RANDOLPH, Charles T.
===========================================================================
Charles T. Randolph, farmer, section 33, Denver Township, was born on the
island of Matinicus (?) in the Atlantic Ocean, Nov. 27, 1818. His parents
were Walter and Joanna (Hall) Randolph; father was born in London, England,
and mother in Maine where they resided until their death. When Charles was
three months old he was brought to the main land, and lived at home, in
Montville, Waldo Co., Me., until he was 14 years old, when his father moved
to Penobscot County. Here he remained until his 21st year, then entered
school. After completing his education he engaged in the lumbering business
on the Penobscot River, remaining until the summer of 1843, when he
returned home and purchased 200 acres of land in the town of Etna, upon
which he built a house. Dec. 17, 1844, he married Miss Elizabeth C. Moore,
daughter of John and Hannah (Chapman) Moore, natives of Maine, who was born
in Edgecomb, Lincoln Co., Maine, Nov. 13, 1818.

Mr. and Mrs. Randolph settled on the new farm, where they lived until 1849,
then moved to Luzerne Co., Pa., where Mr. R. was engaged in lumbering until
1855. They then returned to their former home, where Mrs. Randolph tarried
for one year, and her husband came to Newaygo, this county, and worked in
the mills for a few months. The following year his wife came, and they went
to keeping house in Newaygo. In February, 1860, they moved upon a farm of
80 acres, where he now resides, and which at that time was a dense forest.
Mr. R. has since added 40 acres to his original purchase.

Mr. and Mrs. Randolph have two children: John W. and S. Augusta.
