A guardian was
appointed for a person who could not act for himself or was under the age of 21
years. If over the age of 14, the minor could choose his own guardian with the
approval of the county court. If under age 14, the county court appointed the
guardian. The appointment of guardians was recorded in county court order books
(court minutes) as well as in a separate guardian bond book. The following
entries can be found in County Court Order Book O as well as in Guardian Bond
Book 1878-1900. The source for each
appointment is found at the end of each entry. For example, OB O:450 refers to
Order Book O, page 450 and BB:13 refers to Guardian Bond Book, page 13. Sec: refers to the security who signed the
bond with the guardian. Both sources are
found in the Livingston County Clerk's Office, Smithland, Kentucky.
