You are correct on that location. If you need names etc. I can furnish most of them. It is the property that was left to my grandmother Ida Morris JohnsonIt was Morris property prior to that. Elizabeth Johnson Schoeb [email protected]

Paul and others, If you have "Google Earth" loaded on your computer, you can probably locate this cemetery pretty easily. At least what I think is the right one. From the image on GE, it appears to be located sort of cockeyed to the road in a field to the left as you go west. There appear to be three trees on three of the corners of the lot. Take care.

Hi Everyone -- I truly appreciate the efforts of our NCBertie volunteers. . .but <g> Looking long term, how long is that Church going to exist? How long will that abandoned house continue to stand? If no one lives in the house, how long will the path last? If those landmarks disappear, how will people find the cemetery? Somebody in Bertie County MUST own a GPS unit? We need to get GPS coordinates of all of the cemeteries we possibly can.

(or have they been sent to Raleigh --- (The Emerald City -- smile) --- and if so, how are these records classified? (in the county courthouses or in Raleigh.), Thanks and Best Wishes for a Blessed New Year. Mary Parker Perkins ****** Hi, Mary. The answer is that many counties - Sussex and Isle of Wight, VA, as but two of MYRIAD examples - keep their old records until the storage and maintenance becomes more expensive than that county can/will bear and then either destroy such, give those away to some parasites, as did Cumberland Co., PA, who then sell the same for obscene prices as "old documents", or box those up and send such to the States' archives as did Sussex and Isle of Wight. In the two examples given their Clerks carefully guarded those for years and allowed but limited viewing by researchers. If you mean where in the courthouse might such be found, there is no good answer. You likely should first ask the local genealogical society, next search the "chancellors' offices" for files and indexes of cases, and then search the offices of the Clerks to the courts. Failing those inquiries, ask someone in those offices where those records might be found. Should that also not help, ask the local library or the county historian. I have found, as examples, in Bledsoe Co., TN the present Librarian - Mrs. Knight - gathered the records up when those were about to be discarded and, with the help of the local genealogical society, did a wonderful job of cataloging and placing such in archival boxes and folders for use by researchers. So too did Roane Co, TN. In Pickaway County Ohio, I found myriad of such records strewn all over the floor in the courthouse attic (now gathered together for indexing, I am told), in Fentress Co, TN, I was sent to Jim _X_'s chicken barn, and there found the priceless files and papers wet, covered with chicken manure, and totally lost. Do not forget to simply ask in any of the courthouse offices where the "very old records" might be found, get permission to look at those, and DO SO. Don't forget the sheriffs' offices, many of which (such as Perry Co., PA) kept those papers that required such as a "return" or a record by those officers of service or mileage to and from the places where the parties might be served the papers. So, ASK, and if those have been preserved, visit the place where such are housed. Happy holidays Paul

Your question is not an easy one. Every selection of a guardian, whether that choice is made by the child or by someone in that child's behalf, is and has always been subject to approval by that court that has general jurisdiction over that child. That said, quite usually the court will select an appropriate person, no matter the age of the child. However after age 12 a child may "choose" that guardian, and unless someone shows cause why that person selected by the child for whatever reason should NOT serve, he/she will be appointed. A bond in an amount determined by that court - based upon the value of the assets upon which that guardian may draw upon or that may come to the child through inheritance or otherwise - will be required. Notice that the court upon its own motion always may determine that the person chosen by the child should not serve. Guardianships quite usually end at age 21 and did so at common law, but again, peculiar circumstances, such as the marriage of the ward, a finding by the court that the ward is mentally not competent to care for its own affairs after coming of age, and rarely by reason of injury or disability, the age at termination of that guardianship may be less or more than 21.
