Estate of James W. McAdory
The following letter of administration was attached to a probate report I
received from Winston County Probate Record Books 4A, 1849 – 1851, pages
140-147. I have no idea who these people are. For the benefit of any interested
party I have transcribed the portion I have. My interpretation of the
deceased’s name is highly suspect.
