Book excerpt: This 407-page publication is a word-for-word transcription of the Stewart County, Tennessee county records involving guardianship for the period 1806-1842. Transcribed records include court orders, guardian bonds, guardian returns and guardian settlements. Primary sources of the transcribed records are the County Court Minute Books and the Settlements and Bonds (will) Books. Some transcribed records come from the Loose Records of the Circuit Court.

Guardianship records often include, but are not limited to: - Statements of family relationships among guardians, their wards and the benefactors, useful for proving family relationships in the absence of recorded wills - Financial accounts of monies received and spent by the guardian, useful both for proving family relationships and for insight into the life of the wards - Indications of when a ward reached maturity or married, useful for pinpointing birth years or identifying names of spouses
