Now, those names which you mention should stick out like a flaming sword when I see them. Your mentioning Randolph Center, can get REAL crazy. A bit of background: the first settlement was in South Randolph which would put you yet again right next to Bethel. There was also a spot called "Painesville" in S Randolph. What is now Randolph Center was once the main part of the whole deal, with the town offices , businesses and manufacturing there and everything. "Uncle" Dudley Chase built what he hoped to be the governor's mansion. West Randolph is now Randolph. It used to be called by some snobs at the Center "Slab City" Then when the railroad came through the valley what is now Randolph village became the main part. Often records were kept in people's houses. To this day papers are coming out of the woodwork of the original houses. Thus Endeth the first Lesson! Will try to absorb all you wrote and see what I can do. And since I am a CENTER girl will see what I can find in that regard. Finally cooled off a bit. Harriet Chase
