"The people of the State of New York, by the Grace of God free and
independent: To David White of the town of Ledyard in the County of Cayuga,
[send greeting.] Whereas Lydia Culver the mother of Lucy Culver, a minor, has
by her petition presented to John Porter Esquire, surrogate of our County of
Cayuga, represented that the said Lucy Culver was an infant daughter of Ozias
B. Culver, late of the town of Ledyard in the County of Cayuga, now deceased,
that the said said infant is of the age of eleven years, on the Seventeenth
day of September last past; that the said infant is legally entitled to
certain real and personal estate and that she now resides in the town of
Ledyard in the County of Cayuga; and that it is necessary that some proper
person should be appointed Guardian to the said infant on account of her
tender age; and in and by the said petition the said petitioner did pray that 
you might be appointed said Guardian: And we being desirous that the person
and property of the said infant should be well and faithfully managed and
attended to, do appoint you the said David White to be Guardian to the said
infant, and do grant unto you by these presents full power and authority, to
take proper and diligent care of the said infant person, education, estate and
interest of every kind, for the profit and benefit of the said infant, until
she shall arrive at the age of fourteen years, and until another Guardian
shall be chosen in your place.  And you the said David White are in all
things to discharge the duties of a Guardian to the said infant according to
the laws of this state; and to render a true account of your Guardianship when
thereinto lawfully required. 

In testimony whereof, we have caused the seal of the office of our said
surrogate to be hereinto affixed.

the ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and thirty two (Signed)                                                         John Porter Surrogate
