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.
