In Kentucky, I have found them written in the County Court Order Book. In Tennessee, I have found the actual receipts and orders in the Chancery Court records for that county. I know that's not much to go on, but both guardian and minor or "minor heir of" are listed in the index for the most part. Randy Jobe

There is language in these covenants that states that the guardian is to, "make out and return to said court a just and true account of all moneys and description of such other estate which may come to his hands as Guardian of said ward."s Did this report have a name and where does one go in the Courthouse to find these reports?

I had to send out the post for today in an abbreviated form. My new computer, for the 3rd time, went down and the tech was here. There was a glitch somewhere in the system than wasn't evident and we're hoping it has been solved - or the computer goes back. Even the tech never really figured out what was going on, but it has been bypassed - too techie to explain what it was doing! I'll post more next week on the roads. Charlie has posted the puzzler for the week - please give it a try! I'd like to mention that I finished 2 more books - indexes will be available for the week as usual. They are: Barren Co KY 1858 Marriages. 146 marriage certificates and licenses are included. Scanned from faded originals, each copy has been digitally enhanced to restore the writing. Shows name of bride of groom, date of license, date and location of marriage, witnesses and minister's name. Warren Co KY Guardian Bonds Volume 1, Feb 1844 - July 1852. Approximately 170 bonds scanned from the originals. These show bondsman, securities, amount of bond, date of bond, name of child or children placed under guardianship and name of parent or relative. 178 pages including full-name index. I'm playing catch-up today as I was down for a couple of days, but I will reply to guesses or requests!

I've been attempting to learn if Monroe Co's historical and genealogical society is meeting. In the Glasgow Times today it is stated that they meet on the third Thursday of each month, usually at 6 pm at the Economic Development Center in Tompkinsville. (I have no further address). They are featuring a "Mini-Museum" at the South Central Bank's main office - a medical display of things used by doctors during the Civil War. This includes a saw used to amputate arms and legs during the war. Most items come from the collection of Dr. James E Carter who is the current president of the society.

From the files of Glasgow Times of 57 years ago - dated 12 July 1945. Glasgow's Jockey Row has a long history. 57 years ago it teemed with color and action. The Times advertised, "J. J. McCafferty, the well known Western horseman, will sell to the highest bidder on Jockey Row, for cash, two car loads of mares and horses, bred from Hambletonian stallions and Texas mares. Before the sale, genuine cowboys will give a free exhibition in fancy western riding and lasso work." The road west was a long road, but still it lured many from Barren county, even though they often took the long road home in a short time. More is reported of the large group who almost depopulated old Rocky Hill to try their fortunes in the new land: "We understand that several of the emigrant party who went out of Old Rocky Hill to Texas have returned." Others have written their friends to buy them some fattening hogs as they will return to the land of their birth as soon as they could and intend to stay. This is the land of hogs, hominy and plenty; we shouldn't forget." It was the custom in the old days for citizens to gather at the cemetery on Sundays to visit the resting places of their dead. Most lots had wrought iron benches on them for the convenience of those who measured their visit, not in minutes, but hours. So indignation ran high when the privacy of these visits was violated as the Times witnesses: "There is complaint that Sunday loafers and loungers have taken possession of all available seats at the cemetery, to the exclusion of those who put the seats there, and to whom the lots belong. One gentleman complains that he walked out of the cemetery Sunday and was excluded from the lot where his dead were buried by crowds of idlers sitting around, laughing and jesting and cracking hickory nuts on the nearby monuments. Changes were marked each week in the life which centered around the square. J. F. F. Jewell bought the Shirley brick kiln and announced he would build a handsome residence on the corner lot. S. Goodman was planning to build a new store building and residence on the lot where his business was being operated. The new addition of Pages Heights was in the first stages of developement. Jack Clark, who owned it, announced he would build his home there. At Normal Hall, citizens were looking forward to an Art Loan and Art Gallery which was to be one exhibition there. John S. Botts and Miss Lillie Deah were married. Spirits, dampened by failure of the first trying for a gas well in Glasgow, soared again with the return of E. R. Chase of Finley, Ohio, who was willing to try his luck again. He proposed to the city fathers that if he was granted the same exclusive privileges as were granted his home company the past spring that he would commence boring for natural gas within 60 days. The privileges were granted him, much land was leased and he left for home to gather up his drilling rigs and derricks. Glasgow fans were reading with avid interest accounts reprinted from the Louisville Post concerning the "pink tea" to be given in Louisville by Mrs. Henry Murrell for Miss Rosa Gorin, granddaughter of Mrs. Olivia Rogers, of this place, and "one of the charming debutantes of 1887." The tea was to follow the New Orleans style and would be featured by pink china, pink table cloth, pink napkins, pink flowers and the guests were to all come in pink costumes. Four well known society ladies of Louisville were to serve: Misses Fannie Burge, Lillie Anderson, Lillie, Jennie Munday.

