At a Court held for Shenandoah Co., VA. Tues. 1-14-1795, this bond was acknowledged & ordered to record. Teste: (?) Williams CSC. (Comment: since we know John Gillock Sr's Will was probated 6-28-1783, he died before that date. And we have documentary proof (which follows) of Hannah (Wolfenberger) Gillock married George Wood 6-1-1784, Shenandoah Co., VA. I am not sure why this guardian bond was made, Does it mean that John Jr's mother Hannah (Gillock) Wood was dead also??? John Jr was born 5-1-1778, if this date is correct he would be age 16 years & 8 months. John Sr., did not leave anything of real value, Real or Personal Property. So one guess is as good as the other DGJ) (John Jr. leaves a very long list of descendants, which will follow soon DGJ)
