November last past, hath by her petition presented to John Porter Esquire, out
surrogate for our County of Cayuga, represented that she is entitled to
certain real and personal estate particularly specified in said petition, that
he has no testamentary Guardian; That he now resides in the town of Ledyard in
the county of Cayuga; and that it is necessary that some proper person

And we being desirous that the person and property of the said minor should be 
well and faithfully managed, do allow you the said David White to be Guardian

unto you by these presents full power and authority, to take proper and
diligent care of the said minor person, education, estate and interest of

be legally annulled.  And you the said David White are in all things to
discharge the duties of a Guardian to the said minor according to the laws of
