    1. James Eubank in Guardian Bonds
    2. Laurence E. Dickerson
    3. Does anyone have access to a copy of the Guardian Bonds of Caroline County? I think I may have skipped a line in transcribing them and the library which has the book is quite a ways from where I am. The line reading, "The condition of the above obligation is such that if James Eubank, Guardian unto Eldred, William and John Eubank, Children of James Eubank, then this obligation to be void" does not make sense and seems to be missing something. Is that the way it is printed in the abstract, or did I forget to write something down? The complete citation is: Caroline County Guardian Bonds, page 277. We, James Eubank, Pleasant Chiles and John Eubank are held and firmly bound to Geo. Buckner, Charles A. Lewis, John Scott, James J. Garnett and Henry C. Coleman, Gentlemen, Justices of Caroline County, in the sum of two thousand dollars, sealed with our seals this 11th day of December, Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred and twenty and in the 45th year of the Commonwealth. The condition of the above obligation is such that if James Eubank, Guardian unto Eldred, William and John Eubank, Children of James Eubank, then this obligation to be void. Sealed and delivered in the presence of The Court James Eubank Pleasant Chiles John Eubank At a court held for Caroline County at the Courthouse on the 11th day of December 1820.
