CHARLES T. RANDOLPH, farmer, section 33, Denver Township, was born on the 
island of Martinicus(?) 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 mainland, 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 Aetna, 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.  Then they 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 followin gyear 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.
