(No bonds were entered in this book 1842-1848)

Monroe county was formed from Ralls Co. In 1831, making these bonds among the earliest records for the county. Only a small percentage of those who died left wills. For those who died intestate, an administrator was appointed by the court, but the early probate records seldom list the heirs of an intestate estate, which makes the guardianship bonds especially useful, While guardians were appointed only for the minor heirs, sometimes there were no older children.  Knowing the names of even some of the heirs often helps to identify older members of the family.

In the early records, the term "guardian" is used.  Later, the bonds often used the term "guardian and curator", meaning guardian of the person and curator of the estate.  It will be noted that often a parent was appointed guardian of his or her own children, which usually meant that those children had inherited property from someone else, for instance, a grandparent, or the other parent.  The court appointed a guardian for a minor under 14 years of age.  At 14, he could choose his own guardian, subject to the approval of the court.  The term "infant" is used in court records for a minor, and does not necessarily mean a baby.  Also, sometimes a guardian or curator was appointed for a person judged incapable of handling his own affairs.  The abbreviation "G&C" mean guardian and curator, and "sec." for names of those who posted security for the bond.

Page numbers run to 200, and then, they begin 101 again.  So we have used the correct numbers for the first 200 pages, and then used 2-101, 2-102, etc., to indicate that the reference is to the second series of numbers.
