Abraham married Elizabeth (Chaney) in 1813. Abraham & Elizabeth Randles moved to N.E. quarter of Sec. 5 Township No. 5 (now Roscoe) Coshocton County on December 9, 1816 from Harrison County, Ohio. Official Land Record. The 1881 History states that the nearest neighbors were 8 miles away. This property was on the old Mount Vernon Road which is Jackson County Road 55. In one of the recent books about Roscoe, on page 17, he is named as the pioneer. Abraham afterwards removed to the Killbuck, in the northern part of the county, where he died.

Abraham J.Randles was married to Elizabeth (Chaney) in 1813.They were pioneers in what is presently Roscoe in Coshocton County, Ohio. Salem Cemetery was once entirely in Coshocton County, and now is in both Coshocton & Holmes Counties.This cemetery is situated on the land that once belonged to Noah ( the son of Abraham Sr.)Directions: in Clark, Ohio, take County Road 19 (at light just before gas station, there is only one light in this tiny town) turn right at second road on the right (Twp. Rd. 129) cemetery is about a mile on the right side.
This tombstone was vandalized probably on November 28,1998. The article appears in The Holmes County Hub, (Millersburg, Ohio newspaper) front page on Thursday, December 10, 1998 along with a history of this Cemetery. As of October 2006, the tombstone still has not been repaired and is on the ground! Revolutionary War soldier, John Gwinn,who was the grandfather of Benjamin Caster is buried here
Abraham's age (on the stone)is 64 years 9 months 7 days of age. His daughter, Sarah, who married Benjamin Caster is also buried several rows away here.

The children of Elizabeth (Chaney) and Abraham Randles Sr, are listed on Randles Station.com. Some of whom I have not yet found the gravesites of. I have found no evidence that Abraham was married twice.

From Linda Randles as posted on Findagrave:
Holmes County Census of 1850:
Abraham 58
Sarah 24
Nathan 17
Mary 14
Hannah 12
Mary A. 3
Issac 1/12
It has been said that Abraham was married twice... A very good question here - WHY would any parent name 2 daughters still at home and only eleven years apart MARY???
The 3 year old Mary is obviously NOT Abraham's daughter.
I believe the Census shows from ages etc. that Sarah Castor was the widow of Benjamin Castor who died and was buried in Old Victor Cemetery in Iowa.
Abraham at his death is listed in the Salem Cemetery Interment Book, as the husband of Elizabeth. Why is there no mention made of a 2nd wife Sarah, if there were additional children born to him?
I have been searching newspapers in Holmes County, Oh. and have yet to find an obituary for Abraham Randles Sr. There is a notice in The Holmes County Farmer on March 8th, 1860 that names an Abraham Randle & his wife. (See article at above right)This article does not state Probate or deceased...so this Abraham is a LIVING person.
Thomas,the son of Elizabeth & Abraham who was living in Illinois however did "farm" out his children, because he was widowed and disabled with Rheumatism. The Isaac Randles in Illinois was a son of Thomas.
I do not appreciate the link to "Sarah Castor Randles" this is why we can not find ALL of the needed information.
I still have found no proof of that Abraham Randles was 2nd married to Sarah Castor. Cemetery records state that he was the husband of Elizabeth.

Will:
In Coshcoton County, Ohio a will for Martha Randles, dated Nov 1837 and probated Apr 1838, named her sons Enoch and John Randles as executors. Martha left one dollar to each of "my children", Abraham, Enoch, Isaac, Hannah (Randles) Foster, Axa (Randles) Foster, and Rachel (Randles) Williams. The rest of her estate went to "my younger children" John Randles, Polly (Mary) Randles and Sally (Sarah) Randles. Apparently this Martha is the mother of the four brothers mentioned in the 1831 history (i.e. Abraham,Enoch, Isaac, and John)
