Margie, Chesterfield Co., VA (south of the James River) did not exist as a "named county" until 1749....when it was created from a part of Henrico Co., VA. Prior to 1749, that area was still called Henrico Co., VA (which was then on BOTH sides of the James River). Henrico (created in 1634) was one of the original eight "shires" in Virginia. So....all of the dates that you show were before Chesterfield Co., VA actually existed. As such, perhaps the guardianship records were for the part of Henrico Co., VA that was south of the James River....and that LATER became Chesterfield Co., VA. I would check Chesterfield Co., VA for those records. Bill Davidson To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
