> Can anyone help please? my great grandfather's (Carl WORTHINGTON) death
record
> indicates the names of Randolph and Julia WORTHINGTON as parents or
> relatives, I have always presumed that this meant they were his
> parents. He is buried in Randolph WORTHINGTON's family plot.
> Randolph was given guardianship in April 1876 in the Town of
> Allegheny for Carl and released the guardianship in April 1888 in
> Salamanaca when Carl reached the age of majority.
>
> Can anyone tell me why he would need guardianship of his own son?
> Another piece of information that might help, Randolph was married to
> 2nd wife Ruvina E. abt 1872. I can't find a death record for first
> wife, so possibly there was a divorce or something else.

> I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
