James Bonner petitions the court regarding guardianship of his orphaned nephews and nieces, heirs to the estates of their deceased parents, Noel Level and Sarah Ann Bonner Level. He informs the court that the two youngest Level children, Harriet M. and Mary Ann, are minors under the age of fourteen and require a court-appointed guardian; N. Harrison and Dempsey W. Level, being over fourteen years of age, may choose their own guardian. Bonner cites in his 1859 guardian's report that the Level estates include slaves, who are too young to hire out.
Result: Granted.
