Non Compos Mentis

In March 1767, her family and friends asked that the court granted her a guardian because she could not take care of herself or her estate. The court deemed her non compos mentis due to "her great age being between eighty or ninety years of age, and weakness and infirmities of body, the loss of memory and understanding." John Briant of Scituate was appointed to be her guardian. Her inventory was recorded with the probate court.[3]
