Does anyone have any information on the problems with the guardianship of WIlliam K. Cottons' minor heirs after his death in Dec. 1849. There was a court appearance of Samuel G. Craig, the guardian, Ad Litem(sp) of the five children in Vermilion Co., Court in 1850. Isaac S. Cotton was the administrator of the estate. Was he an uncle ?? Mary Brooks Cotton, the mother was still living. She was enumerated as head of household in the 1850 cenus - Vermilion county with the five children.; Hannah M., John W., Sarah, America E., and Benjamin. Any information, much appreciated. Lois
