Was there a minium age at which a minor boy would be permited by the court
to nominate his own guardian?  I'm looking at a petition in 1761 from a boy
whose father is deceased and asked the court to appoint a particular adult
to be his guardian and wondering what kind of inference I can make about the
boy's age.  Would this have varied from colony to colony?
