GUARDIAN BONDS  1819-1827 - Abstracted by Gail M. Walczyk. Every name index 8 1/2 X11, Comb bound 142 pages. Price 30.00. ACC018, ISBN pending. In the Accomack Court House lies a serices of books  titled “Guardian Bonds. It contains forms of performance bonds or obligation bond recorded to ensue that certain people receive what is due to them when they reach lawful age or majority. Although the form states “orphan of _____ deceased”, in some cases this has been crossed out and child of, children of, daughter of, or son of has been written in. These were not bonds recorded by the orphans guardians, but bonds put into record by executors and administrators of the decedent’s estate, or in some cases by the parent of the child or children themselves. All that can be said is that the individual that was to be paid was underage. The word Guardian does not appear anywhere on the form although some of the executors or administrators might also be the guardians of the orphans.  In doing the abstracts printed here, it is my hope that some of the genealogical questions that have been a stumbling block on the years between 1800 and 1850. This is the first in an on going series and includes the bonds recorded for the years 1819-1827.
