A Puzzling Guardianship Case


On 21 July 1836, Valentine Brock, son of Valentine Brock and Elizabeth Lundy, married Nancy W. Vandigriff. Nancy was the daughter of John Vandigriff and Margaret Crockett.

Their first child a daughter, Margaret P. Brock was born on 2 April 1838. They had another daughter born about 1846 whom they named Mary Ann.

On 6 July 1840 the Court of Ordinary for Henry County, Georgia appointed Thomas D. Johnson Guardian of the person + property of Margaret P. Brock A Minor.

On that date (6 July 1840) Margaret P. Brock is a baby just reaching the age of 2 years 3 months 4 days. Her Father Valentine Brock and Mother Nancy W. Vandigriff  Brock are both living.
Why does Margaret P. Brock need a Guardian?
