I've not had actual experience with Baldwin, but do know that records are kept for this sort of thing under Administrator and Guardian Bonds. This involves estates when there was no will (thus an Administrator), but also Bonds ($$) had to be posted whenever a Guardian was appointd for orphan children. That is why the two of them are together. Maybe someone else can tell us if these have ever been published in a Quarterly or not.... Here's the LDS film for them: Guardians bonds 1830-1963 FHL US/CAN Film 415170 They probably also have an Archives film on them for Baldwin County. If someone would order the film and transcribe a few extra pages, that would be wonderful!!
