The NC Archives file re:Thomas Henderson includes dozens of scraps of paper 
that are notes and/or receipts for various things. Example: paid on 10/21/1815 
- 25 cents for Castor Oil and $5.00 for finding and making coffin (on the same 
piece of paper). 

Some were for amounts owed the estate and some were for amounts the estate 
owed. Some notes were made from that file: 

1. 25 August 1815 - bill from Dr. for 6 days 

2. 16 Aug 1815 given as a date Thomas was dec'd. Item 1 must have been for his 
final illness. 

3. R. Ward, Sheriff signed a receipt on 19 May 1818 for money collected from 
the estate. 

4. Lott Ballard was the administrator 

5. On 23 Oct. 1814 Thomas signed a receipt so he was alive then. 

6. Thomas paid an amount to the estate of Daniel Ambrose and there was a 
receipt from the estate signed by Woodhouse Rhodes. 

7. The property was ordered surveyed for the estate records so Thomas was dead 
by 8 Aug. 1815 no matter what the doctor's bill says. Maybe it was presented 
on the 16th and again on the 25th. 

8. Benester Lester was the Clerk of Court when Oct. 1815 rolled around. 
Another place it says July, but Thomas was apparently still living in July. 

9. B. Lester ordered the estate laid off and divided (real and personal) - 
this was from a copy from court records. 

10. There was a document for an estate foreclosure on a mortgage. 

11. There are lists of judgments for various amounts owed the estate. 

12. There is scribbled figuring on the backs and around the edges of some of 
the scraps. 

13. The heirs had Hezekiah Williams as guardian 

14. An unbelieveable number of pure scraps of odds and ends. All related to 
the estate.
