WILBUR F. RANDLE was born in Jefferson County, Ill., June 22, 1838.  His
father, Peyton Randle, was born in 1798 in North Carolina, and principally
reared in Montgomery County, Tenn., and was a son of Osborn and Mary
Randle (nee Davidson).  Peyton came in his early manhood to Hopkinsville,
Ky., and was here married to Miss Mary L. Grant, second cousin to Gen. U.
S. Grant.  She was a daughter of Joshua Grant and Henrietta (McNeil)
Grant, and was born in 1808, in Christian County, Ky.  Peyton Randle was
by trade a blacksmith, with which trade he combined general farming.  In
the year 1833, he removed to Jefferson County, Ill., whre he made of
residence of about eleven years, and in which time W. F. Randle was born. 
The family, in 1844, removed to Arkansas, settling in Lawrence County,
where they remained about six years, and where Joshua Grant (then a member
of the family) died in 1845.  From Lawrence County they went to Phillips
County, where the parents spent the remainder of their lives.  The mother,
Mary L., died April 9, 1860, and Peyton Randle on the 13th of March, 1864.
 Wilbur F. was the seventh of a family of eleven children, beside whom but
three are living, viz.:  Angus P., Sarah A. (widow of A. J. Huff), and
Mary C. (widow of C. J. Wilson), all of Hopkinsville.  Wilbur F., through
his boyhood, followed the fortunes of his father's family in Illinois and
Arkansas, and in 1861 entered the Confederate Army, the fortunes of which
he shared through the war, with the exception of one year, during which
time he was disabled.  From the close of the war until 1869, he followed
farming in Arkansas, on the old homestead; then removed to Paducah, Ky.;
thence, in 1870, to Hopkinsville, where he engaged in mercantile business,
at which he is still engaged.  He was married to Miss Mattie, daughter of
Dr. John E. and Rebecca (Hubbard) Park.  Mrs. Randle was born in 1843, in
Georgia, and for several years has had the management of the Union
Telegraph Office of Hopkinsville.  Mr. Randle is a member of the I. O. O.
F. and Knights of Honor.
