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.
