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? > Janet L.
