      Barnes infant heir of Oliver Barnes decd. who
      thereupon executed & acknowledged bond in open court in the
      penalty of $60 with Jefferson Moore his security &
      took the oath as the law directs.

      The above was transcribed by David James Schimka, 23 March 2012 from a microfilm copy of the originals. I took the liberty of correcting a few misspellings but left the rest, word for word, line for line. I have attached a copy of the original document image. Above all else, this document connects the descendants of Elizabeth Barnes to her ancestors. Later, 08 March 1847, a marriage bond is made in Grant County, Kentucky and a marriage license was issued that day upon the sworn oath by the groom that he was of lawful age "and the consent of the Guardian of the within Lady [was] personally given".

      Perhaps there are additional documents where her parents died in Illinois but I have not seen any yet.

    On the reverse side, next page, there are additional notes indicating that the groom swore an oath that he was of legal age as well as the "Guardian" of the bride giving his consent. This is important as the "Guardian" refers to Sarah's older brother who was made here guardian (see Grant County, Kentucky court document included in Sarah's profile) following the death of their, Samuel and Sarah's, parents in Illinois.
