Near the old Fort Gaines Road, the first Inferior Court for Randolph County was held at the home of Allen and Jeanette (Roby) Wamble on the first Monday in August 1829, when Randolph County then included the areas that later became Stewart, Webster, and Randolph Counties. Lumpkin was soon made the county seat of Randolph County and remained the county seat for Stewart County after that county was formed in 1830. On February 12, 1829, Gov. John Forsyth commissioned Allen Wamble, Jared Irwin, nephew of Gov. Jared Irwin, John Cowan, and John R.M. Neel as justices of the Inferior Court of Randolph County.
