MARION COUNTY - Court of Ordinary Minutes, 1856
Whereas Darling Duke has applied and served notice terms of the law for 
letters of administration upon the estate of Meredith Duke who lately died 
beyond the limits of the State of Georgia leaving an estate in the county of 
Marion in said State. Said notice having expired and no objections having been 
filed or cause being shown to the contrary. It is therefore ordered by the 
court that letters of administration do issue to said Darling Duke upon the 
estate of said Meredith Duke in said County & State upon his giving bond in 
the sum of three hundred & forty dollars with Joseph Perry as security once 
taking the oath required by law.

I found entries for each court session, continuing the administration of the 
estate by Darling Duke until:

LETTERS OF DISMISSION FROM ADMINISTRATION
GEORGIA, Marion County, By The Ordinary Of The Court Of Ordinary For said 
County 
To All To Whom These Presents Shall Come Or Be Made Known- - - Greeting:
Whereas, Darling Duke Administrator of the goods, chattels and credits of 
Meredith Duke late of said county, deceased, having well and truly 
administered all and singular the property of said estate, which came to the 
hands of said Darling Duke Administrator as aforesaid, which appears by the 
vouchers lodged in office; and from an examination of said affairs intestate, 
it appears that said Darling Duke
Administrator as aforesaid in the discharge of his duties has acted faithfully 
and honestly; and citation having been published, agreeably to law, requiring 
those having objections to the dismission of said Darling Duke Administrator 
as aforesaid, to file them in conformity with law, and no objection having 
been filed; I do therefore, in pursuance of the power vested in me, hereby 
discharge, exonerate and dismiss said Darling Duke Administrator of said 
Meredith Duke deceased, and his securities from all and any future liability 
in relation to said administration, whatever.
Given under my hand and official signature and seal of office this Third of 
March 1857,      
David Worsham  Ordinary C.O.
