Houston County Researchers: When I have a book which is currently in print, I almost never post portions of it *anywhere*. However, in this case, I am making an exception, even though I still have a few dozen of this particular book left. The time period between 1865 and 1870 is one of the most difficult to trace, for those seeking the names of an orphan's parents. And since the Civil War was just ending in 1865, and this country was going thru the Reconstruction Period up into the 1870s, America was basically in a transitional period. You would be amazed at the number of widows and orphans who made an exodus out West, usually heading to Texas and various points in between. Therefore, I am going to post the 1865 to 1870 Guardians Bonds from Book "A", pages 110 thru 154. This information is part of a book entitled: HOUSTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, ADMINISTRATORS & GUARDIANS BOND ABSTRACTS 1852-1870: By William A. Mills. Copyright 1998. I will post it in 2 separate posts. Take care & happy hunting! ___________________________ William A.
