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 with the approval of the
county court. If under the age of 14, the county court appointed the
guardian. To guarantee the faithful performance of the guardian, a
security was required to sign the bond, also. The following records were transcribed
from Court Order Book D (1822-1829), located in the Caldwell County Clerk's
Office, Princeton, Kentucky. The page number on which the information
appears in Court Order Book D is given
at the end of each entry.