The case was prepared for trial and, upon consideration, the chancellor held that the plaintiff was not entitled to the relief sought. In reaching his conclusion he was evidently influenced by the idea that there was no consideration for the writing signed by TANDY in which he agreed not to enter into the livery business again in Glasgow while BREEDING was engaged in that business. Discussion was held about the signing of the papers; how the parties understood what they were signing. It was noted that the writing was executed upon a date different from that which date it bears and the sale had been consummated some time before the writing was executed - thus cannot be considered or received for overthrowing the charges. The chancellor noted that "Glasgow is a small town, and it cannot be said that, in obligating appellee not to engage in the livery business in that town while appellant was engaged in the same business, appellant was imposing upon appellee an unreasonable restriction. They were active business competitors. There could be no possible motive on the part of appellant to buy the business of the appellee except it was with the understanding that he would rid himself of this competition. The record shows that appellee had a good business, a valuable trade, and it is unreasonable to believe that appellant would have wanted to purchase this business without having some assurance that appellee would not thereafter engage in the same business. The contract into which they entered afforded him this protection. The consideration paid by him for it was adequate; and as the contract merely limited appellee's right to do business in that particular town, and then only so long as appellant should be engaged in the same business therein, it was a valid and enforceable contract." After citing many legal precedents, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Barren County Circuit Court.

Judy Conley wrote me yesterday about the Bridges family. She found a message back in 1999 that I'd made with information taken from the Barren Co Pioneer certificate program. She disagrees with some of the data and needs your help. Here is her message - if you have information, would you please write her privately. Her e-mail address is: [email protected] Thanks, Sandi Judy writes: In regard to the Bridges line, I have a significant gap after Richard Bridges (1798-1802), my maternal 3rd ggrandfather, and his father presumed to be James Bridges m. Nancy. I can find no records past mentions and a vague will abstract for Richard. I did see your post on him and you said James Bridges and Nancy Williams were his parents. However, the Nancy seems to me to be Nancy Ashworth, daughter of John Ashworth. Nancy Williams seemed to have married Thomas Bridges, son of John Bridges. Then there is the very serious problem of which James Bridges. I think he was the son of William Moses Bridges which ties him to the Prince William, VA Bridges and ultimately back to Isle of Wight and Gen Joseph Bridger. My problem with James and William is a big obstacle.

If there is one leg left in the calls, it will be obvious. If two, then a few guesses will usually show what was intended. Also, it may mean that Pendleton's line is needed to show what to follow.

Good morning. It seems we're already half way through 2012 and I'm still writing 2011! Trusting you had a great weekend and are ready for another week. First - as you can note; I'm putting out books as quickly as I can after not being able to do much the past few years. Here are two more - as always, you can request the index by writing me privately - no charge. Note that I only keep these indexes on the computer for about a week. Barren County KY 1913 Death Certificates, Surnames M through Z. 113 crisp copies of the original documents are included in this book. As the county grows, the files become larger and have to be split into two separate volumes. Information included: name, date of birth, age, marital status, place of birth, occupation, date of death, parents' names and place of birth, name of individual reporting death, cause of death, doctor's name, burial date and cemetery name, name of undertaker. Includes delayed certificates. Some of these certificates show1815-1820's dates of birth. 119 pages including an index of names of deceased, family and who reported death plus an index showing physicians, undertakers, registrars and cemetery buried. Barren Co 1913 African American Death Certificates. 66 death certificates, including delayed certificates. Copies of the original documents. Shown is: Name, marital status, residence, date of birth, age, occupation, place of birth, parents' names and place of birth, individual reporting death, registrar, date of death, cause of death, physician's name, burial place and date, undertaker. 70 pages including full-name index with physician's names, undertaker's name, burial place and date.

