    <abstract id="aspace_1f05c7e691c56bd26840ecd20a445300">William F. Randolph (1800-61) and some of his children and father's papers. Randolph's father, Johnathan, a Harrison Co. justice of the peace, and his predecessors were prominent farmers near Salem. Randolph, who owned a farm south of Salem on Greenbrier Run, was a surveyor, and later a justice of the peace of early Doddridge Co. Some of the papers concern the estate of Johnathan Randolph and the legal conflict between Isaac Randolph, his son, and other heirs. There are estate papers for William F. Randolph and also for his son, Ezra Randolph. Also included are court settlements in which Randolph was involved (mainly Samuel Bond and Jane Van Horn) and his business papers of the Salem-Harrisville turnpike. There are land, tax, militia, store, church, school, debt and news subscription receipts of William Randolph and his children. Also there are manuscripts developed on the basis of this collection by the donor about the Randolph family and early Doddridge County.</abstract>
