Hi Laurens group, I finished looking at Laurens County, SC, Guardian Records, 1807-68, FHL film #1029279, and unfortunately, I found very little. I looked for the following surnames: BALL, BURGESS, CAMPBELL, COMPTON/CRUMPTON, GREEN, HESTERLY/HESTILOW, HODGES, IRBY, KNIGHT, MCCARLEY/MCCURLEY/MCKERLEY, MEDLOCK or MATLOCK, MURPHY, NELSON, PUCKETT, ROBERTS, WATTS, and WREN. The only hit was for Mary HILL, guardian for William ATWOOD, her son in 1821. Mary HILL was also guardian of Josephine A. BALL, in June of 1821. There were also several entries for a Barrel LEAK, guardian for William P. BALL. There were maybe four pages total of accountings and sworn statements regarding the BALLs. Note that Burrell LEAK was also the guardian for Harriet LIGON [?spelling] in 1829. These folks were probably all related. I would be glad to make copies for the person researching BALL. That researchers should contact me directly at TomKrakow@juno.com. I also have on order "Divisions of Estate" LDS film #1029279, and will try to check for these names on that film also.
