Livingston County, KY Estate Administrators 1900

Administrators of estates were usually appointed in county court shortly after a person's death. Therefore, you get an approximate death date by the date of the administrator appointment. The appointment will be recorded in the county court minutes and sometimes in a separate administrator's bond book. The administrator was required to post bond with at least one person as surety for the faithful performance of his duties as administrator. A female administrator is called an administratrix. The following information comes from Livingston County, Kentucky Administrator's Bond Book C (1886-1905).The page number in the Bond Book is at the end of the entry.
