Paul and others,
I was interested in the guardianship lookups that were going on a month or
so ago but did not think I needed any information until recently. In reviewing
my source documentation with a cousin it was mentioned that since the
mother, Sarah/Sally Leach was listed as the head of house hold in the Frederick
County 1830 census, that there would be guardianship papers around because in
those days they didn't just give the kids to the mother!? Is this true? Even
though I don't think her husband was dead yet since in 1832 another son was
born and on his 1855 marriage record his listed his parent as Elijah Leach. Can
anyone shed some light on the subject?
Thanks,
Stan Leach
