In records that are partially indexed, always look for names of all family members. This 18th century guardianship for the children of Ephraim Puffer in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, is only indexed under the name of the oldest child.

Some years ago I found an ancestral grandfather’s name in a book of abstracted orphan’s court records which listed the names of minor children & two older brothers that had been passed down from Bible records showing the two older brothers assigned as guardians of their siblings after their father’s death – giving the father’s name. A cousin used the father’s name & found records for several further generations back. Much thanks to the lady who worked in those courthouse records and had her results printed in multiple books.
