Elias Jent, 
Washington Kelly appointed administrator for him Aug. 5,
1865. with Clinton Combs as surety.  (Family legend says that During the
Civil War, he and his wife was going from Hindman to Lotts Creek and
stopped at the home of Mrs. Cornett and while there some soldiers came
by, captured him and took him and his wife outside. In a few minutes the
others heard shots rang out and when the soldiers had left they found
him and his wife hung from a tree. They were buried nearby on Big Branch
of Troublesome. This bond seems to help support that legend since it
proves he died before 1865. Since his wife not appointed adm  she was
probably dead by this time also.  There are at least two graves at the
site he was supposed to be buried at. No names on stones.)

Richard Smith, Washington Kelly was appointed Administrator of his
estate on August 11, 1865.
