Chesterfield Co. didn't exist before 1749, so the only records would be in
Henrico Co. By the time Chesterfield was created, an individual born in 1718
would have no need for a guardian.

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Orphans in Henrico/Chesterfield Co 1725

Question:  When a person is given guardianship over a child, what happens to
the child, does the child move from Henrico Co to Chesterfield and live with
the guardian?

I am researching a family in Henrico Co 1721 to 1737, Bristol Parish wardens
gave guardianship to an uncle living in Chesterfield, but assumingly the
father died in 1721 and the mother died before 1737, the child was born
about 1718, would there be any guardianship records in Chesterfield County?
