I've run into a 1756 guardianship record where the person providing
security for the guardian is thought by many to have been born 1738 or
1740, making him 16 or 18 years old.  That certainly does not sound
right to me.

Does anyone know of an age requirement to provide security (bond) for
such a court transaction?  If there was a requirement, what was it?

Thanks
