MATILDA married INABRIT JOSEPHUS on 11 Apr 1838 in Pulaski County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!The Pulaski Co. KY 1860 Census shows James Randolph as 80 years old (Pg 158),
Somerset District. He is listed as a farmer born in North Carolina. His wife is
Jemima, 65 years old.

!There is a marker in the Peyton Randall Cemetery giving homage to him as an
early pioneer and settler og Pulaski County; by his gr-gr-grandsons.
Ironically, this individual is too young to be their James Randolph, but is
probably Peyton Randolph's brother. Peyton and James are more likely, the sons
of James Randolph, Jr., the husband of Matilda MacNear or McNear.

!A photo is on file of the monument to James and Jemima. However, the actual
grave is allegedly on the Denton Sears Farm on Bent Rd. in the old Randolph
Cemetery. It is on the bend before one comes to the Oather Randall Cemetery,
and is under the big tree by the farm gate. James Randolph, Jr. and Matilda
Meakner are believed to be buried there also, with stones labeled "J" and "M".
Mrs. Wanda Cheatham (d/o Denton Sears) said she saw the "Ole man Randolph
tombstone" back in 1955; her dad showed it to her."

!Marie Randolph's information shows James b-1783; d-1860, and that he came from
Caswell Co., NC.

JAMES married EARP JEMIMA (HARP) on 11 Oct 1813 in Caswell County, North Carolina. JEMIMA (daughter of EARP JOSIAH and STRAWN ELLENDER) was born in 1786 in Maryland; died after 1870 in Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky; was buried after 1870 in Bent, Pulaski County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet]
