews: Abram Hill, James Dougan, Zebedee Wood, Robert Mc Laine and Samuel McLaine. They bought 5 acres of land from Stephen Rigdon and the court house and jail was built thereon. The place was called Randolph court house, and a town was laid oil into streets and was later named Johnstonville in hon or of Samuel Johnston of Edenton, a notable patriot In 1789 Randolph was placed in the Superior Court Dis trict of Salisbury. The U. S. census of 1790 gave the county 7276 inhabitants of whom 1682 were white males over sixteen, under sixteen 1962, free white females 3266, other free persons 24, slaves 452. The name of the county seat was in 1796 changed to Asheboro in honor of Governor Samuel Ashe, who was chief executive from Nov. 19th 1795 to Dec 5th, 1798. Fifty acres of land was bought of Jesse Henley and he . and Phineas Nixon, Samuel Trogdon, Henry Ran seur and Joseph Brown were directed to lay it off as a town with lota for the court house and jail. The second court house was built there in 1836. To uiwent court bouses, was built in 1908. ' ' T- In 17S2 the Revolution was on. The eoutv waa infested, with Tories, led by the daring and. cruel David Fan ning, who commanded a company 'Oi Tories who continually raided the country from Fayette ville to James town up and down ueep nver, ana they were assisted by many citizens on their beat as there' were many Tories In - Randolph. -Chatham and Cumberland counties. ! .The first representative we ever had was CoL Balfour, an ardent Whig LancLajnebU- Patriot. -H came from CQUana.,ni v seraea near uray Cross.

He owned a good portion of the stock in the Cedar Falls Mills. He built the town of Worth ville and built the cotton mill 80 by 250. He later owned the Central Falls mill and built the first knitting mill in Ran dolph at Asheboro. He told me a short time before his death. that he spent ever dollar he ever made (ex cept traveling expenses), in Randolph. He was a great and noble man. He represented our county in the legisla ture one or two , sessions. He also told me that he never took up a poor man but what, when they, left him,' was able to start a business of their own. We cant say too much for such ' men as Dr. Worth. Randolph has had. some as able lawyers as could be found in the state, among them was Wm. Long, S. S. Jackson, M. 3. Robins, B. a. Bulla, J. R. Bulla and Geo. S. Brad-1 shaw. I would like to give the names of all our representatives that have rep resented us in the legislature but failed to get a complete list so I will not mention those I remember but will add that we have sent some as able men as any county in the state and men that Randolph should be proud of. - I Randolph is one of the best coun ties in the state. It is inhabited by . the best Cbxistianpeople in the world: 1 honest, capable, Christian, Uw abid-' ing men and women. , Did you ever , notice that you never see in the pa-, pert accounts, of men killing . their wives or eloping . with. some other . man's wifef or of wives murdering their husbands or eloping with some ' other woman's man. These things prove that our people are of the very , best type and that they are Uw abiding and God serving people. Kandolpn rurnunea as many u not more men in the- war between the states than any1- other coontyi and some as noble, brave officers as ever!
