                                                      John C. Nowell (Seal)
William H. Smith C.C.O.                               John Martin (Seal)

(Note-John C. Noell and Beverly Noell are the only two sons of 
Robert Noell left alive in Oglethorpe County in 1834. The only 
reason I can imagine that there was a need for this action is 
the death of Robert Noell's wife, Mary Noell. The bond amount 
is very small indicating little value of the estate. However, 
Mary's death could have occurred between 1821 and 1822 as that 
is when the land left to Beverly by Robert's will was taken by 
Beverly Noell. However, I believe that between 1821 and 1822 
Mary probably started living with James Noell, who died before 
May 12, 1830 but after the census of that year, and is the female 
between 60-70 in his household in 1830) and this action was 
precipitated by her death in early 1834.
