A guardian was appointed when a person was unable to act
for himself or was a minor (under the age of 21 years). At the age of 14, a
minor could choose his own guardian. If under the age of 14, the county court
appointed the guardian. The following records were transcribed from Court
Order Book J, located in the Caldwell County Clerk's Office, Princeton,
Kentucky. The sources are listed at the end
of each entry. For example, J:177 refers to County Court Order Book J, page
177.
