Born ‎29 Oct 1883 Clay Co, Kansas, USA‎
Linnie (or Minnie) Randolph was the adopted daughter of W J Randolph and Sarah Denny.

This was written in W J Randolph's family bible:

Linnie Arminta Acree was born October 29, 1883 in Clay County,

Kansas. She became Linnie Arminta Randolph by adoption into the family on January 31, 1884.

The Name Arminta

From Bette Bayse (THANK YOU!):

Between 1880 and 1897, there were a total 139 Armintas in the U.S., based on SS records.

From the same records Araminta supposedly appears only from 1880 to 1884, although Arminta is considered a derivation of Araminta.

The source of the name may be literary. Here's what I read:

"Sir John Vanbrugh, architect, writer and politician is said to have coined the name for his work, "The Confederacy" in 1705. However his contemporary and partner William Congreve did as well, and included this name in his play "The Old Bachelor" in 1693. It has been suggested that neither coined the name and in fact, were inpired by someone that they both knew. If this is true then the name existed well before both men used it, and its true origins are unknown."

Another possible source, Arminta is from old Greek and is found in modern English and Italian. A variant is Aminta.

George's comment: It is an unusual but very pleasant sounding name, particularly when paired with "Acree" It should be more popular. On the other hand, thankyou Arminta (and Liefton's) parents for choosing something unique. Otherwise we would never have traced your tree.
