Estate Papers comprise 22 pages and are found in a folder labeled "Albright, Daniel (1843)".  Most of these papers pertain to this Daniel Albright, deceased with an Executor of John F. Garrett, who died in 1846, rather than the one who died in 1843.  The part of this collection where Daniel A. Montgomery was administrator refers to a different Daniel Albright who died in 1843
