1860 Guardianship records for Leander Melton and John H. Melton

Meigs County, TN

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).
