(Signed) M. Hull, Administrator. [Sworn in Open Court]. ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE BY AMD: Transcriber Alta Mitchem Durden ggggranddaughter of Nathaniel Mitchum It is evident from the nature of items sold that Henry H Meacham, 1766-1836 (married Nancy Smith they moved from Wake to Anson Co NC), who apprenticed Nathaniel Mitchum at the age of 13 in Wake County in 1793, kept his promise to teach Nathaniel the trade of carpentry. It is interesting, too, that the occupation of Nathaniel's son, Aaron, b. 1826 LCN, twin of John Robert Mitchem also b LCN , has been recorded as "chairmaker".
