Gale, I have a case in my family where the parent obviously was destitute and gave the children into service where the person they worked for became guardian. If you wanted money to go to children, you gave it to them specifically. Another case in my family, there was a specific exclusion for a daughter who married a man out of the faith and the father was not having any money go to her since she had married without permission.

I have found this to be true in a number of cases when the maternal grandfather has left a bequest to a deceased daughter. Reasoning is to protect the inheritance for those specifically name grandchildren in case the father remarries. And, not always is the father named as their guardian. I have seen estates where the son-in-law had fallen from favor for one reason or another with other relatives or neighbors appointed as guardians. Many times children in the same family were given different guardians and occasionally they were replaced for various reasons.

Among my mother's papers, we found a letter which had been written by her father's mother requesting release from guardianship of her youngest daughter. Her husband had died and apparently the daughter had been left some money or property. The daughter was now an adult, and her mother felt it was time to give up guardianship. It took us quite a long time to figure it all out. Part of the problem was that they had moved from Iowa to California. Eventually, it all made sense.
