Thank you, Mr. Moore !
In the case, I'm looking at, the surname of the person placed in
"guardianship" was CHANGED to that of the guardian. So far, all I've found on the
case is:
"On the motion of John W. Spencer and for reasons appearing to the Court he
is permitted to qualify as the Guardian of Wm P. Russell, who thereupon
made oath according to law and together with John H. James his surety entered
into and acknowledged a bond in the penalty of (150$) one Hundred and
Fifty Dollars conditioned according to law, which bond is ordered to be
recorded by the clerk of this Court, the surety being deemed sufficient by the
Court.” October 1880
Basically, I'm trying to learn HOW TO FIND OUT who Wm P. Russell's natural
parents were. It seems like understanding "guardianship" might be the
first step. Did his father have to be DEAD in order for him to receive a
"guardian." Best I can tell, Wm P. Russell was about 8 years old in 1880.
THANKS !

A guardian is appointed by the court to manage the affairs of a minor
who inherits an estate. Once the minor becomes of legal age the
relationship ceases.
