Millard KIBBEE of Franklin Co. Indiana

Classification: Query
Surnames: KIBBEE KIBBE KIBBEY KIBBY CARSON RARIDEN
My ancestors are Adam CARSON/Mary of Franklin Co. Indiana. Adam died intestate ca. 1816. His widow, Mary, and Samuel PAGE were administrators. In 1830, Millard KIBBEE (the name is spelled several ways ) was appointed guardian of Adam's youngest son, James CARSON who was born 25 AUG 1815. In 1833, KIBBEE sold James' 1/8th share of Adam's land to James M. FERGUSON. Who was this Millard KIBBEE? Was he related to the CARSON family? Franklin Co. IND probate records indicate two Millard KIBBEEs, possibly father and son. Which one was James CARSON's guardian? Any thoughts welcome.

Note 1: Adam CARSON's widow, Mary, married second to Moses RARIDEN 13 JUL 1826 in Franklin Co. IND (it was a second marriage for him, too.) Moses' children by his first marriage were: Margaret; James; John; Mary; Ann F.; and Aquilla RARIDEN. The Aquila RARIDEN mentioned below is possibly Moses' son. In Adam CARSON's Administration, a Jonathan RARIDEN is mentioned as Adam CARSON's "next friend." A Jonathan RARIDEN is also security for Millard KIBBEE. It is unknown if this is the same Jonathan RARIDEN or how he was related to Moses RARIDEN.

Note 2: James CARSON son of Adam CARSON/Mary, m. 14 DEC 1840 White Co. IND Lydia BRECOUNT
