Item J#007

This appears to be the court naming John D. McDowell, N.D. Sandiford, and
Nimrod Johnson as administrators of Parmanus Johnson’s estate. Very difficult
to read. From Gibson County Court Records.

September Term 1853, Gibson County Court. John D. McDowell, Admr of Parmanus
Johnson dec’d. We John D. McDowell, N.D. Sandiford, and Nimrod Johnson are
held and firmly bound unto the State of Tennessee in the [?] sum of fifteen
thousand dollars for which payment ? will and duly be made we bind ourselves
??? as executors and administrators. The condition of the obligation is ....
[I just can’t read it].

Court seems to be doing this on September 5, 1853.

Except for the first line mentioning administrators of Parmanus Johnson’s
estate, I can’t see much that applies to the administration of Johnson’s
estate. In about the 2nd paragraph there’s something about making a just and
accurate account to the court and there’s further reference to “his death”.
