HISTORY of RANDOLPH COUNTY ARKANSAS

by Lawrence Dalton Published 1946 - 1947

The first term of circuit court that was held in the county was held May 31, 1837, with Lewis B. Tulley as circuit judge. The following men were members of the first grand jury:

George B. Croft, William Jarrett, William Spikes, Samuel Jordon, Ruben Rice, John Mansker, Fielden Stubblefield, William Marshall, Walter G. Hogan, John Welch, James Bigger, Isaac Blount, Lewis Edwards, John Shaver, Edward Mattix, James Luttrell, Amos Lively, Daniel Plott and Joseph Spikes. The first petit jury was composed of the following: Isham F. Alcorn, Lemi Evans, Jesse Gray, Charles Hatcher, Jacob Shaver, William Crabtree, Isaac McDonald, William Mitch-ell, Charles Thompson, Isaac Everett, Daniel Lieb, and William Adair.

Evans and Crabtree were fined for not appearing as jurymen after being summoned.

The majority of the first cases tried in this court were for assault and battery and gambling. The charge for gambling was entered on the record as "Betting at seven-up" in most cases, although a few were listed as "betting at a game called three-up."

Thomas Johnson was the first prosecuting attorney.

An interesting thing to be noted in the record of the first and second terms of Randolph County Circuit Court was the frequent appearance of the names of the leading citizens of that day on the docket. It seems that even though they occupied places of prominence in their communities and were often situated in responsible positions, they did not fail to defend their side of the questions involved, even to the extent of being hauled into court and charged with "assault and battery" and "creating an affray."

The people who lived a hundred years ago were, of necessity, of the rough-and-ready type who often scorned conventional things and were not much for formality, relying a lot on impulses and looking at things for their true worth and nothing else.
