If so please let me know using the contact me at the top right of every page and I’ll help get you started on the process. Randolph County was organized in 1795 out of a part of St. Clair County. It was named in honor of Edmund Randolph, Governor of Virginia. The Northwest Territory was captured from the British near the end of the Revolutionary War by the army of Virginia. Illinois then became, for a brief time, Illinois County, Virginia. Edmund Randolph was Governor of Virginia at the time Virginia ceded the Northwest Territory to the United States. The county’s boundaries were last changed in 1827, when land was taken to form Perry County. Randolph County is surrounded by the counties of Jackson , Monroe , Perry , St. Clair and Washington .