I am reading a deed that at one point says, "with Pendleton's line S 65 1/4 degrees for 62 1/2 degrees W 27 poles to the beginning." Now I understand that "S 65 1/4 degrees W 27 poles" would mean "face South and turn 65 1/4 degrees to the West, then go 27 poles" (1 pole = 16.5 feet), but I don't understand the "for 62 1/2 degrees" part. Any ideas? Charlie

The following is taken from "The Southwestern Reporter" Volume 146, May 22-June 12, 1912, published in St. Paul by West Publishing Co,1912. This is a case before the Kentucky Court of Appeals on May 14, 1912. I will abstract from the appeal as it is quite lengthy and will continue next week. This case had been decided by the Barren County Circuit Court in an action taken by F. M. BREEDING against P E. TANDY. In Barren Co, the court had found for the defendant and in this case, the plaintiff is appealing the decision. PORTER& SANDIDGE and DUFF & HUTCHERSON, all of Glasgow are representing the appellant. C H HATCHETT and BAIRD & RICHARDSON, again all of Glasgow, represent the appellee. The case: Prior to May, 1905, F M BREEDING and P E TANDY were each engaged in the livery business in the town of Glasgow, KY, and were active competitors in said business. In the latter part of that month, Breeding purchased of Tandy his livery outfit, business, and the building in which it was conducted, agreeing to pay him $3,500 for the personal property and a like amount for the building. The following writing evidenced the trade: "Glasgow, Ky., May 27, 1905. The agreement between P. E. Tandy and F. M. Breeding has this day bought of P. E. Tandy his entire stock of livery goods, consisting of horses, harness, buggies and all said livery stock of whatever kind. The said Breeding is to pay for said stock $3,500.00. Breeding also buys the barn in which Tandy is doing business for $3,500.00., the terms of said sale as agreed between said Tandy and Breeding. F. M. Breeding, P. E. Tandy." This was signed on the date which it bears, to wit, May 27, 1905. On the 31st day of May, or four days thereafter, the following writing was executed by Tandy and delivered to Breeding: "Glasgow, Ky., May 31, 1905. I, P. E. Tandy, of the first part, have this day sold my livery stable to F. M. Breeding of the second part. The party of the first pard does hereby agree not to engage in the livery business, as a part or as a whole, in the town of Glasgow, Kentucky, as long as I am engaged in said business in said town. P. E. Tandy." The purchase price for the livery outfit and real estate was paid by Breeding, and Tandy thereupon ceased to engage in the livery business, until the 31st day of July, 1910, at which time he purchased of one WILBURN a livery business which was being operated by him in said town. At that time Breeding was still engaged in the livery business. Following his purchase, Tandy improved the business and at once became an active competitor of Breeding. On September 7th, following, Breeding instituted a suit, in which he sought to enjoin Tandy from continuing to operate or run a livery business in Glasgow, and asked damages in the sum of $600 for the violation of the contract. In the petition it is alleged that, in the writing which was signed by Tandy, by mistake of the draughtsman, the paper was made to read that the party of the first part, which was Tandy, agreed not to engage in the livery business, as a whole or as a part, in the town of Glasgow, "as long as I may engage in said business in said town," when it should have read "as long as the party of the second part is engaged in business in said town," and that the paper in this particular failed to express the true contract and agreement between the parties. Tandy answered, admitted the execution of the paper, but claimed that it had been executed after the trade with Breeding had been closed, and was done gratutously [sic] and as a favor to Breeding; that it was no part of their contract or trade; and that there was no consideration for the paper. As a further defense, he pleased that, before he purchased the Wilburn livery business, he procured the consent of Breeding that he might do so, and that, relying on said consent, he had been induced to invest his money in the Wilburn livery business, and that Breeding was, on this account, estopped from attempting to prevent him from engaging in the business. The material allegations in the answer were traversed by a reply. To be continued.
