In the early 1860s, if the father of a small child died and the mother was still living, was it customary to appoint a male guardian for the child? In the case I am researching, Wilhelmina Wachlin married William Hellerman in 1861 at Salem Church. A son, also named William, was born about 1862. In 1865 Geroge Goodapple, Wilhelmina's brother-in-law, was appointed guardian for William Hellerman (I assume the child, although no age was given). In 1866 Wilhelmina remarried, so I suppose William the husband had died. Any comments? Arlene

You may want to check court records. I once found where a father died and the mother went to court to petition for the right to her own children because they were given in charge of a male family member. I have also seen court records showing a male family member taking charge of the children of a deceased male even though the wife was alive. They had some really different rules back in the 'good old days'.

While the names are intriguing, there is no match because the Edward Morris family I am researching came to neighboring Missouri about 1860. Because they were Jewish, they traveled frequently to Quincy, and may have had relatives there. Thanks though.

Meg, just browsing through a lot of the counties, there are several VANCE names everywhere. Found some in DeWitt, Fulton, Perry, Logan, and quite a few central locations. There are also a lot of VANCE names in KY. Good luck, Shari. When I run across some more names, or go back to some of the other counties, I will write them down, and put on list where they are.
