Estate Rec., Bertie-Lewis J Barnacasel;Kenneth Barnacassel
These estate records are related so I'm putting two in one message.Otherwise I'll list each separate since not everyone is interested in all Barneycastles.I'll try to spell the names as they appear in the records.
Kenneth Barneycastle, 1845
This one's a big file, so I'll list the various pages as they were copied to me by the archives
1)Guardian Bond- Beverly Barneycastle is appointed guardian to his son, Kennethy Barneycastle, and the bond for 10,000 pounds (sure seems like a huge $ amount for a bond) is signed by Beverly (his mark), Jonathan Cooper, Henry Cobb (his mark).Witness:Solomon Cherry.Date of bond: Nov 11, 1816.
This document puzzles me - did Beverly's wife die?Why would Beverly need to make a bond of guardianship to his own son?
2)Bond of Administration:William L. Williams, Charles W. Jacocks, and Levi Hardin sign bond, WIlliam L. Williams is appointed administrator of the estate of Kenneth, deceased.Date of bond Nov. 13, 1845.
3)Court document stating:Kenneth Barnacastle, administrator of the heirs of Jasper Ward, deceased, was granted a patent to the "NW Fourth of section of township Fifty-four North in Twenty-two west" in the state of Missouri. Kenneth died in October 1845, and left two surviving children, Aura (? can't be sure of this name) and Julian Ann Barnacastle.Julia is "not now over nineteen years old".May 9, 1859.
4)Petition of Charles W. Jacocks, guardian of Kenneth & Lewis L. Barnacassel:"the estate of Beverly B. gave his ward a horse colt, the object of the gift was to secure the use of Kenneth Barnacasel his son.The use of the horse which objects by the death of said Kenneth Barnacasel is now defeated.That the colt will be an expense and because of the extreme youth of his ward (Lewis)can not be of any use to him."Jacocks asks to sell the horse, signs document as guardian of Lewis.
