On 14 Feb 1853 he presents to the court an inventory of the estate of Thomas G. Childers, a minor, consisting only of 80 acres of land subject to the widows dower.
A few days later, 17 Feb 1853, Thomas G. Childers, minor and heir to the estate of Dan'l R. Childers, decd., asks the court to change his guardian from Benj G.
