Bishop Asbury visited "Dumb John" and his relatives several times. John gave him financial support
Randall's Church named for the Randle family and probably "Dumb John" in particular. Church began as a brush arbor that was replaced by a log church that was destroyed by fire in 1828.
His grave is marked and his house, and a slave quarters building also continue to exist. "John Randall House" is supposed to be on the National Register of Historical Places
********************
John Randall lived in the present Stanley County, North Carolina, a few miles north of Norwood. Jesse Lee, traveling the Salisbury Circuit, preached in his home in 1784. "The man of the house was always deaf and dumb," said Lee, but "he is esteemed as a pious man." The community became a regular preaching place and Asbury stopped there on numerous occasions (February 15, 1785; April 3, 1789; December 20, 1793; November 16, 1798; February 23, 1800; December 8, 1804.) Services were first conducted in the Randall house and then in a brush arbor. A church was erected before 1800. Randall Church is now the oldest in Stanley County. (Grissom, op. cit., 248.)
