notes from Richard Skinner:
COSHOCTON COUNTY OHIO - Bureau of Land Management Database shows Abraham aquiring 40 acres of land from the Zanesville office on September 8, 1835.
Abraham Randles was born December 25, 1792 in Loudon County, Virginia. He was the son of Martha & Jonas (James) Randles. Will for Martha Randles is probated April 1838 in Coshocton County.

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Immigration: Abt 1775, Pennsylvania (possibly)
• Other-Begin: 2 Mar 1779, Washington Co, Pennsylvania (formerly Baltimore Co, Maryland)

Notes:

He married Sarah (Mansfield) on November 29, 1787 in Baltimore County, Maryland. A part of Maryland is now Washington County, Pa. The couple came to Harrison County in 1805.
According to the Harrison Co. History, written in the 1880's, Nathan had told that his parents came to America at the beginning of the French and Indian War. (1756-1763)

Note: if this is true, then he is not the son of Richard and Mary Gassaway as many people have him since Richard was not an immigrant, nor was his parents, Charles Cheney Jr & Mary Powell. Internet records are not consistent. Until something comes up more authenticated, I tend to think Nathan might be a dead-end. His marriage record shows him born about 1760; meaning he was possibly also an immigrant.

The Chaneys are rumored to have been Native American and if they were in Jackson Township in 1805, this would be so, as that's the only population there! Interesting fact: Near that time Coshocton was known as the Delaware Indian Capitol of United States.
The Chaney family often traveled back and forth between Harrison County and Coshocton County, as did the Randles & Fivecoat families.
On June 9, 2009, Larry Dean, his wife Sheila and myself proceeded to find the tombstone of Mary. Although, I had found the stone and subsequently the obituary many years previous, I could not find it again. With great joy, Larry spotted it. Mary is his gr gr gr grandmother. We both took a picture of the tombstone. It is very weathered and we could not make out the day she was born!
The will of Issac Randles, Mary's husband, was probated April 4, 1842 in Coshocton County, Ohio.
The named children are:
Nathan
Thomas
Issac
