    2 Jan 1860
    L.M.C. Melton appointed Guardian of
    John H. Melton, minor heir of Martha McMullin Melton
    Bondsmen: LMC Melton, RJDW Allen, WO Allen

    RJDW Allen appointed Guardian of
    Margaret A, Ellen E, Robert N and Martha J Allen, all minor heirs of Levina McMullin Allen

    Note: Leander and RJDW are being appointed guardians of their children to represent their interests in the settlement of the estate of the children's grandfather, John McMullin.

    John McMullin's daughters, Martha McMullin Melton and Lavina McMullin Allen, both died before their father so their interest in his estate is passing to their children (not their husbands).
